Call Your Legislators Today to Oppose AHCA
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
NAADAC
The House of Representatives may vote this week on the American Health Care Act of 2017 (H.R. 1628) to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, the AHCA would:
  • Cut Medicaid by $880 billion and strip more than 20 million people of their health insurance.
  • Allow states to remove essential health benefits (which require addiction and mental health benefits) and
  • Return to a time when insurers could discriminate against people with preexisting conditions, charging them higher premiums and selling them plans that don’t meet their health needs by limiting benefits and increasing out-of-pocket costs.
It is critical that we make our voices heard again! Please call AND email your legislators today to ask them to oppose the AHCA.

May is Mental Health Month
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
NAADAC
Throughout May, NAADAC and participants across the country are raising awareness for mental health. Each year, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, and advocate for equal care. According to SAMHSA’s 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, of the 20.8 million people aged 12 or older who had a substance use disorder during the past year, 41.2 percent had a co-occurring mental illness.
Given the prevalence of co-occurring substance use and mental disorders, it is critical to advance research on the factors that contribute to co-occurring disorders and to develop interventions to prevent and treat them. For Mental Health Month, the Mental Health Association has created toolkits for individuals and organizations to educate people about habits and seemingly common behaviors that are risk factors for, or indicators of mental health or substance use disorders.

Upcoming Webinar - Developmental Trauma Disorder
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
Wed, May 10, 2017 @ 3:00- 4:30pm ET
(2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)

Adverse experiences of childhood can account for 32.4% of all mental health disorders, 41.2% if disruptive behavior disorders, 32.4% of anxiety disorders, 26.2% of mood disorders, and 21% of substance use disorders. These disorders are linked to early death, higher levels of incarceration and recidivism, reliance on social services, unemployment, and shorter life spans. As many of the individuals with substance use disorders fit within the definition of developmental trauma, addiction professionals need to know the dynamics of childhood trauma and neglect and their impact on the course of treatment and how to providing trauma-informed care (TIC).

WARNING: Scam in Virginia
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
It has come to the attention of NAADAC that a serious scam is being perpetrated on SUD counselors in Virginia. Emails are being sent (via Psychology Today) inquiring about marriage counseling for a couple on vacation in “your city.” The “client” says that they will send a check for 50% of the amount of between 10-12 sessions that will be attended during their vacation. A cashier’s check arrives for double the entire amount with a follow-up email explaining that an error was made and asking the counselor to deposit the check and then refund the 50% overpayment.
