clark, final thoughts. well, i think again, the whole topic in terms of dealing with prescription drugs, whether it's opiates or tranquilizers, making sure we keep in mind inhalants because there are some therapeutic inhalants that people use for colds and other situations, and, of course, the topic of medical marijuana so that our kids don't start thinking that "oh gee, if i can-if a doctor prescribes it for chronic pain or a medical condition, i should run out and start doing marijuana." it's an important message. prescription drugs, as dr. condon said, and there's others, safe and effective when used as prescribed, and that is the phrase that we want to promote. thank you. thank you. and we want to remind our audience that september is national alcohol and drug addiction recovery month, a month where not only do we deal with wonderful events but we also deal with some of the issues that we talked about today, with the stigma associated with addiction and addiction treatment, so we want to encourage every

clark, when is a person categorized as homeless? well, the most important thing is to recognize that when a person lacks a permanent, fixed residence, they meet the category of homeless. now, there are a number of temporary arrangements that people have; for instance, it's estimated that roughly 1.6 million people are living in transitional or shelters, and they also meet the definition of homeless. so it's-we're looking for people who have permanent, fixed residence, and if you don't have that, then you're defined as homeless. and dr. milby, can you sort of take us through those categories a little bit? well, there're, there're lots of services that are provided for the homeless, from basic emergency shelters that just provide overnight stay, and people have to leave after-usually serve breakfast and then have to leave after. there are shelters that are more permanent and give people a chance to find more permanent housing. there are shelters also for women with children, for example, so whole families can stay in a sheltered situa

clark?ell, i think that's one of the things that we need to include. the word prevention, preventing homelessness or preventing some of the problems associated with homelessness, by addressing the homeless situation early. so, clearly, in order to prevent homelessness, you need to know the root cause, you need to be able to deal with the root cause. if the precipitating root cause has to do with substance use, then dealing with substance use would help prevent homelessness. if it is to deal with mental health issues, like depression, anxiety, trauma, then you want to deal with that. or, once a person becomes homeless, it's important to recognize that that person then is more vulnerable to substance use, more vulnerable to some psychological reactions. and part of the intervention, part of the services that richard talked about, is beginning to address some of the psychological issues and the substance use issues so that you don't develop more compound or complex mental health or co-occurring

clark was talking about is extremely high. just because it's a prescription drug doesn't mean that it's a safe drug. and i think where, you know, you add over-the-counter medications and other medicines or herbal medications to that, and we're seeing a very serious problem with prescription drug abuse. one of the things also that just was touched upon is that individuals at different age groups, and we know this from pharmacology, they metabolize the drugs, medications, drugs differently. and a dose that was tested in a young adult, let's say, for a particular purpose, may not be metabolized the same way by an elderly person, in fact, it's unlikely that it is. so the same dose may have a very different effect, and that's where this combination or drug-drug interaction actually comes in, and oftentimes we do see, unfortunately, the headlines when it's somebody who's a star or a celebrity, but that's where a lot of this is coming. i recall that a few years back, i would say around four or five years ago at csat we did do the rig

clark. what does culture sensitive mean? if someone is listening to this show, what does it mean to be culture sensitive? we've heard from our speakers addressing the cultural differences and the culture sensitivity means that the clinician particular or the recovery dynamic recognizes that a person's life experiences have to be taken into consideration, so the idioms, the beliefs, the perceptions, the mores, all of those things. so you may make an assumption based on your own culture that has nothing to do with this other person's life experiences. as was pointed out - food, for instance, is often a cultural dynamic and you can assume that here's a dish that everyone relates to and it actually may be so alien to the person that you're trying to help that they don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. so cultural competence is what we're trying to foster, recognizing the diversity of cultural experiences. and in the substance abuse arena, what we are trying to facilitate is that recovery and in the mental health are

clark was referring to with families also apply to young adults who are often on the streets. there isn't the same kind of safety net for a lot of those young adults, and so they tend to form peer support networks. but life on the streets is difficult, and i think they experience a lot of trauma, which often then also leads to substance use as a coping mechanism. robert, in terms of the oxford house, at this point does oxford house offer families an opportunity to come together, or is it mostly targeting a gender definition of male and female homes? yes, mostly they are targeting male or female homes. we do have a couple. there's not many. we want to get more. funding is always an issue in regards to women with children. we're actually also looking at the model of men with children, because there's a lot of men out there that have taken the responsibility for their children. and the oxford environment obviously offers a lot of support, and the few homes that we do have, the individuals that are there with their children thrive. they thrive tremendously, because they do have th

clark, i think it has to go beyond the recovery month. i mean, recovery month is fantastic and we certainly support it, but really what do ethnic, racial, and special populations need to be cognizant of that maybe they are not yet? well i think, as with any population, what we're trying to foster is this understanding that we're dealing with powerfully reinforcing psychoactive substances when we talk about the misuse of alcohol, when we talk about the use of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, or prescription drugs. and that the person who is at risk is anybody in the community. so from a prevention point of view, you understand that and from a recovery oriented point of view, it's not just the individual who is the beneficiary, that individual's family is very important. especially when you're dealing with racial and ethnic groups, family becomes very important. so the family benefits and then the community as a whole, as william was pointing out, the community not only contributes to the recovery of the individual who has the alcohol and

we have many schools in clark county. i visited one high school and was amazed with the principle at that school and the opportunities that empowerment gives and the flexibility that it gives. i think it should be expanded. that is something i have supported specifically within my plan. it will go to other schools in wausau county. we have manacles here. there are people waiting in line. i think we have to have open enrollment to give kids a choice. a charter school, a private school, or public school of their choice. >> the problem with empowerment is it does not empower people. and schools would be available to every school in the state of nevada. that is the difference. in wausau county, they call them but a different name, but there are a handful of them as well. that would allow every school in nevada to be on that so that the parent teacher and principals could get together and decide what they wanted the school to be. we need to give freedom to people at the committee level, and my plan would do that. it would full

clark, we were talking about, john was talking about complicating factors in terms of health challenges that may present at the time of intake for some special population individuals. can you address, continue to address that? well, one of the things that we at samhsa are stressing is that every person who has a mental health issue or substance use issue needs to also get a good physical health assessment. one of the things we know about the misuse of alcohol or drugs is that it does have an effect on the organic integrity of the body. so you may get liver disease, you may get gastritis, you may get heart disease, you're at greater risks for various infections like hepatitis c or hiv. and we want to make sure that anybody who is on the course of recovery has as much information as possible. there was one quote i read recently and a guy says, "i spent all this time using alcohol and drugs
