For the first time, SECAD will turn to two most highly regarded addiction associations in the world, NAATP (The National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers) and NAADAC (The Association for Addiction Professionals) to develop a conference agenda that will work to educate and inspire counselors, trainers, medical professionals, and managers.
Together these two associations will use their vast experience, knowledge, and industry connections to develop sessions and workshops that will educate and inspire. Keynote presentations and panel discussions will highlight and debate key treatment strategies and the impact of new laws that will impact patient rights, insurance, and continuation of treatment.
