The role of treatment in recovery: A one day national conference

This national conference on the role of treatment in recovery will provide an unrivalled opportunity to update knowledge, hear about good practice and to meet others working in the same area. The conference has been developed by the Scottish Training on Drugs and Alcohol (STRADA), a partnership of the University of Glasgow and DrugScope. In the treatment of drug and alcohol problems there is much discussion on the role treatment plays in recovery. Whilst its value in the initiation and maintenance stages of recovery is acknowledged there are debates about how treatment services should work with peer support, mutual aid and universal services to affect long term recovery for individuals, their families and communities.

Through presentations delivered by key experts, discussion and debate the conference will consider:

• The role of treatment in a person’s recovery.
• The choices in different forms of treatment modalities, especially substitute therapies.
• The learning to be had from international perspectives.
• The role of the professional in a person’s recovery.

What recovery means at a personal level.
