Description
The field of substance use disorder treatment was forever changed by COVID-19 in early 2020. Providers were forced to quickly transition from in-person individual and group counseling to virtual services, including video-based platforms. Few, however, had the time to think strategically and look at the long-term implications and opportunities virtual care presented. This session will provide a deep dive into one provider’s successful development of a robust virtual suite of services that will increase the access to and quality of care long into the future.
Presenter
Thomas P. Britton, DrPH, LPC, LCAS, ACS, has been involved in the behavioral health field for more than 30 years. Throughout his professional career, Britton has held the belief that “all people hold the innate potential to improve their life and the lives of those around them.” Britton is committed to lifelong learning, completing a Doctorate in Public Health at the Gillings School of Global Health, a Master’s degree in addiction treatment, and a Master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. Currently, Britton is the President and CEO of the nation’s largest non-profit treatment provider specializing in substance use disorder treatment, the Gateway Foundation. He has taught and lectured throughout the country and is considered an expert in the intersection of addiction and the larger context of public health and policy. Personally, Britton has used his history of addiction and recovery to guide organizations and community to a place of compassionate but science driven practice.
Marc Turner, BA, MS, joined Gateway Foundation in December 2017 as the President of the Community Services Division. In this role, he is responsible for leading all community-based outpatient & residential programs across Illinois. Apart from managing the strategy and operations for community programs, Turner also oversees call center operations, sales & marketing, and quality improvements. Turner comes with a strong background of over 25 years of experience in addiction treatment. He has significant leadership expertise in running for-profit and not-for-profit addiction treatment centers throughout the country, specializing in high quality care with long term sustainable growth plans. Before joining Gateway, Turner worked with American Addiction Centers (AAC) for five years and managed multi-site treatment centers as the CEO. Prior to AAC, he spent about 12 years with Palmetto Behavioral Health System based out of Charleston, South Carolina.
