Opioid misuse among people with chronic pain helped fuel the current opioid epidemic, but evidence-based treatments are lacking. Ph.D., LCSW, Distinguished Endowed Chair in Research at the University of Utah College of Social Work, recently visited ³Ô¹ÏÍø Atlantic to detail the clinical efficacy and neurobiological mechanisms of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (), an integrative health intervention he developed through a decade-long, NIH-funded treatment development process to target the reward dysregulation underpinning addiction, emotional distress, and pain. The hybrid event was presented by the College of Social Work & Criminal Justice in partnership with the Schmidt College of Medicine.
