RecoveryMind Training (RMT) is a way of understanding addiction that is steeped in science and simultaneously respectful of the human condition. Addiction is a brain disease that produces wholesale changes in drives, intent, self-control, learning memory and even one’s world view. RecoveryMind Training combines the latest brain science with effective psychotherapy techniques and twelve-step philosophy. This information is collected into a cohesive treatment system with clear, measurable, and realizable goals.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1) Describe a clear set of definitions and terms that clarify the illness, tasks and goals for addiction care; and,
2) Outline the neural circuits that are commandeered by addiction to result in the characteristic thoughts, emotions and behaviors of the illness.
