“What is Addiction?”

Thomas Higdon is a group facilitator for SMART Recovery, an evidence-based peer support group for people struggling with addictive behavior, which meets every Saturday at 10 am at BES.  He will briefly summarize the models of addiction (e.g. moral, medical, and biopsychosocial) and discuss how our choice of model guides our public policy, treatment programs, and the way we treat people struggling with addiction.
