One–Day Event Celebrating Recovery in
Arizona - Free Admission
The Art of Recovery –
is a FREE to the public, one-day event offering educational workshops, resources and
solutions.
It is part of the celebration of National Recovery Month.
It
is important to reach out to the families and loved ones of people seeking
recovery – they often have
questions
and need answers and support to understand what’s going on in their own
lives and the lives of
their
loved one. The recovery process can be healing for the entire family, and
it is important to have
care
that addresses the specific needs of the family for effective treatment
and long-term recovery.
Parents
and loved ones can help motivate people to access treatment and celebrate
their successes in
recovery.
When parents are well-informed about addiction to alcohol and other drugs
and the many
pathways
to recovery, they can be powerful advocates for the services and support
that their children
need
to recover. Alcohol and
drug problems are pervasive in every community, affecting everyone either
directly or indirectly.
Did you know?
Over 200,000,000
people in the US are directly affected by addiction,
90% have no idea of what to do about it.
More than
23,000,000 are addicts and/or alcoholics and in 2005 less than
4,000,000 addicts and alcoholics received treatment for addiction!
The gap is
19,000,000 people who need treatment and are not able to get help.
The Art of Recovery Expo offers positive solutions to
anyone currently facing challenges and those who love them. Addiction
affects families, business and our community. Our goal is to help remove
the stigma associated to addiction and provide resources when and if the need
arises. We need to narrow
the gap between the number of people who need treatment and those who get
it. This can only be accomplished
through enriching public awareness and approaching the challenge together.
In order for the private and public treatment industry to
continue to flourish, we invite your active participation to join us in
addressing o the general public. Exhibitors are comprised of counselors, agencies, treatment
facilities, out patient clinics, marriage and family therapists and specialists
in other areas such as eating disorders, gambling addiction and more. Exhibit Booths $500-
Nonprofits $250
