Understanding Chronic Relapse by Dr. Mark Thomas, PH.D. & Drew Horowitz, MA, LADC, LPCC, CIP

 

About the Event

During this presentation, Drew Horowitz, MA, LADC, LPCC, CIP and Mark Thomas Ph.D. with the University of Minnesota, will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of how addictive substances alter the brain and the challenges encountered when intervening and exploring solutions to chronic relapse and behavioral health conditions. This presentation will focus on key concepts in research on the addictive brain and how these changes can lead to substance use relapse. Participants will learn how to compassionately engage with clients, recognize ineffective behaviors, and will guide clinicians on modalities and understanding during active use and chronic relapse. Through anecdotes, best practices and experiential activities, participants will establish a base of knowledge on how to recognize the patterns of relapse, how to practice a biological approach of compassion with clients and a gain fresh understanding of the brains function during patterned relapse. Attendees will benefit with a stronger tool set and education on research to better break patterns in order to aid clients into breaking the relapse cycle and embark on a successful life in recovery.

 

Training Objectives

  1. Participants will understand the physiological activity of an addictive brain, focusing on the research specifically related to chronic relapse.
  2. Participants will be able to recognize debilitating behaviors that are significant in recognizing triggers and patterns in relapse.
  3. Participants will explore the impact of science and behavioral health as a powerful combination towards healing.
  4. Participants will be able to develop communication based on proven research as well as successful methodologies on intervening with clients who struggle with relapse.
