#153 CSAM 2023: Addiction Conference Overview
In the recent episode of ‘Captain Hooked: The Addiction Podcast’, addiction case manager Jean-Paul Michael and addiction psychiatrist Dr. Wip, share insights from their attendance at the CSAM 2023 conference held in Victoria, British Columbia. The episode unfolds the nuances of integrating peer support in addiction treatment, contrasting the traditional healthcare setups with innovative, peer-led organizations like the Umbrella Society. We speak about Alex Caudarella, of the CCSA, Chris Cull and his new series and the rest of the CSAM family.
The conversation broached the disparities in employment and support structures between hospital-employed individuals and those engaged through community organizations, underscoring the necessity for well-supported, sustainable peer support systems within the conventional healthcare framework.
Wip loves this conference. When he started doing addiction medicine, he felt like he was in a bubble. Providing psychiatric care to people who use drugs or addiction medicine care to psychiatric patients may seem like commonplace, but usually those two fields are siloed. CSAM connected Wip to a community of health care providers that were really trying to figure out how to best serve people who use drugs. For those of you in health care, it may be worth considering joining as well.
