      THese are the words I shared yesterday during the kick -off:

      I took the NADA acudetox training in 2002 so I could supervise the then new Acudetox program at a private mental health hospital, St Albans. We have provided the protocol 4x a week ever since.

      Living in the rural southwestern corner of Virginia we were a happy acudetox club. We let our NADA memberships lapse because New York and Laramie seemed so far away, and that dues money could have been put to other uses. We were providing the protocol and enjoying our relationship and we thought that was enough.

      It wasn’t until I wanted to be a trainer that I gave any thought to the broader organization.

      Boy was I surprised! I learned that
      NADA is a group of incredibly talented, dedicated individuals working to better themselves and their communities and eager to share. I have learned so much listening to their stories: I have learned about cultural competency, emergent strategies, and listened to voices of indegenious elders, committed social justice warriors, and our NADA ancestors.

      I have found a group of professional colleagues who are all “up to something.” and I have made some fabulous friends.

      I really didn’t know what I was missing.
