Welcome to the 2014 LASACT Conference! This is our 37th annual conference!
We’re so glad you’re here with us in New Orleans for what we hope to be our
best conference ever. We’ve packed the conference with rousing keynotes and
thought-provoking workshops.You’ll also have a chance to meet, network, and
socialize with other professionals throughout the state and nation.
Hundreds of us have converged in New Orleans with unique backgrounds and
different and varied experiences. Despite these differences, we can all certainly
agree that our primary goal is to continue to improve our skills and provide
our clients the highest level of care possible. Our theme this year is “Behavioral
Health and Trauma.”
During the most recent years, we have undergone tremendous changes in our state. These changes have
unfortunately been very hard for smaller providers. Many of them are no longer with us. One thing that I, as
your President, have really worked toward this year is to move our organization to not only be a voice for
addiction and prevention professionals, but also for providers from around the state.
The idea is that we could encourage providers to join as organizational members. With that membership, we
could organize to have regular quarterly organizational member meetings to encourage providers to dialog
and unify in their concerns. Lobbyists for smaller providers are just not affordable. However, as a united
group with a common goal, we could pool our resources to obtain a lobbyist who would work for all providers in the state.
We could also have provider workshops at the annual LASACT Conference and, perhaps during our
luncheon, we could allow providers to share a bit about their organization. These are all just ideas, but their
implementation is ultimately up to the Board and you, as the members of this organization. Just as providers
have had to change to remain viable, so must LASACT. I will be rotating out as your President; I shall pass
these ideas to the new leadership and continue to work with the Board to turn them into reality.
The LASACT 2014 committee designed the conference to have something for everyone. Whether you are
just starting out or are a seasoned professional, soak up the keynotes, roll up your sleeves at the workshops,
but don’t forget to save a little energy to have fun in New Orleans, and take a moment to thank our host the
New Orleans Addiction Professional Association (NOAPA).
Respectfully,
David A. Brocato, LAC, CCS

Biography
Dr. Arnold H. James is a Louisiana licensed Clinical Psychologist. He received his education from The University of
South Carolina. He received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Public Health in Health Education and
Promotion, and his Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical-Community Psychology. He was affiliated with the Tulane School of

mental disorders. He has worked as an inpatient and outpatient psychotherapist, in and around the New Orleans Metro
area, employing brief and long-term psychotherapy modalities. Currently, he is treating outpatients in a private practice.
These patients have a wide range in age, and severity of diagnostic presentation. Dr. James has completed a postdoctoral
fellowship in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from the New Orleans-Birmingham Psychoanalytic Institute, and was awarded
DIPLOMATE status in the International Academy of Behavior Medicine, Counseling and Psychotherapy in Psychotherapy.
Dr. James’ leading-edge strength is his curious nature, as well as his ability to obtain new information and handle incomplete
data sets. Confident in his ability, knowledge and training, Dr. James feels it is not necessary to be overly competitive
professionally; rather, it is more important that he is current with the latest studies and can adequately take care of his patients.
Caring and empathetic, Dr. James believes one of his key strengths is his multicultural sensitivity in which he is able to quickly
disarm and build rapport with his patients. It is easy for him to connect with people and create meaningful relationships.
Presentation Summary
Ethics are a crucial aspect of any effective therapeutic interaction. They set the structure for the relationship and provide a
consistent framework for the therapy process. Some counselors adhere to very clear boundaries. Some counselors do not.
Most counselors would agree that it is unethical, for example, to have sex with a patient because it is an exploitation of the
therapeutic alliance and does harm to the patient. A minority of counselors do not.
While this situation is clearly problematic, there are numerous situations where the ethical responsibilities are not so clear.
These situations fall outside of the formal code of ethics and lie instead in an ambiguous gray area. Today we want to remind
ourselves of our Louisiana Code of Ethics and commit to “Coloring Inside the Lines”.
For the counselor who struggles to “stay inside the lines“, the question to keep in mind is “Does this serve the client’s
therapeutic interests?” As counselors, we need to keep regular inventory of our own conflicts and vulnerabilities (“blind
spots”). Self-care will help us stay tune to maintaining clear ethical boundaries and therapeutic alliances.

