Presenter(s): Eric Garland, PhD, LCSW

1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits

Dr. Garland will present the clinical approach and research evidence behind Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), an innovative, neuroscience-informed, evidence-based psychotherapy tested in over 12 randomized clinical trials funded by more than $70 million in federal research grants. Dr. Garland will describe how MORE simultaneously targets addictive behavior, emotion dysregulation, and chronic pain by integrating complementary aspects of mindfulness training, CBT, and positive psychology into a structured treatment designed to change brain reward system function. MORE has been shown to reduce opioid misuse by 45%, nearly tripling the effect of standard supportive group therapy.
