by Substance Abuse or Mental Health problems that reside

County, North Carolina where the organization 1st

 Issues Addressed = Substance use and mental health

 Objectives = Increase recovery rates using medication,
along with counseling, and by providing support.

2. AFFECTING
FACTORS
FOR
CLIENTS:
 Political = Society began viewing addiction as a
disease and that those suffering shouldn’t be
treated like criminals; Those who profit from
drug sales (pill mills, drug dealers) are who
should be treated like criminals. Then they
started focusing on improving treatment and
recovery centers.
 Economic = The costs of drugs, prevention, and
treatment. Poverty is another economic factor.
The organization will need to get as many
insurance companies as possible on board.
 Social = The environment, peer pressure,
relationships between family and friends,
family history, lack of support or involvement.
 Technology = Creating a website then
advancing to an app to find providers, schedule
or change appointments and send messages to
and between employees. Also, set up elehealth
services to provide even more access to clients.

3.  “health disparity
populations, such
as racial and ethnic
minorities, people
who are pregnant,
adolescents and
youth, LGBTQ+,
veterans,
socioeconomically
disadvantaged
populations, the
elderly, individuals
with disabilities,
are also
encouraged.”
 Anyone living in
poverty as well
These are the six traits or behaviors that
we found distinguish inclusive
• Visible Commitment: Holding others
accountable and making diversity a
personal priority.
• Humility: Being modest about
capabilities, admitting mistakes, and
creating space for others to contribute.
• Awareness of bias: Showing
awareness of personal blind spots plus
flaws in the system and ensure
meritocracy.
• Curiosity about others: Demonstrating
an open mind, deep curiosity for others,
not showing any judgment, and seeking
empathy to understand everyone.
• Cultural intelligence: Being attentive to
others’ cultures and adapting as well,
when it’s required.
• Effective collaboration: Empowering
others, paying attention to diversity in
thinking, psychological safety, and
focusing on team cohesion.

4.  “The Contingency Management
(CM) approach, sometimes also
referred to as “motivational
incentives,” is based on the
principle of operant conditioning –
that behavior is shaped by its
consequences. It is comprised of a
broad group of behavioral
interventions that provide or
withhold rewards and negative
consequences quickly in response
to at least one measurable
behavior (e.g., substance use as
measured by a drug test, also called
a toxicology screen).” (Recovery
Research Institute)
 The goal is to consistently act in
(i.e., to become empowered by
personal goals) even when
difficult or disruptive inner
Central Assumptions of Contingency Management:
• Based on operant conditioning, a behavioral approach to learning first
described by B.F. Skinner (which itself was based on the work of pioneering
behaviorist John Watson). Operant conditioning theorizes that behaviors are
shaped by their consequences; they will increase over time if followed by a
pleasant experience (reward) or decrease if followed by an unpleasant
experience (punishment).
• Addiction is maintained and reinforced by a combination of the rewarding
biochemical effects of the substance and environmental influences.
• Targeted behavioral change can be achieved through the systematic
application of immediate, and certain, rewards and consequences.
• Individuals will be able to initiate and sustain abstinence (or reductions in
substance use) as long as the rewards of abstinence are greater than the
neurobiologically-mediated rewarding effects of substance use. They will also
be able to initiate and sustain abstinence as long as the consequences of
substance use are greater than any perceived consequences of abstinence.

8.  "Use both quantitative and qualitativetechniques for a fuller understanding of" the impact that substances
have on clients and the benefits of recovery. Quantitative methods is a good starting point when beginning to
assess the organization. Quantitative rely on the questionnaires clients will complete during their initial
visit, administrative data, and statistical analyses. Qualitative method would be a good starting point when
beginning to assess. Some approaches of this method would be: observation, to observe the clients and their
behavior; employee and management meetings for discussing and developing policies and programs, also for
discussing requirements; in- depth interviews; and focus groups. The outcome measurement or objective being
used could be the drug screens that the patients get either during their consult or randomly. Measure not only
the outcomes, but also the processes that contribute to those outcomes. This is how you can continuously get
your organization to grow by doing routine assessments and then analyzing the results. It's important to do this
so you can be sure to provide clients with the best possible service.
