Hello Rowdy
This sounds like a very interesting topic to explore. As you Know Littledale Hall TC was opened in 2006, we have been fully occupied for the majority of the past two years and currently have a waiting list. I feel there are numerous reasons for this, which I am happy to share. I spoke with Harry S about this recently as he appears to have an interest in this issue.
I would really like to attend the half-Day but will have to re-arrange a few things, so pencil me in for now and i will confirm asap
Kind regards
Keith Robertson

Retention and Recovery Capital - A Half-day Seminar at University of Stirling

Throughout the UK there has been a resurgence of interest in - and demand for - addiction interventions which aspire to deliver full and sustained recovery. In Scotland, this development has been underpinned by the Scottish Government's publication of its Road to Recovery strategy and the establishment of the Scottish Drugs Recovery Consortium<http://www.sdrconsortium.org/>.
However, alongside this groundswell of interest in recovery has come a growing realisation that a true reorientation of the way in which we view and respond to addiction and what we believe is possible, will require a reshaping of our treatment and intervention systems.
This half-day seminar, sponsored by the Scottish Drugs Recovery Consortium brings together internationally acclaimed researcher and teacher, George De Leon, respected UK recovery researcher, David Best and long-time recovery advocate Rowdy Yates to explore the related issues of retention and recovery capital.
It has been known for many years that retention in treatment and/or engagement with supportive structures deliver, by far the best outcomes. In other words, the longer people work at it and the more effort they put in, the more likely they are to succeed in their personal recovery journey. The speakers in this seminar will review what is known about these two linked issues, explore the relationship between the two and consider the possibilities for enhancing and further developing them both within treatment services and in the community.
