Join the premier experts on trauma and addiction treatment and discover how to offer deep healing during this unprecedented time
 

We’re experiencing traumatic stress like never before, leading to a historic rise in addictions and addictive behaviours of all kinds...

...And the link between these two is clearer than ever before.

At the heart of addictive behaviours — from drugs and alcohol to sex, love, and technology addictions, to eating disorders, self-injury and more...

You’ll frequently find unresolved trauma, abuse, and a history of pain.

The fact is, if you’re treating traumatized people, you’re often also working with addictive behaviours.

And if you’re an addiction professional, it’s extremely likely you're working with trauma.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join us, along with thousands of your colleagues, for a rare opportunity to train with the senior faculty from The Meadows Behavioral Health, whose time-tested treatment model is unparalleled in creating successful outcomes that translate to lasting recovery.

Now, in the premier conference on trauma and addictions for 2020, you’ll learn the proven methods, used by the world’s premier treatment provider, that help heal:

  • Traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression
  • Drug and alcohol addictions
  • Love & sex addictions
  • Technology addictions
  • Race-based trauma
  • Self-harm (non-suicidal self-injury)
  • Eating disorders
  • And much more

 

You’ll be inspired, refreshed, and rejuvenated as you learn the transformative interventions used at The Meadows, the nation's premier treatment centre, to heal the most oppressive traumatic stress and addictive behaviours.

Gabor Maté
The Seven Myths of Addiction: A Special Closing Keynote Address
 

For twelve years, Dr. Maté was the staff physician at a clinic for drug-addicted people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where he worked with patients challenged by hard-core drug addiction, mental illness, and HIV, including at Vancouver Supervised Injection Site.

In his recent bestselling book In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts, he draws on cutting-edge science to illuminate where and how addictions originate and what they have in common. Contrary to what is often claimed, the source of addictions is not to be found in genes, but in the early childhood environment where the neurobiology of the brain’s reward pathways develops and where the emotional patterns that lead to addiction are wired into the unconscious. Stress, both then and later in life, creates the predisposition for addictions, whether to drugs, alcohol, nicotine or to behavioural addictions such as shopping or sex. Helping the addicted individual requires that we appreciate the function of the addiction in his or her life.

Once we recognize the roots of addiction and the lack it strives (in vain) to fill, we can develop a compassionate approach toward the addict, one that stands the best chance of restoring him or her to wholeness and health.
