Combatting Drug Addiction on a Community Level

cadcaforum2014This week marks the 24th annual National Leadership Forum for the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA). With the spotlight on tackling substance abuse on a local level through coalitions, organizations and individuals throughout the country, CADCA provides valuable resources to help reduce drug problems in communities.

This year the forum features speakers such as the Director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) Gil Kerlikowske, the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Dr. Nora Volkow, the Administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Pamela Hyde, Deputy Chief of Staff for the U.S. Army Brigadier General Barrye Price and many other distinguished guests.

CADCA not only helps to connect resources and share best practices, but also seeks to empower community leaders with the knowledge and tools they need to create an impact politically as well. Several of the legislative supporters include U.S. Congress Representatives Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-CA), Bill Johnson (R-OH), Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Karen Bass (D-CA) and Danny Davis (D-IL). They are joined by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and former congressman Patrick Kennedy.

CADCA is of course a major supporter of treatment centers and their missions, and Desert Cove Recovery is a believer in positive change through effective rehabilitation.
