The Association of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies NT will hold their annual Northern Territory drug and alcohol conference April 1-2 in Alice Springs at the DoubleTree Hilton.
There will be two streams at the conference:
People who have been incarcerated are approximately 100 times more likely to die by overdose in the first two weeks after their release than the general public.

Join the Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions to discover what medication-assisted treatment is, identify when to implement it, and how to successfully integrate it into recovery care plans.
