Rallying for Recovery 2008!
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Webcasts
Recovery in the United States: Past, Present, and Future is the latest in a series of Webcasts from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Services (CSAT).
Recovery is not simply a 30-day inpatient program or a monthly trip to a clinic: it is a long-term coordinated effort on the part of the individual and the community. This program will look back on some of the successes the recovery movement has enjoyed as well as current policy initiatives to increase and enhance treatment services. It will also look forward, focusing on what remains to be done to ensure that all persons with a substance abuse and/or mental health condition get the sustained, comprehensive treatment they need.
The Webcast is hosted by Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, CSAT and panelists are Terry Cline, Ph.D., Administrator, SAMHSA; Shelly Wiechelt, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, School of Social Work; Tom Coderre, National Field Director, Faces & Voices of Recovery; Timothy Condon, Ph.D., Deputy Director, National Institute on Drug Abuse.
