Thank you to everyone who made the 9th UKESAD such a fantastic and happy event! We have been overwhelmed with more compliments than ever and even a mention in Hansard, the official record of Parliament. It is hard to believe but, when UKESAD was first organised by Deirdre Boyd, there had for years been no conferences, not even small workshops, for professionals who wanted to learn more about how their clients could attain/ sustain drug-free recovery. At the first UKESAD, carers caught up with and validated each other, as well as benefiting from worldclass training.
JOIN THE LARGEST DRUG/ALCOHOL-RECOVERY CONFERENCE IN EUROPE:
9, 10, 11 MAY 2013
Over 60 worldclass experts in how to recover from addiction will share their knowledge and expertise with attendees at over 40 presentations. UKESAD is the only event in the UK and Europe which has demonstrated how to achieve long-term, sustainable recovery.
