SUMMARY:BBL: Opioids\, Addiction & Clinical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:with Cassio Campello\, MD\, LAC \nBrown Bag Lunch Series\nMarch 12\, 2025 12:00 – 1:00 pm \nOn Zoom Only – 1 CE \nParticipation is FREE. There is a $17 ADMIN FEE for each CE. \n\nAddiction is a complex bio-psycho-social condition influenced by neurobiological\, psychological\, and environmental factors. This Brown Bag Lunch will explore opioid addiction through affective neuroscience and neuropsychoanalysis\, drawing on the insights of Jaak Panksepp and Mark Solms to enhance our understanding and treatment approaches. \nPanksepp’s research highlights how opioid use disrupts the SEEKING system\, leading to compulsive substance use driven not only by pleasure but also by the need to alleviate distress and emotional instability. Solms further explains that addiction often reflects challenges in self-regulation and executive functioning\, where cravings can override impulse control. \nWe will examine the neural mechanisms of opioid dependence\, the psychological drivers of drug-seeking behavior\, and the social factors influencing recovery. Our focus will be on trauma-informed\, strengths-based\, and person-centered interventions to support individuals facing opioid addiction. \nJoin us for an engaging discussion on addiction and treatment. \n\nCourse Objectives – Participants will be able to: \n\nIncorporate the bio-psycho-social framework of opioid addiction\, when assessing clients\, examining the interplay between neurobiological vulnerabilities\, psychological factors\, and social determinants in the development of substance abuse disorders.\nApply insights from affective neuroscience and neuropsychoanalysis to deepen clinical understanding of opioid addiction.\nRecognize the impact of emotional dysregulation and social isolation on substance misuse behaviors.\nIdentify some holistic approaches that address both neurobiological and psychosocial factors: evidence-based\, trauma-informed\, and person-centered interventions that support individuals struggling with opioid dependence in recovery.\n\n\nCassio Campello\, MD\, LAC \nCassio Campello de Menezes is a certified anesthesiologist in Brazil and a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in New Jersey\, currently training as a psychoanalyst at the Academy of Clinical and Applied Psychoanalysis (ACAP).
