9th Annual Association of Recovery Schools Conference


The 9th Annual Association of Recovery Schools Conference, “On the Trail to Freedom”, will provide a wide array of opportunities for those who work with adolescents in the area of substance abuse. This conference will allow participants to share best practices, learn from experts in the field, and connect with colleagues from all over the country. The Association of Recovery Schools is committed to ensuring that every student with a substance abuse issue has the opportunity to access a safe and supportive educational opportunity in a recovery high school environment.

The Pre-Conference will focus on sharing of best practices. This morning session is a tremendous opportunity for those currently operating recovery schools or in the process of starting a recovery school to learn from others in the field. The main conference consists of workshops, both interactive and didactic, presented by experts in their fields. The conference tracks this year include: Education, Evaluation, Medical and Therapeutic/Clinical. These workshops will be greatly beneficial to high school and college recovery programs as well as health care providers and substance abuse treatment providers from community care settings.
