Back in the summer of 1992, we published the premier edition of the Addiction Treatment Forum newsletter. With our next edition, Fall 2011, we’re going exclusively electronic—so this, our 70th newsletter, is the last printed version you’ll receive. And it’s one of our best.
We’re excited about going green, going electronic, and keeping pace with the changing times. We’re helping to conserve our natural resources, and taking part in the many technological innovations that speed the flow of information in the addiction treatment field.
Let’s Blog!
Beginning with our Premier Edition, collaboration has been a key commitment to our colleagues and readers. As publishers, we’ve found communication to be a great way to generate innovative ideas and provide meaningful, practical, and effective solutions for the health care problems voiced by our readers and by the addiction-treatment community.
So, to improve our communication channels, we’re converting the AT Forum newsletter and news updates to a blog format. Each article will have a comments section for you to voice your opinions.
We’ll also be posting online surveys displaying real-time results on hot topics.
