Tuesday, February 27, 2024
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Collaborative Care, a model of healthcare developed in 2017 for the treatment of chronic conditions, embraces the full spectrum of physical, mental, and social health. This approach to care is well suited for the complex, growing, and costly client population that has a substance use disorder and are justice involved. In this session, you will learn evidenced-based tactics proven to help clients take control of their health and maintain long-term recovery. These tactics include lifting health literacy, encouraging client engagement through contingency management, and promoting pro social behavior through cognitive behavioral therapy and problem solving therapy. The effectiveness of each tactic will be demonstrated through healthcare outcome data analytics. This session will also discuss how to access Medicaid financial resources to fully fund the provision of collaborative care and other related healthcare cost in a manner that creates a win for treatment courts, a win for the client, and a win for Medicaid. The economic benefits for treatment courts, clients, and Medicaid will be illustrated via financial analysis that highlights the cost savings of increasing health literacy and engaging clients in preventive care. 1247 of 2000 max character
