LAS VEGAS, Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- David Marlon,
M.S., MBA, addictionologist, was elected president of the State of
Nevada Association of Addiction Professionals (SNAAP). Marlon, CEO
of Solutions Recovery Treatment Center and Resolutions of
Las Vegas, was nominated and voted
into the yearlong position unanimously by the SNAAP board.
"The National Institute on Drug Abuse reported that in 2016 over
64,000 people died of drug overdoses," said Marlon. "These deaths
are not even the full reach of addiction. As president my goal is
to bring the Nevada treatment
community together to more efficiently impact this disease."
As president, Marlon's responsibilities will include:
- Representing Nevada at the
National Association of Addiction Professionals annual meeting
- Chairing monthly SNAAP meeting, which facilitates the exchange
of ideas, event planning, and community collaboration for increased
access to treatment
- Increased access to education and resources for counselors,
therapists, and clinicians of Nevada
"Another one of my goals for SNAAP will be to facilitate the 'No
Wrong Door' mentality, which means that if a person struggling with
addiction or mental illness comes to one of us, we don't push them
out and we work as a community together to refer to each other,"
said Marlon. "We can all treat clients together and help every
individual in every way that we can. This is why we named
'Solutions Recovery' as such, even if you don't have the insurance
we take, we still help you or refer you to the right place in a
proactive way."
SNAAP is dedicated to the development of addiction focused
professionals by unifying and empowering them to achieve
professional excellence through education, ethics in diversity, and
standards of practices through professional development and
research. SNAAP is an affiliate of NAADAC. By joining SNAAP, you
are also member of NAADAC.
