Alcohol and drug use and misuse is an immense and highly complex challenge for Scotland’s health, social work, housing, criminal justice, and education professionals.

Recovery Scotland will explore person-centred and community-led approaches to government and public services working together - to prevent drug use in the longer term, and to make recovery a reality.

Recovery Scotland is only £20 to attend and includes an exhibition, interactive zones and a comprehensive seminar programme.

The programme

Recovery Scotland will explore five key themes that are vital to Scotland’s workforce within health, social work, housing, criminal justice and education:

• better prevention of drug misuse, with improved life chances for children and young people, especially those at risk of problem drug use, allowing them to realise their full potential in all areas of life
• to see more people recover from problem drug use so that they can live longer, healthier lives, realising their potential and making a positive contribution to society and the economy
• having communities that are safer and stronger places to live and work because crime, disorder and danger related to problem drug use have been reduced
• ensuring that children affected by parental substance use are safer and more able to achieve their potential
• improving the effectiveness of delivery at a national and local level.
