ONDCP deputy director to address attendees at National Cocaine, Meth, & Stimulant Summit

In an effort to combat the crisis of stimulant addiction, Healthcare Made Practical (HMP), a leader in healthcare events and education, on Thursday announced the Institute for the Advancement of Behavioral Healthcare (IABHC), an HMP subsidiary, has secured Jim Carroll, deputy director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) as a presenter for the inaugural National Cocaine, Meth, & Stimulant Summit, Nov. 12-14, 2018, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Carroll was nominated to the role of ONDCP Director by President Donald Trump earlier this year. His confirmation is currently before the Senate. His address will include the White House perspective on combatting the proliferation of these substances even as the opioid crisis continues to dominate headlines.
 
“While much of recent media has focused on prescription opioids, heroin, and fentanyl, the use of stimulants such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs has been ballooning at an alarming rate,” said Doug Edwards, Director, IABHC. “Deputy Director Carroll’s participation at the Stimulant Summit demonstrates the importance of this issue and the seriousness with which it is being addressed at the highest levels of government. His address will underscore the Summit’s goal of bringing national awareness to this under-recognized drug crisis.”
