SMART Recovery Webinar: Addiction and the Brain, Focus on Opiates

MENTOR, Ohio - May 31, 2017 - PRLog -- SMART Recovery is delighted to present its new webinar:

Addiction and the Brain: a Focus on Opiates with Dr. Christopher J. Tuell, from the Lindner Center of HOPE.

Saturday, June 24, 5:00 PM EDT

Our upcoming online Summer Special Event promises to be a fascinating and far-reaching discussion, beginning with a look at today's opiate epidemic. From there, Dr. Tuell will highlight the relationship between mental health and addiction and how they intersect. We hope the conversation will add to awareness of the ways in which addiction shows itself – in today's opiate crisis, but much more broadly.

Most important, we hope to carry a message of hope and encouragement, to shine a lens on compassionate and respectful ways to engage when people have trouble dealing with the pressures of our complicated society.

As Clinical Director of Addiction Services at Lindner Center of HOPE, Dr. Chris Tuell provides mental health and addiction psychotherapy services to a wide variety of treatment populations. Dr. Tuell is also Assistant Professor at the University of University of Cincinnati 's Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience.
