Workshop Schedule

Hosted by NM-High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA). Insight and discussion around the latest developments and information regarding opioids, stimulants, benzodiazepines, and other emerging adulterants in the United States, New Mexico and the southwest border. Information on overdose trends and statistics, an overview of current efforts in combatting drug trafficking organizations and an introduction to the physiology of these drugs and how they can possibly impact, mimic and exacerbate mental health disorders such as anxiety and depressive disorders.

WORKSHOP: New Mexico's Emerging Drug Trends

Hosted by New Mexico Health Department. Learn how to effectively respond to an overdose, including practical tips on how people who use substances can reduce their risk of an overdose while still using, how to use naloxone, and rescue breathing. 

WORKSHOP: Naloxone and Overdose Prevention

Hosted by New Mexico Dream Center with APD and BSCO. The complex relationship between substance use and both labor and sex trafficking is recognized within the criminal justice system.  Successfully prosecuted cases have proven that the role of substance use disorder in human trafficking is powerful and pervasive; 1) addiction can increase a person’s vulnerability to being trafficked; 2) can be initiated and manipulated by the trafficker as a means of coercion and control; 3) and can be used by the victim/survivor as a means of coping with the physical and psychological traumas of being trafficked both during and after exiting the trafficking situation.  People with substance use issues are especially vulnerable to victimization by human traffickers.  Some traffickers even recruit directly from detox and addiction treatment facilities.  Societal stigma can prevent providers, law enforcement, prosecutors, and other professionals from identifying victims of human trafficking.

WORKSHOP: Human Trafficking and Its Ties to Substance Use

Hosted by Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent in Charge of the El Paso Division. Although fentanyl has been leading the news in recent years, the Drug Enforcement Administration has been working fentanyl and fentanyl pre-cursor chemicals since 2006. This presentation will give a timeline of DEA’s work in the synthetic drug trade from 2006 through today. The presentation was previously only given to law enforcement, but is now being shared with the community at large during fentanyl summits.    

WORKSHOP: Historical Perspective on Synthetic Drug Trafficking

The talking circles will demonstrate how one can facilitate a talking a circle, describe the meaning and purpose of talking circles, describe and show the different medicines used in a talking circle as well as alternatives, and we will actually conduct a talking circle. 

WORKSHOP: Talking Circles, Alternative Healing
