2022 COD & TREATMENT CONFERENCE IS HYBRID!
COD and Treatment Conference strives to bring together experts from Washington and across the nation to share information about innovative Co-occurring Disorder (COD) —diagnosed patients who have substance use disorders as well as mental health disorders—and treatment therapeutic techniques, skills, programs, practices, and policies. The conference offers relevant workshops and several keynote speakers in an enjoyable learning experience.
Our goal is to promote the integration of services across public behavioral health, developmental disabilities, adult and youth corrections, and physical health. Additionally, promote knowledge about COD and the value of integration, to support the development of a COD capable system of care. Finally, we strive to present each participant with current information that will bring value back to the agency and the patients they serve and to provide a great opportunity to network with friends and colleagues.
The conference will be available in person in Yakima, WA Oct 10-11 as well as online virtually those same dates.
Additionally, there will be On-Demand Access online which will begin n October 16, 2022 at 8:00 AM PT and will close October 31, 2022
