How do childhood trauma and mental disorders affect health, treatment and social outcomes among people with opioid dependence?

Research has found that people who experience childhood trauma and mental disorders increase the risk of opioid dependence.

This webinar will examine the health, treatment and social outcomes among people with opioid dependence.

Alcohol Change UK’s national online conference

Thursday 2 March 2023

People aren’t hard to reach. We just don’t always reach them.

Speakers will include

Reaching new frontiers in addiction science: bridging the gap to treatment.

CPA has always represented a tremendous opportunity to present exciting research, network with scholars with shared interests, and learn about the latest addiction psychology research.

The CPA community has steadily grown over the past decade, and we invite you to celebrate 11 years of addiction science research with us.

CPA2023 will be held in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during March 23rd – 25th, 2023.

Description

This presentation summarizes the current evidence about the effectiveness of mutual help groups and the mechanisms of action in these groups, including AA, SMART, LifeRing, and WFS. AA is comparably effective to well-implemented CBT. The evidence so far suggests that the other groups are comparably effective to AA. Further studies are in progress. Similar to evidence about common factors in psychotherapy, mutual help groups appear to have common factors. Any freely chosen mutual help group appears likely to be helpful.

Join the global community of stakeholders, focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery.
