From our wonderfully dedicated Board, our amazing Sponsors, the variety of awesome presenters, and all of our MAADAC members and non-members alike who attended our event – without all of you, our conference would not have been possible.

Thanks again to our amazing Sponsors! Our Platinum Sponsors: Bicycle Health, Odyssey House, and Henry Ford Health Maplegrove; Our Gold Sponsor: River's Bend; Silver Sponsor: Braeburn (Brixadi); and our Bronze Sponsors: Meridian Health Services, Skywood Recovery, Pasadena Villa, Rapid Test Cup, Aegis, and the University of Michigan.

MAADAC was glad to be part of the Community Resource Expo at Portage Public Schools’ “One Choice: Protecting Futures” Opioid Education Event last night. Attendees got to see what prevention, treatment, crisis, and recovery resources were available in Southwest Michigan, as well as hear the incredible yet heartbreaking story of Becky Savage, who lost her two teenage sons to an accidental overdose- an unfortunately all too common story for those of us working in the SUD field.

Board Member Eric Horwood was present to talk with the public on what MAADAC is doing to help improve the quality of services rendered by Addiction Professionals in the State as well as talk to prospective college students about what a career as an Addiction Professional could look like. A special thanks to Lauren who volunteered to help Eric work the table at this event.

Thank you Portage Public Schools for having us!
