The National Substance Misuse Conference 2016 – Breaking Down Barriers is taking place on the 21st September 2016 at The Birmingham REP
Nationally, the Substance Use Disorders field is in a state of flux with so many unanswered questions of what the future may look like. Issues of barriers into treatment, the role of treatment in Recovery, commissioning, what Recovery is (and isn’t), Mutual Aid and NPS are just some of the key topics that are being debated. With Local Authorities under increasing financial pressure, future commissioning needs to not only address all of the issues but also win local political support and evidence Value for Money. In addition, the impact needs be sufficient for it to remain high on the government agenda.
 The National Substance Misuse Conference 2016 – Breaking Down Barriers will be a unique opportunity to receive leading expert knowledge in these 4 key areas:
<OL>
<LI>Strategy & Treatment- The new Drug strategy will highlight key findings and new practice to be implement and shape the future of treatment in the UK. How do we increase BME representation in treatment and build relationships.</LI>
<LI>NPS - The ever changing NPS market, new legislation is due to be released but is it really going to work? Prisons declaring ‘Spice’ as the number 1 drug of choice, however, this is not being reflected in services. Are you out of date?</LI>
<LI>Recovery – To capitalise & build on emerging support systems & services, in order to achieve whole person recovery (including citizenship and prosperity) for current and future service user populations.</LI>
<LI>Policy – How policy currently impacts upon delivery and the wider effects of societal aspirations. Bringing together the latest scientific evidence and Global Health research, we will explore how to best shape current and future drug (and associated) policies to ensure that addiction is viewed as a human rights and public health issue.</LI>
