Workshop Submission Overview

The Arizona Association of Drug Court Professionals (AADCP) is pleased to announce the Call for Presenters for the 2024 Treatment Courts Conference, to be held April 9-12, 2024, at the Prescott Resort in Prescott, Arizona.  Our goal is to offer quality 75-minute workshops that provide skill-building opportunities, increase professional competencies, and focus on implementing research into practice.
