Recovery-based care project
Faces & Voices is partnering with the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD) and the State Associations of Addiction Services (SAAS) in a project to educate state legislators and legislative staff about recovery-based care for addiction. On June 20 th Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) Executive Director Phillip Valentine participated in a briefing for legislators in Washington, DC. The next part of the project is a series of three web-assisted audio conferences. On July 11th, Bev Haberle from PRO-ACT will join Philadelphia’s Dr. Arthur Evans to discuss the transformation to recovery-oriented care in that city. The audioconferences will be recorded and can be listened to online. We'll let you know when they're available.
