Description
When individuals enter treatment they often experience a great deal of ambivalence, and post-acute withdrawal from opioid use also makes it difficult for clients to feel comfortable in their bodies. In this presentation, participants will hear about the movement and mindfulness-based program interventions delivered by a women’s recovery center. Based on best practices and current research, participants will be guided through the why and how of movement and mindfulness programming with clients. Clinicians in all levels of care will benefit from learning about experiential therapy and the key elements to implement for opioid use disorder clients.
