A-4D Ensuring Safety During Emergency Responses to Synthetic Drugs (CE-RN, CE, Ψ CE, CME, CERP) Track: Mental Health K2, illicit Suboxone, Bath Salts and other synthetic drugs threaten the health of our offender population and the safety of our staff. These illicit and increasingly potent substances — often laced with powerful additives such as fentanyl, have led to a variety of dangerous outcomes. Violent and unpredictable acting out, persistent vegetative states and death are results observed in inmates who ingest these substances. While these behavioral and health consequences are well documented, less attention has been paid to educating staff to respond safely to these heightened risks. This workshop will focus on the substances and the ways staff can protect themselves from harm. Learning Objectives: • Participants will be able to identify ways that illicit synthetic drugs enter a correctional environment.
