About TIPSS
Knowledge about ADDICTION is continually advancing and so is progress in Addiction prevention and treatment services. As we enter the new decade professionals in the field as well as professionals in related fields need to have a current understanding of substance use disorders and prevention and treatment services in order to strengthen their programs and prepare their organizations for success, significance and sustainability. The TIPSS conference is specially designed to interest a wide variety of professionals and meet their Addiction educational needs and licensing requirements.
Addiction 101: TIPSS offers a cross training track for professionals who are not directly working in the addiction field but need to know the basics of addiction. Attendees will leave with a broad understanding of substance use disorders and what is involved in preventing and treating the disease.
2020 Vision: Executive staff are responsible for leading and directing their agencies in a rapidly changing environment. To help agency executives learn more about the trends of the next decade, we have designed a track specifically for CEOs. Leaders from federal & state agencies will brief ED’s about strategic directions in the field. Ample time will be set aside during these sessions for a dialogue with presenters.
Required Trainings: TIPSS offers several required LCDC training topics with unique perspectives and fun formats.
Current Topics: Throughout the conference there are a range of sessions designed to enhance knowledge and provide practical information needed by today’s prevention and treatment professionals. Topics range from: Prevention Activities Cookbook; Medication Assisted Treatment; Working with the Media; Humor in the Workplace. These current topics will provide a varied and interesting conference experience.
Parity, Equity & Health Reforms: Those who treat substance use disorders (SUD) will be doing so in a vastly different benefit and health insurance environment where addictive disorders will be eligible for the same benefits as medical and surgical concerns. The release of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) Regulations in January, the passage of Healthcare Reform and the implementation a substance abuse benefit in Texas Medicaid will require publically funded providers to strategically look at adapting their organizations to work with health plans, self-insured employers, managed care organizations and provider networks.
