SUMMARY:Hidden Hazards Webinar Series: Understanding Today's Evolving Addictions: Toxicology 102
DESCRIPTION:Gas station drugs are a category of substances that are sold legally at gas stations or convenience stores throughout the United States and are typically marketed as legal alternatives to illicit drugs like marijuana\, cocaine\, or MDMA. However\, these substances can be highly dangerous\, as their chemical composition and potency can vary greatly. Furthermore\, testing for gas station drugs can be challenging due to their varying chemical compositions and the fact that they are often not well understood by users or even some medical professionals. This presentation will discuss the various types of substances available and various testing methods to help identify misuse. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nDiscuss the presence and dangers of ‘gas station’ drugs – the growth and availability of multiple toxic substances without the need for Rx or ID to purchase.\n\n\n\nIdentify the ability to detect and test for some of these substances.\n\n\n\nDescribe the characteristics\, intended effects\, and potential adverse outcomes of common gas station drugs to enhance recognition and assessment of misuse in clinical and community settings.

SUMMARY:Stop Judging; Start Healing Stigma Summits
DESCRIPTION:Stigma is a set of negative beliefs held by a group or society and creates significant challenges for individuals facing substance use disorder (SUD). The World Health Organization recognizes stigma as a harmful force\, hindering treatment and recovery efforts. Alarmingly\, public perceptions often view individuals with SUD more negatively than those with mental health disorders\, perpetuating the destructive cycle of this disease. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Alabama\, stigma serves as a major barrier to seeking treatment and deeply impacts how individuals perceive themselves. This summit is dedicated to breaking down these barriers by dispelling myths\, sharing evidence-based practices\, and shining a spotlight on stigma as a critical public health issue. Join us in fostering understanding\, compassion\, and meaningful change.
