Navigating the world of addiction diagnosis, treatment and recovery can be challenging for the person who has the addiction, their family and anyone who wants to help. 

It’s even more difficult if the individual with the addiction is also living with an intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD). But there is hope. And there is help. 

Find out more during Understanding Addiction and Disabilities: A Specialized Curriculum for People Living with IDD and Substance Use Disorders (SUD), on Tuesday, September 26 (3-4 p.m. ET). 

Hosted by the National Council’s IDD Interest Group, this webinar will feature guest speakers, Peggy Terhune and Todd Posey from Monarch, a leading provider of services for people with IDD and SUD. 

Monarch has developed tailored curriculum that provides dual-diagnosis support for individuals with IDD and an SUD. Join us to learn more about this first-of-its-kind program!
