Because you likely already know a lot about how much addictions have cost you, the purpose here is not to revisit all the ways in which addiction causes pain and suffering. Instead, it’s to help you identify important leverage points for intervention that can make a significant difference in your change efforts.

In this module we explore what we have learned from neuroimaging the brain and its implications for treatment. We also explore how relapse is part of the change process, and the necessity of addressing grief and shame. You will also learn how addictions contribute to relationship challenges, social isolation, and can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to spiritual growth.
