The Road to Recovery 2006 series will air 9 Webcasts supporting the 17th annual observance of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. In addition to the Webcasts, visitors can pose questions about each Webcast to an expert in the field through our interactive feature—Ask the Expert. Videocassette tapes and DVDs are available for a nominal cost-recovery fee, and can be ordered online.

All Webcasts premiere the first Wednesday of each month and will be archived for viewing at any time immediately afterwards. The 2006 season will air nine Webcasts, featuring panels of nationwide experts from the field.

Join host Ivette Torres, Associate Director for Consumer Affairs, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for these informative webcasts. Web chat hosts vary by topic.

Each month we will feature an Ask the Expert, whereby you can get answers to your questions about the topics covered in the latest 2006 Road to Recovery Webcast. Submit your questions using our anonymous online form, and answers from our expert will be posted by the end of the month.
