Addiction does not affect all individuals equally; certain groups face unique challenges and vulnerabilities. The session on Addiction in Special Populations focuses on addressing addiction among high-risk populations such as adolescents, veterans, pregnant women, and marginalized communities.
This session highlights tailored strategies for screening, treatment, and prevention, recognizing that social determinants of health play a significant role in addiction outcomes. Attending a specialized addiction care conference equips professionals with culturally sensitive and population-specific approaches to improve access to care and enhance recovery rates.
By exploring global case studies and research, participants will gain insights into closing healthcare gaps and promoting equity in addiction treatment.
