Name
C24 — Addiction Recovery: An Avenue for Post-Traumatic Growth
Date & Time
Tuesday, October 18, 2022, 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM
Description

Addiction researchers have focused on addictive processes to the neglect of long-term recovery processes. Similarly, post-traumatic growth (PTG) is only recently garnering interest. Clients in addiction treatment will likely experience both recovery and PTG processes; however, counselors may lack awareness on how to facilitate PTG processes in recovery. This presentation will review the comorbid nature of SUDs and trauma before providing insights on PTG in recovery. Attendees will learn and apply evidence-based tools to support PTG in recovery, and engage in discussion on PTG in clients.
