Welcome everyone to the 2012 Idaho Conference on Alcohol and Drug Dependence. On behalf of the Foundation Board Members and the Planning Committee Members, we would like to thank those of you in attendance as we continue to celebrate individuals in recovery.

This year has been full of challenges and changes. Service delivery has shifted with new resources, referral sources and pathways. As we have worked to bring the best speakers here to Idaho, we are sensitive to the amount of collaboration and patience that was needed to accomplish our goals.

We are confident that you will enjoy the presentations this year and hope they help in strengthening your practice, program and/or organization. Please enjoy yourself and thank you again for your dedication and hard work you provide to individuals suffering from addiction.
