Addiction and the Brain: Understanding the Science of SUD and Recovery (Virtual)

Join PreventEd for a one-hour session that dives into the neurobiology of Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This training moves beyond the “willpower” myth to explore how substances hijack the brain’s communication systems and reward circuitry. By understanding the physiological changes that occur in the brain, participants will gain a deeper perspective on addiction as a treatable medical condition. We will also discuss the power of neuroplasticity, offering a science-backed foundation for long-term recovery.
