In these challenging economic times, New Directions for Women realizes it is more important than ever to continue the fight against addiction. The loss of a job can often trigger a need to escape reality through alcohol and other drugs. The 4th Annual Addiction Treatment Centers & Professionals Consortium of California (ATCPCC), which occurred in Santa Barbara, California from July 28 – 30, 2010, was meant to create a forum in which addiction experts could share resources and knowledge at a time when it’s needed most. This event gave addiction experts from about 50 premier addiction treatment centers throughout the U.S. an opportunity to meet established practitioners, discuss trends in the industry, and to network and better serve clients through best practices with an emphasis on excellence. ATCPCC allowed those in the addiction treatment field to gather and discuss their trade in a forum that allows for networking, learning and improving the addiction treatment profession. Many pertinent and upcoming issues were discussed, and we believe everyone returned home with wonderful memories of summer relaxation, as well as many new relationships! New Directions for Women is strongly committed to the mission of treating chemically dependent women and is a proud host of ATCPCC. We thank the almost one hundred attendees who shared their time and talent with us, and look forward to releasing information about ATCPCC 2011 shortly.
