Webinar: Genetics of substance use disorder and neurotransmitter solution

Submitted by DBHR Athena Adm... on Fri, 09/27/2019 - 09:16

Recently released genetic testing specific to Reward Deficiency Syndrome (RDS) now allows us to test for predispositions to specific substances, as well as impulsive and compulsive behaviors, and a spectrum of mental health disorders. With this testing we can also propose targeted precision solutions to restore neurotransmitter homeostasis through neuro-nutrients for each person’s specific DNA profile. With proper neurotransmitter balance, cravings, impulsions, compulsions, behaviors, and moods can be addressed and thereby further enhance the success rates for recovery from SUDs as well as prevent the journey into initial substance use disorders. Relapse prevention and general prevention can be greatly aided through this precision approach to neurotransmitter homeostasis.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the genetics and epigenetics of impulsive and compulsive behaviors.
  • Recognize the neurochemical processes involved in Reward Deficiency Syndrome.
  • Learn practical solutions and proper applications to resolve genetic predispositions to compulsive and addictive behaviors.
