| The 2023 Richard Saitz Memorial Lecture registration is now open! We are pleased to welcome Dr. William Miller to present, “Going Upstream: Addiction Care for the Masses.” Description: Although the vast majority of people with diagnosable substance use disorders will never receive specialist addiction treatment, most will recover. Dr. Saitz was passionate about serving this at-risk population. Drawing on his 50 years of research, Dr. Miller will discuss various ways of “going upstream” to intercede at earlier stages of problem development including (1) teaching moderation skills, (2) brief opportunistic interventions such as SBIRT, (3) motivational interviewing and a person-centered clinical style, and (4) providing behavioral health services within mainstream healthcare. Join us on May 3 at 8 pm ET Register HERE
