Frequently asked questions about the marchman actMrsunny4
Families of individuals with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders ask many questions about the Marchman Act. The following are frequently asked questions we receive in our office and the responses.
Q- Does the Marchman Act work? I have heard people in recovery programs and on daytime television remark that people do not get clean and sober until they really want to. What’s the deal?
This document provides an overview of addiction as a disease. It defines addiction and alcoholism, and examines addiction through the framework of the causal disease model. Addiction is characterized by craving, loss of control, tolerance, withdrawal, and compulsion. Compliance and relapse rates for various addictions are similar to chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension. The development of alcoholism involves priming, early experimentation, and learning how to drink. Untreated addiction stems from mental obsession, fear, and loneliness. AA offers a counterintuitive model for intervention based on attending meetings, finding a sponsor, and helping other addicts.
The document discusses various drugs including cocaine, opiates, and marijuana. It provides information on their mechanisms of action in the brain and possible signs and symptoms of use. It also describes a case study of a 33-year-old man found unconscious who was given dextrose and naloxone by paramedics and showed improved vital signs at the hospital. Based on his symptoms, it is suspected he had used cocaine or opiates. The document discusses how these drugs act on the brain's reward pathway similarly to stimulate dopamine and cause addiction.
Developed a Business Plan as a team to secure funding for a new venture on “Automobile Alcohol Detection System” to reduce Singapore‘s drink-and-drive accident rate.
This document discusses how drugs and alcohol work in the brain by interacting with neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It explains that drugs can mimic neurotransmitters, stimulate their release, or prevent their reuptake. While drugs may temporarily change mood or perception, they can also cause long-term brain damage and addiction. However, natural activities like exercise, meditation, helping others, and hobbies can also elevate mood through neurotransmitters without harm. Making natural highs a regular part of life may help reduce reliance on drugs and alcohol for their perceived benefits.

This document summarizes a presentation on evaluating state projects funded by SAMHSA to integrate prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) reports with electronic health records and pharmacy software. It outlines the goals of integrating PDMP data in a more user-friendly way and describes challenges like timeliness, completeness, and accessibility of PDMP data. It then provides an overview of SAMHSA's PDMP integration program, and reviews the evaluation objectives, progress, preliminary findings, and recommendations for improving PDMP integration and use. The presentation aims to help optimize clinical use of PDMPs through guidelines and training.
This document summarizes a presentation on using prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) as clinical decision support tools. It discusses a study examining how prescribers in Oregon currently use PDMP data in patient care. The study found that prescribers have inconsistent practices around routinely checking the PDMP, with some only checking if red flags appear. It also found that prescribers communicate PDMP information to patients in different ways, from openly discussing results to avoiding discussion. The study aims to provide recommendations to optimize PDMP use through clinical guidelines and training.
The NPA's new report, Face to Face, brings together true life stories about the benefits of accessible, locally based healthcare, and shows the importance of face to face relationships between patients and health professionals. It's a reminder that the human touch matters in healthcare.

The document discusses issues related to substance abuse among teens. It notes that teens who abuse drugs and alcohol are more likely to engage in criminal behavior and end up in the juvenile justice system. Four out of five teens in the justice system have substance abuse problems. Treatment is more effective and cheaper than incarceration, but many teens do not receive treatment. Effective treatment requires a coordinated, long-term, family-focused approach addressing multiple needs.
Opioid Awareness - Report Review: The Mayor's Task Force to Combat the Opioid...Office of HIV Planning
The document summarizes a report by the Mayor's Task Force to Combat the Opioid Epidemic in Philadelphia. It finds that prescription opioid sales doubled from 2000-2012, fueling high rates of opioid use, overdoses, and deaths. The Task Force made recommendations in areas of prevention, treatment, overdose prevention, and criminal justice system involvement. Key recommendations included expanding access to medication-assisted treatment, naloxone distribution, and treatment services in prisons. The report calls for increased monitoring and evaluation to assess progress combating the epidemic.
Prescription Pain Killers,The Latest Threat to Child WelfareWill Jones
1) The opioid epidemic puts many children at risk of abuse and neglect as parents struggling with addiction may neglect their children or expose them to dangerous situations. The number of children being removed from homes due to parental drug abuse has increased significantly in many states.
2) Prescription drug monitoring programs collect data on opioid prescriptions but it is often not used to its full potential. Linking this prescription data to child welfare records through analytics could help caseworkers identify at-risk children and families earlier.
3) Specific analytics approaches discussed include alerts when a prescription is written for a child in state custody, alerts when a parent is visiting multiple doctors and pharmacies to obtain drugs, and risk scoring to predict higher risk families

Customer insight work done in Lewisham as part of the Total Place initiative has provided valuable information to improve public services. For offender management, ethnographies and interviews with offenders found post-release support is critical but often lacking. For worklessness, case studies showed a lack of coordinated support and focus only on job skills rather than wider barriers. Recommendations include a common offender assessment database, aligning employment resources locally, and individual budgets for those furthest from the job market. Continuing customer insight will be important to further improve services over the long term.
The document discusses a project between several local authorities in the West Midlands region of the UK to improve services provided to businesses.

This document summarizes a project aimed at improving services for low-income families with young children across Greater Manchester. The project objectives are to develop customer insight through data analysis and citizen engagement to improve uptake of available benefits and services. Through workshops, common needs were identified around financial support, access to information/advice, parenting/childcare support, and ensuring basic needs like nutrition and education are met. The project aims to better understand customers' service journeys to identify gaps and efficiencies to empower citizens and enhance outcomes.
This document discusses using customer insight and a "Total Place" approach to improve public services. It notes that local authorities currently collect a lot of customer data but use it within silos. A Total Place approach looks at customer needs holistically across agencies to design more efficient, effective services. Pilots found duplication between agencies and opportunities to streamline and better target services based on customer insights into their actual experiences. The document advocates further using and sharing customer insights to continuously redesign services around citizen needs.

19. Job Centre – didnt help Summerhill terrace – RRAT dont treat individual Moving from JSA to ESA can be frustrating Methadone Came out of DIP – not enough support DIP East – no follow up around relapse control Government owned services are less capable Chest infection – got codeine and started to seek drugs again Waiting to go to Mum+Baby rehab – delayed by child+fam Doctors dont listen and seem to want control. They are happy to keep you on script for as long as possible Getting back with other users Aftercare coming out of prison was poor. Worked hard for 3.5yrs, but no support Rehab was forced on me – I wasn’t ready for it Doctors don’t want to cut down meths Found other people using drugs (went looking for them) Waiting time after DIP is too long Other things other than methadone (morphine, pills/amps, Df118s) Too much free money – unlikely to get job that will pay enough to make it worthwhile Give a straight detox in prison Swansell – drug worker changed, things went downhill Prison was too easy – no deterrent, not enough help from CARAT team Prison – lack of help from drug services, no rehab Social services – tried to take kids and then dropped me No dry houses for women Penalised if you have kids Workers in the system get moved around – not enough professionalism DRUGS – What hindered?

Waiting for rehab – not enough space Aftercare coming out of prison was poor. Worked hard for 3.5yrs, but no support Flexibility in prison ?- support after More help coming out of DIP Waiting – rehab, mother/baby and after DIP Changed worker Codeine for chest Relats and frustrations with benefits Govt owned services less good What’s my incentive? RRAT not individual Not ready for rehab Social services and families
