Welcome to the
3rd Annual C.O.R.E
Clinical Overview of the Recovery Experience
July 19-22, 2015
C4 Recovery Solutions (C4) is honored to welcome you to the 3rd Annual Clinical Overview of the Recovery Experience (C.O.R.E.). The mission of C4, a non-profit organization, is to improve the accessibility and
quality of addiction treatment, and to promote long-term recovery solutions. C4 uses four Cs - Collaboration, Convening, Conferencing, and Consultation to achieve its goals. In addition to C.O.R.E, C4 operates
three other premier addiction conferences – the Cape Cod Symposium on Addictive Disorders (CCSAD),
the West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders (WCSAD) and the addiction eXecutives industry summit (aXis). We invite you to explore our array of educational opportunities.
Many conferences focus on science and practice but with an alarming and growing emphasis on drug
replacement therapies, recovery is increasingly playing a secondary role. While science and new clinical tools are important, they cannot replace the Twelve Steps as a key means of facilitating the personal
growth that is necessary for a sustainable and long-term recovery. C.O.R.E. highlights the critical importance of 12-Step processes and abstinence-based recovery and presents new options for productively
integrating useful clinical tools into a larger recovery-oriented treatment culture.
The Founding Patrons and C4 developed and continue to shape C.O.R.E. to be an opportunity for addiction professionals to advance their understanding of the principles behind abstinence-based recovery
practices as well as to be a forum to increase the collective understanding of recovery processes. Our goal
is to improve outcomes by better integrating abstinence-based practices and Twelve-Step principles into
therapeutic initiatives. Developed more than 75-years ago, the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous
have withstood the test of time and science to emerge as a primary foundation for recovery from both
alcoholism and drug addiction.
We offer a special debt of gratitude to our Founding Patrons as well as our Platinum, Gold, and Silver
Patrons, who with their generous support and underwriting allow us to continue to provide you with the
best return on your investment of time, energy, and money.

#100. Modified Interpersonal Group Psychotherapy and Recovery - Day 1 (Must attend Day 2)
Jeff Georgi, M.Div., LSAS, LPC, CCS, CGP
Level of Instruction: Intermediate/Advanced
This two-day workshop is designed for clinicians who have had group experience or group therapy training. A
framework for understanding addiction will be provided through the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual-Experiential
Model (BPSSEM). This theoretical base will be the foundation for utilizing the Modified Interpersonal Group
Psychotherapy Model (MIGP) which focuses on the advancement of group skills, techniques and interventions
specific to the treatment of clients diagnosed with a substance use disorder. It is important to remember the
obvious: families are groups. Many of the skills reviewed will be directly transferable to family work.
Bridging group treatment to recovery, participants will recognize the potency of group and understand why the
“group experience” in AA, NA and Al-Anon, although not clinical, is essential to sustained recovery. During the
workshop, there will be a brief review of the research that validates the significance of 12-step involvement.
Active involvement in this experiential workshop is important if participants are to fully benefit from the time
spent together.

