This conference will explore the recovery model, how it works and whether it can deliver results to cure addictions. A CRI recovery expert will take part in the panel debate Can Treatment do Recovery? with Phil Valentine from CCAR, Mark Gilman from NTA, Simon Morton from the NHS and Carl Cundall from SASS.
The first national conference was an opportunity for those working in substance misuse to share good and innovative practice and demonstrate the steps being taken towards delivering a recovery orientated workforce. Peter Sheath, clinical services co-ordinator for CRI in the North and Midlands presented a session at the conference, film and PowerPoint presentations available here.
