Navigating the Pathways of Recovery Resources

This conference was designed to offer a mixture of learning, networking, and engagement opportunities, with enough breaks to keep attendees refreshed and ready to interact. The conference was packed with breakout sessions, panel discussions, workshops, expert roundtables, and dynamic plenary speakers to engage peers with leading experts in addiction, housing, and peer recovery.

The event started out with a welcome and was followed by break-out sessions addressing subjects such as recovery housing, trust – the currency of relationships and recovery, advancing peer services throughout the Continuum of Care, and recovery workplace initiatives.

Individuals and organizations were also acknowledged for their achievements, contributions, and leadership in the recovery field at a special awards event.

The final day of the conference wrapped up the event with seminars on best practices, recovery and re-entry, the parent perspective, and creating inclusive recovery cultures.

The audience featured a mix of representatives from non-profit organizations, sober living houses, substance abuse treatment centers, behavioral health counselors, crisis helplines, and other recovery resources, all joining to assist those struggling with addiction to gain back their lives.

Among the many attendees and peers was Narconon Arrowhead’s own exhibit introducing the recovery community to its unique drug-free approach to rehabilitation. In addition to providing help for those caught in the grip of addiction, it is essential for recovery professionals to assist in the prevention of drug abuse in the first place. Therefore, Narconon Arrowhead distributed drug education materials providing vital information on currently trending drugs in the community and their harmful effects.