#250. It Takes a Family: A Cooperative Approach to Lasting Sobriety
Debra Jay
Level of Instruction: Intermediate
While most alcoholics and addicts coming out of treatment have a recovery plan, families are mostly left out
of the equation when addressing the chronic nature of addiction. Structured Family Recovery™ starts with a
family and ends with a family recovery team. It goes beyond patient-centered treatment to family-centered
recovery. This approach is inspired by the success of Physician Health Programs in preventing relapse, but built
for families. Structured Family Recovery™ is about addiction and family and lasting sobriety, and ultimately,
about working together to find that place where everyone is okay and safe and happy.
Monday Early Afternoon Workshops: 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM
#251. Current Trends in Addiction Medicine: The Times They Are A-Changin’
Chapman Sledge, MD | e Supported by Cumberland Heights
Level of Instruction: All
Addiction Medicine is a medical specialty in a state of transformation. Patterns of substance use are rapidly
changing. Marijuana use has become mainstream with the changing legal climate. Access to prescription stimulants is increasing dramatically. The opioid epidemic continues to evolve, and death from overdose has established addiction as more deadly than ever. Just as our patients presenting for treatment are evolving, so is the
treatment that is rendered. Medication assisted treatment delivered in the physician office is an increasingly
common scenario. Pharmacotherapy is often delivered in lieu of traditional psychosocial interventions and conventional abstinence based residential treatment. Diversion and abuse of buprenorphine must be monitored. It
is critical that adequate outcome studies be carried out to dictate the direction treatment in the future.
#252. Exploring Challenges in Treating Older Adults: From Engagement to Outcomes
J. John Dyben, DHSc, CAP, CMHP & Bob Lynn, EdD, LPC | e Supported by Hanley Center
Level of Instruction: All
This workshop will discuss the challenges in treating older adults for substance related disorders from intervention to continuing care. We will explore trends in aging, the unique effects of drugs on the aging body, related comorbidities, and specific treatment needs of older adults who require clinical or medical intervention
for any type of substance abuse or addiction. Issues related to family and social context will also be addressed.
The need to provide outcome and research supported treatment will underscore the entire presentation.
Who Should Attend?
Physicians, Psychologists, Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists, Alcohol and
Drug Counselors, Mental Health Counselors, Rehabilitation Counselors, Educators,
Collegiate Recovery and Professional Monitoring Organizations. Anyone whose life has
been touched by the addictive process.

#275. Dual Diagnosis, Co-Morbidities & Addiction
P. Bradley Hall, MD, DABAM, FASAM, MROCC, BRI-I
Level of Instruction: Intermediate
This presentation is about addiction, dual diagnosis and co-morbid issues relative to the addicted patient;
including statistics of the general population and some related to WV physician health program. Integration
with 12-step is also discussed.
#276. Adolesent Spirituality and the 12 Steps
Patrick Hawkins, LAC | e Supported by Wilderness Treatment Center
Level of Instruction: All
Adolescence and spirituality are not often found in the same sentence. This practice can cause resistance
or roadblocks to applying spiritual principles when addressing substance use problems with adolescents.
Because of this, there is a perception that adolescents can experience difficulty with the 12 steps due to their
spiritual nature. AA describes a 3 fold nature to the disease of addiction (physical, mental and spiritual). The
mental part gets a lot of attention, the physical even more but the spiritual little. This workshop will examine
the spiritual nature of addictive using both on a mystic and behavioral level. By looking at how addictive using
fulfills spiritual needs and then contrasting it with the experiences of practicing the 12 steps, an opening is
created for the application of them for the client.
Monday Evening Plenary: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
#299. The Bridge From Treatment To Recovery

#300. The Protective Wall of Human Community: The Role and Science of Recovery Mutual and 12-step
based Treatments
John Kelly, PhD
Level of Instruction: All
Addiction has long been conceived of as a chronic illness that requires ongoing monitoring and management
over the long-term. Alcoholics Anonymous and similar 12-step organizations provide ongoing recovery support for free in the community, but determining their exact clinical benefit has remained somewhat elusive.
What can science tell us about the efficacy of these groups and of the formal treatments designed to facilitate
patients’ involvement with them? This workshop reviews the empirical evidence for the effectiveness and
cost-effectiveness of AA and other 12-step groups, including the results from the latest randomized controlled
trials of Twelve-Step Facilitation (TSF) interventions. Details about how to implement these empirically-supported interventions to enhance patients’ outcomes will be discussed.

#310. Social Model of Recovery from Philosophy to Practice
Marsha Stone, JD, LCDC, Jason Howell MBA, PRS, & Greg Fabry, LCDCi | e Supported by Benchmark Recovery
Center
Level of Instruction: All
As healthcare reform unfolds and addiction treatment takes its place within a larger recovery-oriented system
of care, the Social Model of Recovery is being revisited as a means of elevating and integrating peer recovery
support and philosophies. From sober homes to Therapeutic Communities, the Social Model of Recovery is
the foundation of all forms of recovery residences and is the precursor of addiction treatment. In addition to
the six (6) domains of the Social Model Recovery Philosophy Scale being presented, real world examples of
how the social model is put into practice will be discussed.
#311. Spirituality in Addiction Treatment - A Physicians Perspective
Roy Smith, MD, FAAFP, DABAM | e Supported by Pavillon
Level of Instruction: Introductory/Intermediate
God Grant Me The Serenity...The importance of incorporating spirituality into the addiction recovery process is
generally accepted in the treatment community, but what does that mean, and how important is it, really? We
will begin with an extensive literature review, including peer reviewed, medical, scientific and psychological journals, and look at the research and anecdotal evidence regarding the role of spirituality. We will then explore how
integrated spirituality into specific treatment plans can work, and what practical tools may be available.

