Course Description
Neurobiology and neuropsychology are teaching us more and more about addiction. This understanding is revealing new aids for recovery, as well as, confirming traditional approaches.
This skills building seminar will give participants a “state of the art” understanding of addiction and how this understanding shapes an evidence-based approach to clinical care. This is an advanced skill training presentation integrating psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, wellness and spiritual approaches to recovery. The goal is to give patients the best possible tools for successful personal recovery.
The participant can expect to learn:
1) The neurobiology of the “Seeking System” (also called the reinforcement system)
and how it impacts the very nature of the brain disease called addiction
2) How addiction progresses involving different neurobiological and neurotransmitter
systems and what this means in regard to treatment.
3) Understand dopamine tone and its utilization in understanding
patient history and selection of psychopharmacological treatment.
4) How new research on prefrontal cortical functioning is related to patient relapse.
5) Treatment planning based upon the level of functioning of the prefrontal cortex.
