Building on the success of the 2007 Journey Together conference, NAADAC has begun accepting presentation proposals for its 2008 Annual Conference. The 2008 Conference, running from August 28 ? 31, will be held in conjunction with the Kansas Association for Addiction Professionals (KAAP) in Overland Park, Kan.

At the Recovery for a Lifetime Conference 2008, NAADAC and KAAP are calling for workshop proposals that contain current and relevant information addressing addiction history, co-occurring disorders, current research and outcomes, prevention, ethics, special populations, workplace/management issues, clinical techniques, alternative therapies, faith based approaches and professional development.

In order to help addiction focused professionals based in Kansas comply with state regulations, conference organizers are particularly interested in presentations addressing infectious diseases and HIV, ethics, confidentiality, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) IV, issues concerning diagnosis and treatment and smoking cessation.

The 2008 conference will be the fourth collaborative effort that NAADAC has embarked on with its state partners. The previous conferences have been held in Corpus Christi, Tex., Burbank, Calif. and Nashville, Tenn.
