“The Physiology of Addiction” will be presented by Dr. Carl Christensen, MD, Ph.D. This program will explore the differences in neurochemistry between the addicted brain and the normal brain, the progression of physiological changes that occur in chemically
dependent individuals, the mechanisms of physiologic tolerance and withdrawal, and the effects of treatment on the addicted brain. 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.