Alliance of Concerned Citizens (JPACC), the Jefferson Parish Human Services Authority (JPHSA) and the Louisiana Office
of Behavioral Health. These examples discussed by the panelists aim to help Louisiana coalitions build and strengthen their
respective capacity to create safe, healthy and drug-free communities by illustrating how coalitions can collaborate with their
LGE’s.
Coalitions, as defined by the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America, are a formal arrangement for collaboration
among groups or sectors of a community in which each group retains its identity but all agree to work together toward the
common goal of a safe, healthy and drug-free community. But what does “work together “look like? The answer varies
from community to community. The way sectors collaborate in your community may look different than the collaborations
of sectors in your neighboring community. In Jefferson Parish, the Jefferson Parish Alliance of Concerned Citizens
(JPACC) convenes multiple sectors of the community as it works towards its mission of preventing youth substance use by
implementing multiple strategies focused on environmental change. The Jefferson Parish Human Services Authority (JPHSA)
represents the healthcare professional sector of the community in JPACC and is the LGE for the parish.

children. Her interest in the theatre has been consistent through the years, having played numerous roles in community theatre.
Jean not only believes that getting kids involved in the arts is a great prevention tool because the skills last a lifetime, but that
using theatre and the arts to emphasize classroom and community messages is a natural way to compete with all the negative
marketing that is a part of our lives today. Jean is married to Jerry and has three children Jason, Josh, and Jaimee. She is now

graduation Amanda dove headfirst into the field of addictions, specifically treatment of opiate addictions using methadone
maintenance. Starting as a Substance Abuse Counselor at Behavioral Health Group in in March 2012, Amanda found herself

Addiction is a chronic, progressive, medical and psychological disease. As a result, treatment requires a multi-faceted, holistic
approach. True recovery requires a lifelong commitment to combat relapse and the harmful effects of chemical dependency.
Behavioral Health Group will share their two-pronged approach to treating patients with opiate addictions: medication
management using methadone in conjunction with behavioral therapy and referral services. Methadone maintenance is
considered the “gold standard” for opioid addiction and this presentation will shed light on the many misconceptions
associated with methadone maintenance treatment.

• LASACT 2014
Presentation Summary
The interfacing of religion and spirituality can create ethical dilemmas. To be congruent, counselors must face, deal with and
solve these dilemmas. If this is not done, the counselor will not be able to model congruence for clients, deal with diverse
belief systems and may come into conflict with professional codes of ethics. Examples of real life ethical dilemmas will be
shown, a model to solve these dilemmas will be presented, and attempts to bring resolutions on a behavioral level will be
examined.

Presentation Summary
Addiction is a chronic relapsing disease of rewards in the brain. Some people can get sober without any help, many people
respond well to 12-step treatment and counseling, but some may need more intervention. More than twenty years of scientific
study have contributed to a wealth of successful medication therapies for addiction treatment. Historically, the addiction
recovery community has stigmatized medication use by individuals trying to get sober. We now know that there are genetic and
biological needs for medications at certain times. Medications can also augment traditional recovery models, helping people
stay sober longer, and improve quality of life.

safeTALK teaches participants to recognize and engage persons who might be having thoughts of suicide and to connect
them with community resources trained in suicide intervention. safeTALK stresses safety while challenging taboos that
inhibit open talk about suicide. The safeTALK learning process is highly structured, providing graduated exposure to practice
actions. The program is designed to help participants monitor the effect of false societal beliefs that can cause otherwise
caring and helpful people to miss, dismiss, or avoid suicide alerts and to practice the TALK step actions to move past these
three barriers. Video scenarios are strategically used through the training to provide experiential referents for the participants.
Discussion and practice help stimulate learning.

Presentation Summary
Staff wellness is an often-overlooked aspect of trauma-informed care. Secondary Trauma refers to trauma-related stress
reactions and symptoms similar to those experienced by the client (e.g., nightmares, emotional numbing). Secondary trauma
can occur among behavioral health service providers across all settings and among all professionals who provide services to
those who have experienced trauma (e.g., healthcare providers, peer counselors, first responders, clergy, and intake workers).
This presentation will focus on ways in which Trauma-informed organizations, supervisors and mentors can help establish and
provide ongoing support to promote Trauma-informed care (TIC) and implement processes that reinforce the safety of the
staff. (http://store.samhsa.gov/product/TIP-57-Trauma-Informed-Care-in-Behavioral-Health-Services/SMA14-4816)

worker at Metropolitan Human Services District in New Orleans.
Presentation Summary
The problem in behavioral health is the persons who receive services (substance use and mental health) do not usually tell
their medical doctor that they are receiving psychiatric services. There are psychiatric medications that are linked to diabetes
and weight gain. If the medical doctor does not know the person is being treated for a behavioral health concern, that doctor
may prescribe medication that will not work well with his/her psychiatric medication. The person may have a terminal illness
diagnosis and the depression may increase in that person. The psychiatrist is unaware of the diagnosis. The intent of any
health agency is to provide holistic treatment. The body and the mind work together.
