Report
I have been helping individuals and families struggling with the disease of chemical dependency for more than 20 years as a clinician, educator, and program director. In 1986, it was clear to me that I needed to make a fundamental change in my life. I completed a chemical dependency counseling certificate program at Sonoma State University in 1988, then went on to obtain a Mater's Degree in Counseling and to become licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist.I have worked as a therapist in a wide variety of settings, both inpatient and outpatient, including Kaiser Permanente, Ross Hospital, and Mt.
Addiction Treatment
Report
We now know that addiction is a brain disease-chronically, and sometimes permanently, damaging neuroreceptors. This is what causes the hardest part of recovery, dealing with the long lasting, and occasionally permanent, post acute withdrawal syndrome (PAW). PAW causes fatigue, joint and muscle aches, and depression, as well as drug cravings.
