The Meadows is sponsoring two breakfasts and lectures with Meadows’ Senior Fellow, Jerry Boriskin, Ph.D., CAS, in Atlanta, Ga., at Maggiano’s on Thursday, April 11, and in Durham, NC, at Maggiano’s on Friday, April 12 from 8:00-10:00 am.
Dr. Boriskin will present “Do You Have What It Takes? The Clinical and Personal Challenges of Treating Co-occurring PTSD and Addiction.” This brief workshop will review the necessary foundations for understanding the scope and nature of PTSD as it co-occurs with addiction. In addition, attendees will be introduced to a multi-dimensional model that can assist in managing the volatile and complex challenges of treating veterans and civilians who struggle with their recovery.
Dr. Boriskin is a licensed psychologist, addiction specialist, author, lecturer, and clinician with expertise in trauma, PTSD, and addictive disorders. He was a pioneer in extending the continuum of care and developed two extended residential treatment programs for co-occurring disorders. A passionate advocate for integrated treatment, he possessed a vision that predated the ongoing movement toward specialized and integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders, particularly those involving trauma.
