Producer: VPA/Brattleboro Retreat
During the past 50 years, a great deal has been learned about the etiology, epidemiology, typology, and phenomenology of addiciton that has uncovered its complex causes, natural history, and highly variable presentation and clinical course. These novel findings have given rise to a number of clinical paradigm shifts and increased awareness of the many pathways through and out of addiction and into remission and long-term recovery. These findings have helped reduce stigmatization of addiction but challenges still remain. This workshop will briefly review the new knowledge gained during the past 50 years and describe how this has led to shifts in cultural understanding of addiction and changes in drug policies, as well as a renewed focus on how to help individuals suffering from alcohol and other drug use disorders achieve stable remission and long-term recovery.
