2019 Oregon Conference on Opioids + Other Drugs, Pain + Addiction Treatment | 25
Session Locations + map Welcome TO THE 2019 OREGON CONFERENCE ON OPIOIDS
+ OTHER DRUGS, PAIN + ADDICTION TREATMENT
Oregon has made important progress in addressing opioids, pain and addiction treatment. We have successfully
reduced the flood of prescribed opioids that inundated our communities. Opioid prescribing is down for all age groups
since January 2016 and drug overdose hospitalizations and drug overdose deaths due to prescription opioids are
declining. We have gone from ranking first in the non-medical use of opioids in the nation in 2010-2011 to sixth
(2013-2014), however, we still have work to do.
Lo
We are witnessing an alarming rise in the deaths of despair nationwide. The number of suicides, overdoses, and

diseases caused by substance use disorder is devastating families and communities. According to the Centers for
sc ms
Disease Control, life expectancy for Americans dropped once again in 2017, as the rates of fatal opioid overdoses

and suicides continued to climb.
tes
The Riverhouse These deaths of despair are not a singular crisis but a syndemic. To tackle this problem, we must address the social
context of substance use disorder, pain and suffering as well as advancing evidence-based guidelines and treatment.
The current spotlight on the opioid crisis presents an opportunity to work across the multiple systems that touch the
s 97
lives of those impacted by pain and substance use disorder and improve the effectiveness and quality of care.

safer care and supports for people struggling with pain and substance use disorder.
With help from lots of folks, last year’s inaugural conference was a tremendous success. We convened over 450
committed people from across Oregon –across the complex landscape of our crisis of opioids and other drugs
— to share and develop innovative ideas for making change in Oregon.
Cascade Cascade This year’s conference features dynamic national and local speakers, including a keynote address from David Sheff,
B G author of the bestselling novel and movie, “Beautiful Boy”. In his novel, Mr. Sheff shares his son Nic and the Sheff
family’s struggle with substance use disorder. David’s family experience sets the tone and explores the urgent need for
making changes that better serve our communities. The conference will feature tribal workshops, launch a training on
the Art of Compassionate Tapering, and law enforcement efforts to work with health systems to introduce Medication
Assisted Therapies in jails and prisons.

public health, law enforcement, the treatment and recovery community and others. We also extend our appreciation
and gratitude to our local partners including the Central Oregon Health Council, St. Charles Health System, Deschutes
County Public Health, and Mosaic Medical. We’d like to recognize and thank Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Pain
Guidance for their leadership and continued support of Lines for Life’s efforts to reduce substance abuse statewide.
Lastly, we acknowledge our friend and colleague Lauren Miller. Lauren was a smart, fierce, and incredibly talented event
Lobby coordinator at Lines for Life. She was instrumental to the success of last year’s conference. Before she unexpectedly
passed away in March, Lauren spent months working tirelessly to set us up for another successful event.
Thank you, Lauren.
We thank you for joining us today. Together, we will move Oregon from crisis to recovery.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Oregon Conference on Opioids + Other Drugs, Pain + Addiction Treatment begins _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
with preconference workshops on Wednesday, May 29, 2019 (pg 7-8). These workshops provide clinicians _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
an opportunity for skill building and experiential learning. This includes learning to use buprenorphine to
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
treat both Opioid Use Disorder and CPOD Chronic Persistent Opioid Dependency, applying compassionate
motivational tools and strategies for guiding patient behaviors, gaining a better understanding of how to treat _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mental Health disorders co-occurring with pain and many other skills essential to delivering best practice _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
care for pain and substance use disorder.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We begin the conference on Wednesday afternoon, May 29, 2019 after the conclusion of the preconference _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
workshops. The conference continues with a keynote address from David Sheff on Thursday, May 30, 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
and ends the morning of Friday, May 31, 2019.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We kick things off by exploring the scope of the problem, our successes and challenges and what lies ahead. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
General sessions include riveting speakers and didactic discussions on areas of disagreement to foster

learning and dynamic conversation.

Breakout session presentations were selected from submissions generated through a call for proposals _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
process and organized by concepts instead of tracks (e.g.; healthcare, law enforcement, etc.).
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This year’s agenda aspires to foster collaboration and break down silos that create fragmentation and _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
impede communication across systems. Tracks drive participants to choose a session based on scope of _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
practice and discourage collaborative discussion between different groups.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Breakout session speakers will provide dynamic, thought-providing presentations based on the concepts _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
rooted in current best practice, emerging evidence and Oregon’s comprehensive approach to reduce harms _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
from opioids and other drugs including:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• We Can Do This! Celebrating success and leaning into opportunities _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
•S ustaining Communities: Embracing the full spectrum of healing: from harm reduction _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
to treatment and long-term recovery
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
• Promoting Prevention: Elevating upstream investments to help Oregon thrive
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We end with a call to action to create partnerships for success. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Together, we will move Oregon from crisis to recovery.
