Cape Cod Symposium on Addictive Disorders (CCSAD)
In June of 2016, Mr. David Wiss spoke at the West Coast Symposium on Addictive Disorders (WCSAD) in La Quinta, CA. It was a seminal presentation, leading to several new contracts with treatment facilities in the Los Angeles area. The talk was well-received by attendees and thus David was invited to speak at the Cape Cod Symposium on Addictive Disorders which is September 8-11, 2016 in Cape Cod. Please read David’s post about WCSAD HERE. Mr. Wiss is very excited to speak at CCSAD and has made several updates to his slides.
