| View in browser September 2022 Keeping Up with Drug Trends Probation and court professionals are at the forefront of drug and alcohol addiction. But things change – quickly – as dealers prey on communities with ever-more dangerous drugs and strategies to evade detection.   An upcoming Averhealth-sponsored event will delve into the latest trends so you can better support your clients on the road to recovery. The National Emerging Drug Trends Conference, presented by The Tall Cop, Jermaine Galloway, will be held on Oct. 7 and 8 in Dallas, TX. Topics will include emerging drugs in schools and communities, trends in drug courts, vapes, cannabis legalization, and much more.   Averhealth board member Gen. Barry McCaffrey (Ret.) delivers the opening plenary session about the opioid crisis, its tragic impact, and how communities grapple with the epidemic. And Dominique Delagnes, our Chief Operating Officer, will tackle the dangers and trends of fentanyl.   Stay ahead of the curve and hear from Gen. McCaffrey on our latest podcast.   September is National Recovery Month, an annual observance to promote and support new evidence-based treatment and recovery practices, the nation's recovery community, and the dedication of service providers and communities who make a recovery in all its forms possible.   The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) provides content, events, and activities to celebrate everyone's efforts to help our communities.
