PRESENTATION: Cognitive neuroscience, where psychology meets biology, has enabled us to clarify some the biological basis for substance abuse and other addictive behaviors.  This workshop will examine connections between the brain changes and psychological/emotional/behavioral components of addictive disorders.  The progression of these disorders will be discussed, along with their increasing resistance to change and the implications for treatment.  Participants will develop strategies for helping clients loosen the grip of addictive disorders. As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

• List brain structures implicated in these disorders and their roles.
• Describe the actions of drugs of abuse.
• Describe the role of psychotropic meds and their value in treating these disorders
