The summit emphasized the importance of community-driven solutions in combating addiction. Participants shared insights on effective recovery programs, highlighting the need for increased access to treatment and mental health resources. Discussions also covered the integration of preventive measures and long-term support to reduce relapse rates and promote sustainable recovery.
Key topics included:
