Conference programming will include such varied sessions/topics as: “Treatment and Recovery Enhancement for Sustained Recovery,” “The Roadmap to Wellness: Incorporating Attachment Theory and the Trauma Model in the Recovery/Discovery Process,” “Find Your People,” “What’s New in Drug and Alcohol Testing: New Markers and Devices for Monitoring Participants,” “Judicial Roundtables—Building Community Among Judges,” “Founders Presentation,” “The Health of Today’s Law Students: Reporting Results of a National Survey on Well-Being of Law Students and Discussing Next Steps,” “Pragmatism or Saving a Life…How about Both,” “Living Well—One Day at a Time.” In addition, the Conference features an Exhibit Hall of facilities from around the US and Canada that focus on treating drug abuse, addictions, mood disorders, eating disorders, etc. This is a wonderful opportunity to discover new facilities and interact face to face with the facilities you use currently.
