The Kentucky School of Alcohol and Other Drug Studies (KSAODS) is held annually. Each year, more than 900 Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio professionals from the alcohol and drug treatment, mental health, prevention and other related fields gather to hear from national and state leaders on the up-and-coming theories of practice in the behavioral health world.

KSAODS begins on Sunday afternoon with a participant check-in period and a networking reception. Day-long workshops begin Monday morning after an opening plenary session.

Here are a few comments from past participants:

• "There were a wide variety of topics from which to choose.”
• "Registration was easy; it was a good venue, and there were really great trainers.”
• "There was lots of great information for people starting in the field.”

Certificates of Attendance and CEUs will be available for a variety of professional licensure boards.
