Day One
Understanding the Crisis
Welcome & The Arizona Reality
Opening remarks from summit organizers and Arizona leadership. A data-driven look at the intersection of addiction, crime, and untreated mental illness across the state.
The Science of Addiction: What Every Sector Must Know
DUI Science presents the neurological and behavioral science behind addiction — reframing how law enforcement, courts, and healthcare approach the person in crisis.
Law Enforcement at the Front Line
Officers, sheriffs, and first responders share what they encounter daily — and what tools they need to divert rather than incarcerate.
Lunch & Networking
Never Before Heard: Stories That Change Trajectories
Speak Up Stand Up presents firsthand accounts from individuals whose lives were redirected by the right intervention at the right moment. These are the stories that reframe every policy debate.
The Victim's Voice: Justice, Healing & What We Owe Each Other
Victims and their advocates speak to the full picture — accountability, compassion, and the systems that failed everyone involved.
Evening Reception
Day Two
Building the Intercept
Nova Via: A Model for What Works
Nova Via presents their treatment and recovery framework — evidence-based, community-rooted, and built for the Arizona context.
Elected Officials: Policy, Funding & Political Will
Arizona legislators and officials discuss what systemic change requires — and what they need from every sector in this room to make it happen.
Breakout Tracks: Sector Working Sessions
Parallel working sessions by sector — Law Enforcement, Clinical & Treatment, Justice & Courts, Community & Nonprofits. Each group develops a cross-sector commitment document.
Working Lunch
The Intercept Framework: From Crisis to Wellness
All sectors present their working session outputs. A live synthesis of the cross-sector pipeline — from first encounter to sustained recovery.
