CoARS Conference

CoARS hosts an online conference on addiction recovery science, called “National Conference on Addiction Recovery Science (NCARS)”. To our knowledge, this is the first scientific conference focusing on addiction recovery science.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers at all stages of training and experience to exchange ideas and present cutting-edge recovery science research, across the spectrum of alcohol and other substance use disorders and across affected populations. In line with our overall goal for CoARS, the goal of our conference is to build our understanding of the socioecological framework within which recovery takes place.
