On April 8, 2011, Mountainside Drug Rehab is joining with five other treatment centers in co-sponsoring the Spring Conference on Addictions in White Plains , NY . These one day conferences are being regularly organized by The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence/Westchester with treatment centers throughout the country.

Treatment specialists from various fields of addictions will present within their area of expertise. Among the highlights of the conference will be a presentation by Bruce Dechert, M.ED., LADC, ICADC. Bruce is the Family Wellness Program Director at Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center . His experience within the addiction treatment field spans three decades and, during that time, he has developed a particular specialty in helping addicted individuals and their families to communicate better, allowing a greater understanding of one another’s perspectives. To that end, his presentation will be: “Moving from Family Illness to Family Wellness”. Bruce is strongly dedicated to fostering within the addiction treatment field the importance and impact of familial relationships within the addicted family dynamic.

“This year, we’re not only honored to co-sponsor the Spring Conference on Addictions,” begins Terence Dougherty, CEO of Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center, “we are honored to have one of the key members of our treatment team, Bruce Dechert, M.ED., LADC, ICADC, present to both colleagues and students in attendance. This conference will bring together some of the best minds within the addiction treatment field, drawing upon many years of combined experience.
