Description

Join Nicole Golden, author of the Drug and Alcohol Recovery Fitness Specialist course, offered by the Medfit Education Foundation, for an informative session to explore exercise as medicine in the treatment of substance use disorders. Together, we will review the effectiveness of exercise as an adjunct therapy for drug/alcohol use disorders, evaluate which exercise modalities are most effective for which individuals depending on history and substance(s) used, review what is happening physiologically, and identify resources to aid in the development of fitness programs in the inpatient and outpatient treatment settings.

Target Audience

  • Psychologists (APA)
  • Social Workers (ASWB)
  • NY SW, NY MHC, NY MFT

Learning Objectives

1. Describe recent research highlighting the efficacy of exercise as an adjunct treatment for substance use disorders
