Join Us for The True Meaning of Connection

The True Meaning of Connection Wednesday, July 28th 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM They say addiction is a disease of isolation. This is true for the person suffering from the disease of addiction and their family members! Almost every form of recovery – AA, NA, Refuge recovery, SHE Recovery, Celebrate recovery and individual therapy – is based on the principle of connection. This webinar will explore the science behind the importance of connection in the recovery process and how to develop a meaningful connection with oneself and those around us. Participants will leave with real life exercises to increase connection, self-care and vulnerability. Who Should Attend this Program?

Our Moon Landing – 100% Recovery Rates

Caron Treatment Centers Proudly Announces: The Fran and Doug Tieman Center for Research  Our Moon Landing- 100% Recovery Rates Last night at the Richard J. Caron Award of Excellence Dinner, Caron announced the formation of the Fran and Doug Tieman Center for Research to honor our outgoing CEO & President Doug Tieman.  Doug’s commitment to patients and families and their recovery has been central to Caron’s success under his 26-year tenure. Year after year, Caron has continued to invest time and talent to the advancement of research and our understanding about substance use disorder and its treatment.  Under Doug’s leadership, Caron created a professional advisory board, secured research partnerships with academic institutions and the National Institutes of Health, published research findings and laid the foundation to build a formal, full-time, on-site research team. All of these elements have certainly proven to be key catalysts for improving treatment at Caron. However, what if these elements could be complemented with medical research that accurately predicts relapse? What if we could examine specific genes present and determine the likelihood of an opioid addiction? That is the path that Caron is on today and it is the path that will change how addiction and prevention services are provided in the future.   Research at Caron Learn More about The Fran and Doug Tieman Center for Research Meet Our Medical Research Leadership Dr. Joseph Garbely, DO, DFASAM Chief Medical Officer/EVP Medical Research and Education Dr. Olapeju Simoyan, MD, FASAM, MPH, BDS, FAAFP Founding Medical Director of Research Dr. Erin Deneke, LPC, Ph.D. Senior Director of Research Dr. Jonathan Harris, Ph.D. Corporate Director of Neurocognitive Services Join Caron in this cutting-edge endeavor by supporting The Fran and Doug Tieman Center for Research Donate Today caron.org |  800-678-2332
