HSJCC WEBINAR: Addiction: A Match Between Lived Experience and Neuroscience

This presentation seeks to show how the lived experience of addiction reflects the neuroscience that informs us by matching the presenter's lived experience with information from The Surgeon General's Report on Alcohol, Drugs and Health, published in 2016. The presenter will demonstrate how this may also inform treatment.