#350. The Serious Side of Making Friends and Having Fun: New Data Links Sober
Outcomes with Peer Support and Recreation in Rehab
Bob Ferguson | e Supported by Jaywalker Lodge
Level of Instruction: All
Groundbreaking new research into Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) reveals that building social
networks and peer support—i.e. “having fun” and “making friends” in early recovery—are key predictors of
long-term sober outcomes for young adult males in residential treatment for addiction. The Jaywalker outcomes study is currently tracking 150 clients for an 18-month period during and after their 90-day residential
treatment episode. The project is being led and research data is being compiled by Denver-based OMNI, an
independent evaluator of addiction treatment providers and prevention agencies throughout the country. The
scope of the research and the data collection processes have been validated by the Institutional Review Board
(IRB), which provides ethical oversight for behavioral health research.
Tuesday Early Afternoon Workshops: 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM
#351. Marijuana Use, Attachment Style, and Effective Treatment Planning
John O’Neill, LCSW, LCDC, CAS, CART | e Supported by The Menninger Clinic
Level of Instruction: Intermediate/Advanced
This workshop will provide the framework for understanding the unique attachment styles of marijuana users
in order to effectively develop treatment plans. Addiction professionals are challenged by shifting attitudes
about marijuana that often lead to difficulties engaging them in recovery efforts. Understanding the unique
attachment style of marijuana users can assist the clinician with developing a tailored plan for each unique client. The workshop will provide foundational research on attachment and substance use, explore the current
challenges facing addiction professionals working with marijuana users, and provide assistance in developing
effective treatment plans.

#352. Family Education and Support When a Family Member has a Co-Occurring Mental Illness and
Substance Use Disorder
Lindy Fox Smith, LADC | e Supported by WestBridge Community Services
Level of Instruction: Introductory/Intermediate
This workshop will describe an evidence-based model of family psycho-education where a family member has
a co-occurring disorder. It will review the principles of psycho-education and describe the other skills necessary for the intervention such as motivational strategies, skills training, CBT, and taking a stage-wise approach
with the family. The use of educational handouts will be presented and the importance of sticking to the session format will be described. Goals and homework will be discussed at the end of the session.
Afternoon Break in the Exhibit Hall: 3:15 PM – 4:00 PM
Tuesday Late Afternoon Workshops: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
#375. Relationship Between Substance Addiction and Intimate Partner Violence
Richard Soper, MD
Level of Instruction: All
In the USA nearly one in four women report experiencing violence by a current or former companion,spouse,
partner at some point in their life and 15.5 million children live in families in which inintimate partner violence
(IPV) occurrred at least once in the past year. Substance use disorders co-occur in 40-60% of intimate partner
violence incidents across various studies. Substance use plays a facilitative role in IPV by precipitating or exacerbating violence. Case discussions and skill-building execrices will be used to increase knowledge, confidence
and competence of attendees ability to identify and intervene on IPV. Attendees will acquire practical tools to
identify past and current IPV, make brief interventions to assist IPV victims and offer strategies to refer victims
for evaluation, treatment and advocacy.
#376. Evaluation of “In Vivo” Treatment for Emerging Adults
Lori Holleran Steiker, MSW, ACSW, PhD & Michael Neatherton | e Supported by Northbound Treatment
Services
Level of Instruction: Intermediate
While there is a growing body of literature on the substance use and treatment of emerging adults, there is a
dearth of meaningful and definitive data regarding the viability of approaches. Models have for too long focused on intensive acute care for addiction which is a chronic disease and have measured recovery in terms of
30/60/90 day paradigms rather than by examining recovery capital in the first year sober. This study examines
“in vivo” individualized care which blur lines between treatment and everyday life. Clients learn the realities
of sober living rather than conceptualizations as passive recipients of information-only models. This study
assesses acquisition of the necessary tools to achieve the first year of sobriety. This case study uses qualitative
and empirical data to view a unique treatment culture. Organizational culture measures are also discussed
assessing the impact of the model’s intentional transformational leadership.
CORE Program Goals & Objectives
Goals – to increase participants’ awareness, knowledge and skills related to effective substance use or
abuse prevention, treatment and recovery, program administration and system development with an
emphasis on 12 step recovery.
Objectives - Participants will be able to: apply clinical skills from a broad range of professional core
functions including assessment and therapeutic approaches; cite advances in the addiction field
resulting from research and practice innovations; and discuss key issues within the addiction field.
Satisfactory Completion
In order to receive a continuing education certificate, the following must be met: 1) registration fee must be paid;
2) each session attended must be attended in its entirety and 3) an attendance/evaluation form must be completed
within 90 days of the conference. Participants not fulfilling these requirements will not receive a certificate. Failure to

