Dear Conference Attendees:
It is our pleasure to invite you to the
seventh annual Making-It-Work! 2007 technical
assistance conference for Proposition 36, scheduled for
October 9-12, 2007, in San Diego at the Marriott Del Mar.
This year’s conference will emphasize the continuum of
care with plenary sessions and workshops covering such
issues as; Proposition 36 reauthorization and reforms,
sober living environments, dual diagnosis, drug court
role and how it relates to treatment, audits, Offender
Treatment Program outcomes, regulations regarding
narcotic treatment programs, drug testing as a tool, and
county best practices. Continuum of Services System
Re-Engineering principles will be ddressed in relation to
the above mentioned programs.
The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act (SACPA)
of 2000 has been successful thanks to the collaboration,
partnership, and dedication of everyone involved. To
continue building on these successes the conference will
offer technical assistance and training to all 58 California
county lead agency teams. These teams are comprised
of lead agency representatives, judges, alcohol and other
drug treatment providers, probation, parole, district
attorneys, local law enforcement, and public defenders.
This combination of training, technical assistance
and discussion will provide opportunities to build on
the strengths of the system to meet the continuing
challenges. Each county will have the opportunity
to further develop collaboration within their county
team, share information with other counties and offer
structured recommendations to the Department.
We look forward to a lively and fruitful gathering and
hope to see you there!
Renée Zito, LMSW, CASAC
