Assisted Outpatient Treatment in the United States: History, Evidence, Implementation, and Future Directions
Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), also known as outpatient civil commitment, occupies an important but often controversial place in the mental health care continuum. This presentation will trace the historical development of AOT in the United States, from deinstitutionalization and civil commitment reform to contemporary models of court-ordered community treatment. Drawing on more than three decades of research, the talk will examine what is known about AOT’s effectiveness in reducing hospitalization, improving treatment engagement, and promoting community stability, as well as the conditions under which these outcomes are most likely to occur. The presentation will compare implementation approaches across states, discuss ethical and legal considerations, and explore emerging questions concerning service capacity, patient-centered care, and racial equity. The goal is to provide participants with a balanced, evidence-based framework for understanding AOT’s evolving role in modern behavioral health systems.…

Grand Rounds - Rural Mental Health and the Deaths of Despair in Central Appalachia
Richard L. Merkel, Jr. MD, PhD, will describe the history, culture, and people of Central Appalachia and how these have contributed to the Deaths of Despair in the context of the opioid crisis. This will serve as an example of the difficulties and opportunities of doing rural mental health. While rural areas of the U.S. are quite diverse, they also share certain characteristics which impact efforts to improve mental health care in these areas. This presentation will provide appreciation of some of the efforts to enhance mental health care in rural America. Central to this effort is the relationship between the psychiatrist and the community.
Dr. Richard L. Merkel is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences and director of outreach at the University of Virginia.

The Dose Makes the Poison: Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome Goes Mainstream
CME accreditation pending for providers; Certificate of attendance available for both in-person and virtual attendees
Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is becoming increasingly visible in clinical settings, but many providers are navigating diagnosis, treatment, and patient communication without clear guidance.
In a recent survey of Washington State healthcare providers, 70% reported treating patients experiencing severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea, retching, and relentless vomiting associated with heavy cannabis use.
Patients may not recognize cannabis as the cause of their symptoms, or may be skeptical that CHS exists at all, making effective care even more challenging.
Join the UW Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute (ADAI) on September 18, 2026, to for this FREE one-day symposium about:

Stabilizing High-Risk Pregnancy in OUD: A Two-Part Webinar on Inpatient Care (Part 1)
Opioid use disorder (OUD) in pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy, and inpatient admission can be an appropriate, medically necessary means of stabilizing it. This two-part webinar presents both the clinical rationale for these stabilizing admissions and a practical framework for delivering them.
Part 1 establishes the clinical foundation, examining the maternal, obstetric, and neonatal risks associated with OUD in pregnancy; the role of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in mitigating those risks; and the indications and medical necessity for admission. It also addresses a reimbursement misconception: that such admissions are made "to initiate MOUD," rather than to stabilize a high-risk pregnancy.
Part 2 translates this foundation into practice. In a moderated panel discussion, experienced clinicians share how stabilizing admissions are carried out across a range of care settings, offering case examples and lessons learned.
