RECAP FROM THE 2025 CONFERENCE

The 49th Annual ASADS Conference, held March 17–21, 2025, welcomed hundreds of professionals from across Alabama to the Bryant Conference Center for a week of education, connection, and inspiration. With the theme "Lighting the Path to a Brighter Future," the conference offered a meaningful platform for advancing knowledge in substance misuse prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Attendees participated in more than 40 engaging courses and heard from dynamic keynote speakers each day, sparking dialogue and collaboration across disciplines. A standout moment of the week was the presentation of the Carl Nowell Award, honoring John Bayles from the Recovery Resource Center. The conference concluded with a compelling keynote address by Mackenzie Phillips, actress and trauma care advocate, who shared her powerful story of recovery and healing.

The ASADS Conference is made possible by a dedicated volunteer board of up to 28 members and the collaborative support of state agencies, healthcare providers, and community organizations. Funding from registration fees, sponsors, and exhibitors contributed to a seamless and enriching experience for all.

Thank you to everyone who participated in making the 2025 ASADS Conference a success. Together, we continue to light the way toward lasting change in the field of addiction and behavioral health.

Sincerely,
ASADS Board of Directors
