Nov 28, 2016Sounds great i am excited for the focus and rural community information. The average person seeking rehabilitation travels over 100km (AIHW) for a rehabiltation service which implies some people are travelling great distances for treatment.

Jan 07, 2018I am looking forward to attending this event. Are there any presentations from current rehab facilities? Are non-medical models of recovery discussed such as 12 step based programs?
