PA Emerging Drug Trends Symposium

PA Emerging Drug Trends Symposium

Presented by the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs 

Since 2019, the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs  has convened stakeholders for an annual meeting to discuss changing drug trends.

This symposium will gather stakeholders to review current drug trends, innovative approaches to connect people who use drugs to treatment and other social services, identify gaps in services, and provide a venue for stakeholders to network.

The aim for this event is to ensure that as drug use patterns change, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers and other allied professionals have the knowledge they need to adapt SUD prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction services to meet the needs of people who use drugs.

Plan to join us on March 31, 2026 to explore the latest drug use and overdose trends in Pennsylvania—including shifting patterns in the drug supply and impacts on high-risk populations—and learn evidence-based best practices for responding to emerging drug threats.
