Description
Summary:Circuit Breaking presents a paradigm shift from traditional forensic and medical treatments for psychoactive substance abuse. This paradigm teaches that a three-stage neurocircuitry of psychoactive substance abuse is the cause of this abuse. Therapists learn to teach people in treatment to change neurocircuitry within their brains to enable sustained and successful recovery. This neuroscience-informed, non-disease-oriented treatment approach, inspired by evidence-based research, indicates positive neuroplastic changes within one's brain and cognitive change within one's mind create an opportunity for people to cease the abuse.
