2012 AATOD National Conference - April 21-25, 2012
 |
Recovery Network of Programs is very proud to announce that Karen Reekie and Donna Rivera will be guest speakers at the 2012 AATOD National Conference focusing on the continued success of "Family Night" offered at our Center for Human Services (CHS). Family Night is a weekly group in which clients and their families come together to discuss issues important to them, their relationships, and their recovery. It's a safe environment where family members can learn about the disease of addiction as well as the benefits of Medication Assisted Treatment. It allows individuals to realize that they are not alone on their journey. The goal of this group is to educate and support family members, to restore family unity, and improve treatment outcome via family support. |
