Preview: The Role of Applied Neuroscience in Addiction Recovery
The Solution for Anyone Seeking to Elevate their Understanding of the Brain’s Role in Addiction and What Can Be Improved to Facilitate Addiction Recovery.
Watch PromoThis 8 course, cross-disciplinary seminar will provide you with a thorough introduction to the role of applied neuroscience, or functional neurology, in addiction recovery.
Providers will gain a better understanding of the brain’s role in addiction and what can be improved to facilitate recovery through the following Course Goals:
- To provide the learner with a through introduction to the role of neuroscience in addiction recovery.
- To educate the learner on the neurological underpinnings and cooccurring learning and behavioral disorders in addiction and substance use disorders.
- To explore assessment methods related to the neurophysiological, cognitive, and metabolic challenges of those seeking recovery.
- To empower the learner with practical applications for use in their clinical environment to assist in the addiction recovery process.
The Role of Applied Neuroscience in Addiction Recovery from Dr. Michael S. Trayford on Vimeo.
"We had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Trayford speak on The Role of Applied Neuroscience in Addiction Recovery at a recent neurology conference. His ideas are timely and relevant to any health provider that encounters addiction in their practice. We highly recommend learning more about his unique, cross-disciplinary, brain-based approaches to addiction recovery and co-occurring learning and behavioral disorders through his online education courses".

He is a published journal contributor, international lecturer, and proud recipient of the 2017/18 Functional Neurologist of the Year award from the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation.
Dr. Trayford’s driving force for the past decade has been bringing together those in the mental health and neuroscience communities to more effectively address the growing challenges faced by those seeking lasting freedom from addiction. He teaches, mentors, and collaborates with many providers and programs across the country seeking neuroscience (neuroplasticity) based approaches to addiction recovery.
Course Curriculum
"I would like to recommend Dr. Michael Trayford and his expertise in functional neurology as it applies to neuro-psychological disorders. His speaking style is easily discernible and applicable to the evaluation, treatment and management of complex neuropsychological conditions. His engaging style allows the learner to understand the neurology, physiology, chemistry and simple algorithms to support short term and long-term conditions. I look forward to his growing body of expert work in clinical practice and online education delivery".
