Happy New Year from Uprise Health!
We hope your year is off to a safe and positive start. While the beginning of a new year can bring hope and motivation, it can also be a stressful time of transition and change. Our goal is to support you through both the challenging moments and the brighter ones by sharing resources designed to help you stay balanced, supported, and well—every step of the way.

Program Reminder on Inclement Weather
As we continue through the colder months of the season, please remember that if a collection site is closed due to inclement weather, you must inform your program of the closure. This will be verified by your agreement monitor. If the site is confirmed to be closed and you have remained in compliance for nine consecutive months (or have been compliant thus far if enrolled less than nine months), then one of your allotted toxicology exemptions per year may be used. Be sure to review your programs’ guideline for Inclement Weather and Toxicology Testing on your programs website or you may request it from your Agreement Monitor.

The Path Back to Connection: Healing Attachment Wounds Through the Deep Brain
January 21st, 2026 | 12:00 PM CST
Clinicians recognize that healing attachment wounds is central to trauma treatment, yet many traditional approaches often fall short by emphasizing cognitive and behavioral strategies while overlooking the body's implicit, neurobiological memory of relational trauma. This workshop offers a crucial, integrated perspective, bridging established attachment theory with cutting-edge, neuroscience-informed interventions that target the deep brain—the subcortical engine of safety, regulation, and connection.
Friendship and Fun: An Evidence-Based Attachment-Informed Approach to Addiction Treatment This presentation will address how fostering meaningful, fun, and supportive relationships within a community setting can promote long-term recovery by emphasizing not just relapse prevention but also the positive aspects of recovery, referred to as "recovery promotion."
Staying current with continuing education doesn’t have to be complicated. Nurses and physicians can earn accredited, virtual continuing education credits through trusted programs such as IHI Open School, NetCE Continuing Education, and ABQAURP Online Continuing Education.
