2 Attendee Profile This is The 8th Annual Addiction Providers Conference in Washington State sponsored by treatment for treatment! The focus is: to provide training to those who work in the addiction profession; to celebrate the recovery process; to recognize the certified addiction programs in our state. This statewide conference demonstrates not only the rich history of the field, but also the unity that must exist to reach our goals. It offers a much needed opportunity to do cross training as well as to introduce non-members to the benefits of joining an association. This conference will display many of the reasons Washington remains one of the few states with a discrete system and a successful record of addressing addiction distinctly and effectively. Educational Objectives Following this conference, participants will be able to: understand the importance of the focus in Washington to treat alcohol and other drug addiction as a separate and distinct disease. identify the wealth of human and institutional resources that infuse treatment in Washington with passion and skill. acknowledge both the diversity of treatment programs and the commonality of treatment philosophy that guides those programs. Accreditation Up to 12 hours of CEUs may be awarded for this conference. Of those hours, 4 are for law and ethics.
