Wellness and Recovery:
Practical Applications for Addictions Professionals

Presented by John Newport, Ph.D., CEAP

Author: The Wellness-Recovery Connection

This presentation focuses on leading edge applications in addictions treatment/sobriety maintenance, drawing on materials presented in Dr. Newport's landmark book The Wellness-Recovery Connection: Charting Your Pathway to Optimal Health While Recovering from Alcoholism and Drug Addiction (Health Communications, Inc., 2004).

FOCUS: This workshop enables participants to bring added value to their treatment programs. It addresses a key reason why millions of people battling alcoholism and drug addiction fail to reap the full benefits of recovery and optimal health: They don't adopt a wellness-oriented lifestyle. Participants learn how to effectively assist clients struggling with addictive disorders in strengthening their recovery and safeguarding against relapse: adding years - if not decades - to their life expectancies.

Length:
Presentation format can run anywhere from a 1½ hour Keynote presentation to a full-day intensive training.

• Research on role of wellness in preventing relapse
• Nutritional foundations for recovery
• Fitness and recovery
• Combating nicotine addiction - the leading cause of death in recovery
• Counselor wellness - AND MORE
