Addiction 101

“Addiction 101” will be presented by James Balmer; President, Dawn Farm. This program will provide an overview of how we currently approach and historically have approached addiction, treatment and recovery, review addiction as a brain disease, discuss the symptoms produced by use of substances and symptoms that occur during abstinence when adequate treatment and recovery support are not provided, discuss the role of hope in recovery initiation, and discuss and how individuals and communities can help create a community culture that supports sustained recovery. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series.
