May 2007

United Kingdom/European Symposium on Addictive Disorders

In 2007, this conference offered the UK’s widest and most prestigious choice of leading national and international experts to professionals in the drug and alcohol treatment field.

treatment-now.com exhibited here for the first time and found this event to be both informative and great fun and a place to meet with friends and colleagues in the industry. It provides an excellent forum to support improvements in service across the treatment sector and to share and exchange ideas and approaches to treatment with a wide range of professionals
