Description

Understanding Addiction: Why It Happens and How It's Treated with Dr. Connor Brunson

Most of us have been affected by addiction in some way, yet many of us still wonder: Is addiction a choice? Is it genetic? Why do some people become addicted while others don't? What does recovery really look like?
In this Health Talk, Dr. Connor Brunson will answer these questions by explaining how addiction changes the brain, why recovery is often more complex than simply "quitting," and the treatment options available today. Whether you're looking to better understand addiction or support someone you care about, this discussion will provide practical information, address common misconceptions, and offer hope for recovery!

After you've submitted this registration, you will receive emailed instructions on how to join the virtual Webinar.
