2008 National Drug Treatment Conference
The 2008 National Drug Treatment Conference was held at the Glasgow Radisson Hotel on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th March 2008.
2008 sees the introduction of a new drugs strategy and review of the clinical guidelines influencing the way practitioners work with drug users. The NDTC is the biggest forum for the drug treatment field to discuss these and other key issues and help shape the year ahead.

- Understanding the heroin and cocaine supply chain
- 'Natural recovery' from problematic drug use
- Families: how can we help. How can they help?
- More drug treatment with less money
- Post-release initiatives for drug-using prisoners
- Alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy (ACCE): the post heroin and crack generation
- Brief interventions with alcohol: why not with drugs?
- Are the NICE guidelines nice enough?
- Engaging black and minority ethnic communities in drug service development
Plus, as always, the latest thinking on the available pharmacotherapies.
