Join us for a webinar on August 28th at 1 p.m. ET to learn about the biological, psychological, and social needs of individuals in treatment and recovery from a substance use disorder with Dr. James H. Berry, Professor and Chair of the Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry and the Director of Addictions at the West Virginia University School of Medicine. The biopsychosocial model addresses the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to many chronic illnesses, including addiction. Biopsychosocial recognizes there are multiple pathways to addiction, such as genetic predisposition, psychiatric and psychological factors like trauma or unhealthy coping skills, and social factors like having substance-using peers. Join us to hear from Dr. Berry about these three critical domains in recovery and the need to build individualized, tailored treatment plans.
