The West Coast Symposium brings together leading experts in addiction treatment, behavioral health, trauma recovery, family systems, neuroscience, and emerging substance trends. Our faculty includes distinguished clinicians, researchers, medical providers, and organizational leaders who shape the direction of care across one of the nation’s largest treatment markets. Each speaker is selected for their ability to deliver practical, evidence-based insights that support real-world application and elevate care across the West Coast and beyond.

Our Advisory Board and Steering Committee help shape the program with insight drawn from California’s diverse treatment landscape. Their guidance ensures the curriculum remains current, practical, and aligned with the evolving needs of behavioral health professionals.