#401. Avoiding the Black Hole of Family Systems: Disrupting the Family Dynamics Without Getting
Sucked Into the Sickness
Angie Buja, LPC-S & Heidi Smith, MA, LPC | e Supported by Burning Tree Recovery Ranch
Level of Instruction: Advanced
Treatment professionals are well educated on the family disease of addiction, but aren’t always prepared for
what is involved in actually disrupting the family sickness. This can create difficulties for us as professionals as
we are challenged to own and understand our own blind spots and confront our own counter-transference.
This workshop will discuss the value of disrupting the family system and the unique challenges and techniques involved. We will review vignettes, utilize film clips and visual exercises, and demonstrate experiential
exercises. This workshop will leave you with a revitalized perspective on yourself and how you work with the
family members of addicted individuals.

#410. A “Novel” Spiritual Approach to Removing Barriers to Long Term Recovery
Gregory K Gable, PsyD & Sharon Matthew, MA, LPC, ACRPS, CCS, CSAT, CMAT | e Supported by Caron
Foundation
Level of Instruction: Intermediate/Advanced
This session will present a 20 plus year experience of performing a structured group process utilizing some of
the elements of the fourth step as outlined in the Textbook of Alcoholics Anonymous as a means that has not
only been helpful in teaching patients the value of steps, but a methodology that provides pertinent clinical
data to help identify issues that would be barriers to ongoing spiritual recovery and help formulate treatment planning. This group is not meant to constitute a complete fourth step or to replace work eventually
done with a sponsor, rather
it is a way to use the format
of 4th step work in a group
therapeutic process. In our
experience this approach has
provided useful therapeutic
tool for the therapist and a
skill set that the patient can
use to support recovery. This
model has been used at Caron
with two populations: Men’s
and Women’s Extended Care
Programs. We will present
information on the experience of using this therapeutic
model in both settings over
the past several years.

Earl Hightower, For over 30 years, Earl Hightower has worked on the front lines of addiction and
recovery. The unique perspective that only behavioral health intervention work can offer caused Earl
to recognize that the greatest gap in addiction services was during the first 60 days following residential
treatment. In other words, people were not making it across The Bridge From Treatment To Recovery©.
They were relapsing, post-treatment, before they had a chance to firmly connect themselves to their
recovery communities. As a result, the focus of Earl’s work has been to develop systems and strategies
that support our clients in their goal of achieving a lasting connection to recovery.
Earl’s ever-expanding business effort includes Recovery Companion Services, a company that provides
highly trained men and women whose sole purpose is to assist our clients in their transition into recovery.
The most recent of Earl’s endeavors is Recovery Monitoring Services. This company acts as a longer-range
support service to bring an added layer of structure as the higher levels of care are completed so that the
client continues to feel supported and connected into a successful sober life.
