"As we study the brain we are getting more and more understanding of what this clinical phenomenon is that meth users are dealing with."
Richard A. Rawson, Ph.D.

Richard Rawson is considered the nation's leading authority on treating addiction to meth and other stimulants. In this program he examines in detail the latest research on meth use and brain imaging. He also discusses promising treatment strategies, resources for treatment providers, and the prospects of effective medications.

You'll learn:
*Why an addict's cravings for meth are stronger than cravings for basic survival needs such as food
*The reasons behind the "meth is untreatable" perception
*Why contingency management - positive reinforcement for positive behavior - can help sustain abstinence
*Which treatment protocols work - and which don't

Includes a DVD workshop, a clinician's manual written by Rawson, and a test that allows you to earn continuing education contact hours.
