Dean Nakanishi, CEO of the Asian American Drug Abuse Program (AADAP) will give an overview of Substance Use Disorder and some perspective from his 30 years of service. This overview will offer a perspective from AADAP’s approaches to treatment and current trends in the field. This session will give participants an opportunity to ask direct questions. AADAP’s goal is to give participants insight into AADAP’s addiction services, how to approach the issue, and in what ways the community can help advocate for an issue that is commonly kept, “hush, hush!” This program is free to attend. Registration is not required.
