NCAD has been really informative and engaging. It’s exciting to be around like-minded professionals who are all wanting to better our practice so we can better help our patients.

Primary Addiction Counselor & Outpatient Clinical Supervisor
Cayuga Addiction Recovery Services

This is the first conference I’ve attended where we get to select the breakout sessions that most fit my educational needs. I’m having a great time! Dr. Mel Pohl is a favorite; with his personal experience, who he is and what he does—he can’t get any better! He lives the story and he can deliver.

Nurse Practitioner

I really enjoyed the sessions on trauma and technology-driven treatment. NCAD provides sessions on treatment strategies that are clinically relevant and cutting-edge. I left this conference with a better sense of what is coming next in recovery, mental health, and substance-abuse treatment. The exhibit hall was awesome too! I found the information being shared by exhibitors to be useful and I had the opportunity to reconnect with people I haven’t seen in a while.

Drug and Alcohol Counselor
Temple University Health System

It’s been a great experience and I’ve made a lot of good connections. It was fun to see people that I know and reconnect with them and to meet new people and learn about their programs.

Community Relations Coordinator
Rosecrance

The interaction has been great! Attendees are very receptive and have very good energy. Everyone I’ve connected with is passionate about helping people and I think that’s what really matters.
