Conference overview
This exceptional program is devoted to topics concerning recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction, presented from many viewpoints, and focused on the experiences of people working in the field. Presenters and panelists include psychologists, sober living providers, physicians, homeless services providers, interventionists and representatives of the criminal justice field.
The idea for this conference originated in discussions about the intersection of sober living with other elements in the continuum of recovery from addiction. The conclusion was that much could be gained from a forum where participants from different fields could meet to discuss common issues, share experiences and seek solutions.
The "Summit" part of the title is the day's theme–a meeting of informed minds from diverse backgrounds to discuss matters of mutual concern. The program will present experience from a variety of disciplines, with the common theme of improving our collective understanding of addiction and recovery.
Continuing education hours are available for Summit participants. See this page for more information.
