“Addiction 101” will be presented by James Balmer; President, Dawn Farm. This program will examine the dynamics of drinking and drug use, review addiction as a brain disease and describe the process of recovery from chemical dependency. Participants will
learn how individuals experience drinking and drug use, gain an understanding of the basic process and diagnosis of addiction, gain a basic understanding of how the brain functions in a person with alcohol/other drug addiction, and become familiar with the
tools utilized to treat addiction. This program is part of the FREE, annual Dawn Farm Education Series. Anyone with a personal or professional interest is welcome to attend! Registration is not required. 1.5 hours of free C.E. approved by MCBAP (Michigan Certification
Board for Addiction Professionals) is offered for each program. A certificate to document attendance is provided on request. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.
