.

This special preconference meeting has been developed by the
National Alliance of Methadone Advocates (NAMA) in collaboration with other
advocacy groups to present concepts that programs can use to promote positive
patient outcomes and consumer satisfaction that will be a major focus for the
new accreditation system. Ways for providers to develop consumer satisfaction
including patient recognition ceremonies, 12 step groups, patient advisory
boards, patient advocacy groups and patient organizing drives are some of the
strategies that can be utilized by providers and patients to work together. The intended audience for this
presentation includes program directors, medical personnel, doctors, nurses,
counselors, social workers, administrative staff, patients, advocates and anyone
else interested in the methadone field. This meeting will greatly enhance the
ability of providers and patients to become one community with the common goal
of creating the best methadone system possible.
