Substance use and mental health issues have significant impacts on individuals, families, communities, and societies. Alcohol and drug misuse and related disorders are major public health challenges that are taking an enormous toll on our society.
In this webinar we will learn about an innovative program that patients, families patient/health advocates and healthcare professionals and payers can look for to help people fight the addition battle.
Carrie E. Grassi, Vice President of Medical Services, MSN, APRN-BC, CARN-AP will share insights into the Aware Recovery Care’s In-Home Addiction Treatment (IHAT) program that provides medically integrated behavioral healthcare that addresses the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms of it, and to provide ongoing support to clients as they navigate the challenges of recovery. It is believed that by providing treatment in the home environment, stigma associated with addiction can be reduced and help individuals succeed in addressing their addiction challenges.

About the Speaker
Carrie E. Grassi, Vice President of Medical Services, MSN, APRN-BC, CARN-AP
Carrie is a Nurse Practitioner certified in adult health, addiction, and correctional medicine, and has been a dedicated member of Aware Recovery Care since October 2020. With over two decades of experience in healthcare, Carrie initially began her journey as a medical assistant before continuing to nursing school. While pursuing her master’s degree in nursing at Boston College, a clinical rotation at a homeless shelter clinic in New Hampshire deepened her understanding of the complex interplay between substance use, criminality, and homelessness. Witnessing the impact of economic and environmental factors on patients, she was drawn to correctional medicine, where she committed herself to addressing the health disparities in this population.
In her ten years working in corrections, Carrie developed protocols to ensure patients with substance use disorders, especially those experiencing withdrawal, received safe and dignified care. Her work contributed to much-needed progress in treating these vulnerable individuals, though she acknowledges there is still much to be done.
Carrie is now advancing her career by pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in Executive Leadership at Vanderbilt University. This next step reflects her ongoing dedication to improving healthcare systems and advocating for underserved populations.
