Join us as we delve into a pre-conference discussion on the intriguing topic of involuntary addiction care, a focal point of an upcoming symposium at the CSAM-SMCA 2023 Scientific Conference in Victoria, BC. I will be in discussion with Dr. Wip, reflecting on the anticipated dialogues at the conference where I will serve as the moderator of the symposium. The symposium will feature esteemed participants, Dr. Dave Crockford and Dr. Rob Tanguay, who will explore the ethical and practical dimensions of involuntary addiction care. Our podcast aims to set the stage for the conference, offering a glimpse into the vital discussions expected to unfold. We'll touch on our hopes for the symposium, the importance of dialogues surrounding involuntary care in addiction medicine, and the impact it has on the broader community. We extend our gratitude to Nicole Bootsman, the dedicated pharmacist behind the organization of this symposium, as well as the co-chairperson of the conference for creating a conducive platform for such crucial discussions in addiction medicine. This episode is a precursor to the in-depth explorations awaiting attendees at the CSAM-SMCA 2023, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of involuntary addiction care in modern healthcare settings. https://csamconference.org/ Table of Contents 00:00:15 Introduction to the Symposium and Moderation Role 00:00:43 Discussion on Involuntary Care Symposium 00:02:16 Defining Involuntary Treatment and Scope 00:04:05 Mention of Legal System and Provincial Mental Health Acts 00:05:17 Discussion on Interpretation and Resource Allocation 00:07:29 Debating Decision-Making and Consent in Treatment 00:11:27 Community Treatment Orders and Implementation 00:14:11 Comparing Residential Treatment and Incarceration Risks 00:14:53 Symposium Structure and Time Management 00:16:38 Emphasizing Dialogue and Conclusion ABOUT THE CHANNEL: Join addiction psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove (Wip) Lamba, addiction case manager and former addict Jean-Paul (JP) Michael, and their guests as they explore topics related to substance use, addiction, addiction medicine, psychotherapy, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery.
