KEYNOTE FORUM | DAY 2
Innovation in the delivery
of care for substance
abuse and mental
health that is designed
to increase the quality
of care, outcomes, and
affordability
This presentation will discuss
the current and traditional
modalities of care for addiction
and underlying mental health
care conditions. We will discuss
and identify areas of the current
continuum of care that could be
optimized to saturate the least
restrictive approach throughout
the experience of care. We will
also look at areas of opportunity
on the continuum, that might be
neglected from formal planning
and funding. Patient-centered
care can be re-evaluated from
an “end to end “perspective, in
context to relapse prevention
and long-term management.
We will take a fresh and careful
look at the continuum to
contemplate what more could
be done to increase the quality
of care and recidivism rates.
Modern scientific thought
and evidence support the
notion of implementing: social
determinants, life scaping,
and preventative care in the
traditional treatment model.
We have a great opportunity
to decrease substance abuse
relapse rates internationally.
This presentation will offer
more perspective on promising
outlooks from what is evidence-
based and affordable when
considering the delivery of
patient care.
Case Study to be Discussed:
Operation Rio Grande, Utah.
A collaborative community
effort to improve success
rates utilizing specific service
providers for those that have
been homeless and or have
suffered chronic addiction.
Sober Living Properties (SLP),
took a key role in the services
of recovering housing. SLP
was acknowledged for two
out of two success stories of
individuals that were recognized
in the first calendar year,
from the state and the local
government in Utah, concerning
the Operation Rio Grande.
Biography
Renee G. Brown has a background of looking
at cutting edge technology, optimizing
systems, and benchmarking results. In her
early employment, she taught emerging
technology internationally for Hewlett
Packard and fastidiously focused on the
concept of Total Cost of Ownership;
meaning “what does a widget really costs
when you consider break/fixes over 3 or 5
years?” Her life and interests took a twist
as a close family member of hers suffered
from opiate addiction. With a passion, she
wanted to make a difference for others and
their families to have more recovery options
available. She and her husband/business
partner (Michael Brown), felt that recovery
housing was an underutilized service that
could be instrumental in assisting others
in early recovery and relapse prevention.
Together, they decided to open the first
Recovery House in the state of Utah. They
now own the largest independent recovery
housing in their state. She is always eager
to look at the big picture of treatment, to
improve on the personal experience of
care, relapse prevention, lasting outcomes,
as well as the total cost of ownership to
governments and consumers.
