Training Information:
Recovery from substance use disorders, including opioid use, is a family affair. However, traditional treatment approaches often focus on the needs of the identified patient to the neglect of the supporting system. In this workshop we will discuss recovery from substance use from a systems perspective, considering the needs of Black families, the intergenerational transmission of addiction, cultural attitudes toward addiction and recovery, and the role of the family system in recovery.

Speakers:
Robert M. Cox, EdD, LPC, LCAS, CCS
Isha Williams, PhD

Location:
Pfeiffer University
1515 Mockingbird Lane
Charlotte, NC 28209

Objectives

• Articulate how the Black family approaches recovery from substance use disorders.
• Implement specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes to support a systems approach to recovery.
• Create and adapt tools for culturally-consistent substance use disorder treatment.
