Calls to expand the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Court across the country. AODTC was launched in New Zealand in 2012 as a pilot to steer high-risk, high-need offenders away from prison. Offenders must plead guilty and face a likely prison term of up to three years for drug offences, committing to a tough 12- to 18-month program including regular drug testing, AA or NA meetings, and counselling. The courts are incredibly successful in the United States, resulting in some prisons in Texas closing due to lack of need. Dr Doug Marlowe, a global expert on drug-court policy, told Kerre Woodham early studies of the system showed low rates of people committing new crimes and high rates of people completing treatment, avoiding jail sentences, and avoiding probation revocations. He says that when Judges take a personal interest in the treatment the participants are receiving, their influence and authority in the community helped to bring more resources to bear for their clients. Marlowe told Woodham that treatment courts raised all ships – raising the quality of treatment, the quality of defence council representation, and the quality of probation supervision. “Treatment is the core of the model, and if you don't have good treatment, you know, your outcomes are severely limited.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nearly eight years ago, journalist Shoshana Walter followed a lead on a drug and alcohol rehab program that put patients to work at a chicken plant. What she found was one of many programs that boasted treatment and recovery, but actually profited off the unpaid labor of people struggling with addiction. In her new book, “Rehab: An American Scandal”, Walter continues to interrogate America's drug treatment system by following four people navigating an industry that not only kept patients stuck in a cycle of addiction and relapse, but that actually stymied their recovery. We'll talk through the dark side of the rehab industry, what this book reveals about the ways patients are exploited for profit, and who actually has a chance at recovery in America.

In Washington state, a law known as Ricky's Law, allows authorities to force people with addiction into treatment. The law is named after Ricky Garcia, whose struggles with drugs and alcohol inspired him and his friend Lauren Davis to push for change.From emergency room visits to suicide attempts, Davis watched as Garcia went through more than 75 emergency visits in just two years. Davis helped spearhead the state's involuntary treatment law and later went on to become a state lawmaker.But does forcing someone into treatment actually work?CBC journalist Julia Wong went to Washington state to find out how the law has been working in practice. In her documentary, Ricky's Law, she speaks to doctors and pa tients who've been through this system. It's a timely conversation as provinces in Canada are considering similar laws.Plus, a look at how New Brunswick ended up making a two-seater sports car in the 1970s called the Bricklin SV-1.Reported by Julia Wong.

BUFFALO, NY- October 23, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled, “Gene regulatory network and signalling pathway rewiring: How blood cancer cells shift their shapes to evade drug treatment.” As highlighted in the paper, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a complex and diverse disease caused by multiple mutations in genes that regulate transcription and growth. These mutations lead to extensive rewiring of the gene regulatory network (GRN), which alters the identity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, ultimately blocking normal myeloid differentiation. A key feature of AML is the presence of mutations in growth factor receptor and signaling genes, such as FLT3, KIT, and RAS. Notably, FLT3 is one of the most commonly mutated genes in AML, with around 25% of cases showing an internal tandem duplication (ITD) that causes the receptor to remain constantly active. In their paper, researchers Constanze Bonifer and Peter N. Cockerill from the Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences at the University of Birmingham, UK, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, discuss recent publications from their group addressing this issue through a multi-omics study. The authors investigated how gene regulatory networks (GRNs) in FLT3-ITD patients were rewired compared to normal cells and in response to FLT3 inhibitor treatment. Several key findings stood out, including: 1) Mapping of open chromatin regions revealed that patients initially responsive to FLT3 inhibition showed significant rewiring of their GRNs, forming new connections between transcription factors (TFs) and target genes, while non-responsive patients did not; 2) Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments showed that drug treatment led to the loss of binding of RUNX1, the master regulator of hematopoiesis, and the MAP-Kinase (MAPK)-inducible TF AP-1; 3) Disruption of AP-1 binding via a dominant-negative version of the TF (dnFOS) also abolished RUNX1 binding at hundreds of sites, indicating that RUNX1 binding is AP-1 dependent; and 4) Inhibition of both AP-1 and RUNX1 led to a pronounced cell cycle block. “In summary, drugs that target individual signalling pathways in AML often fail to stop proliferation malignant growth, due to the wide variety, redundancy and cross talk between multiple pathways regulating and differentiation.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28662 Correspondence to - Constanze Bonifer - constanze.bonifer@mcri.edu.au Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c_uT6aE36A Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article: https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28662 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget: https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, gene regulatory networks, aberrant growth factor signaling, transcription, RUNX1/AP-1 axis About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

This week on Everyday Injustice, we sit down with LaToya Mitchell, Navigator Project Manager, CA Bridge Program and talked about the innovative program that helps get people from ER into drug treatment and reduce annual drug overdoses. A few weeks ago, she was part of a rally at the California Capitol to push for a package of bills that would improve access to programs such as the Bridge Navigator Project. The navigator program allows ER patients to connect with treatment medication and staff immediately. Mitchell explained, “What most people don't know is that it is the easiest substance use disorder to treat because medication like buprenorphine, which is commonly known by the brand name Suboxone, acts fast to stop the withdrawals without euphoria and allows the patient to feel like themselves before the addiction.” Her job is to lower the barriers for patients to receive the treatment. She said that “there's a lot of stigma for people who use drugs and that creates barriers like obtaining a Suboxone prescription from big chain pharmacies, so it's essential that I know which pharmacies are Suboxone friendly and provide that list to the patients.” Mitchell noted, “We found that with the presence of the navigator, patients felt more comfortable coming in and saying, I'm here because I'm having opioid withdrawals, as opposed to them naming their symptoms and because they were afraid of admitting their substance use. Because of that, we're able to get them treated and in and out in a couple of hours. Instead of spending six hours in the emergency room getting unnecessary and costly tests, we found that it actually saved resources and a lot of money.” Listen as Latoya Mitchell discusses the importance of harm reduction and the use of treatment over incarceration.
