Science of Addiction and Recovery—A Father’s Perspective
Join the SAMHSA Program to Advance Recovery Knowledge (SPARK) initiative this summer for a webinar series for behavioral health professionals and providers working in recovery and peer-run organizations. You are welcome to attend any or all events. This session explores the science of opioid addiction and withdrawal for direct service providers, equipping them with knowledge to better support fathers in recovery.
The session is presented from a “user” perspective by fathers in recovery. It will provide an accessible and easy to understand evidence-based look at how addiction impacts the brain and hijacks the reward system, the challenges of withdrawal and long-term abstinence for persons with opioid use disorder (OUD), the impact of subcultures and stigma on treatment and recovery, and the role of trauma and mental health in sustained recovery.
