NAADAC is excited to announce that Kevin McCauley, MD, will be presenting a keynote session entitled The Brain and Recovery: An Update on Neuroscience of Addiction at the upcoming NAADAC 2019 Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida, taking place from September 28 - October 3, 2019.

Addiction shows us how the brain constructs pleasurable experiences, what happens when this process goes wrong, and why this can have a dramatic impact on our ability to make proper choices. In his presentation, Dr. McCauley will cover the current neuroscientific models of this brain disorder and the links between the pathophysiology of addiction to the symptoms of SUD as listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
