Join Addiction Professional, for lunch and a panel discussion with experts from Portland and around the country, who will address how providers can better work together to support their clients' recovery. Upon attending this course, participants will be able to: * Understand The Recovery - Oriented System of Care model, and how it has shifted the focus of addiction treatment facilities from episodic care to ongoing recovery support * Explain how treatment centers and the recovery community have established meaningful recovery support services, including community-based recovery centers, to help individuals gain important life skills and strengthen their long-term sobriety * Demonstrate practical strategies to help treatment facilities and individual providers partner with recovery organizations to offer more extended support to patients Workshop Details Date: Wednesday June 18, 2014 Time: 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Location: Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront 1401 SW Naito Pkwy.
