  Behavioral Addictions

  Location:  MHA 912 Scott Street, Covington, KY 41014

  Presenter: Chris Tuell, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, Clinical Director of Addiction Services - Lindner Center of Hope

  Process addictions, like chemical addictions, involve behaviors which become compulsive, out of control, and are continued despite the negative consequences. Sexual addiction, problem gambling, compulsive spending, along with the Internet, have introduced the addiction counseling field to this new realm of addictive behaviors and the devastating impact it has upon the client, the family, and society in general.  This presentation will examine the latest research on the addictive brain and the ramifications it has for process addictions.  The CUBIS Model of Addiction will be discussed, along with the co-occurring disorder components which justify an integrated approach to mental health disorders and addiction.  A review of behavioral addiction research will be discussed, along with case studies. Participants will understand the key issues associated with individuals exhibiting Behavioral Addictions, as well as the unique characteristics of each type. Participants will learn the similarities and differences between Behavioral and Chemical Addictions and the implications it has upon treatment strategies and become more familiar with the power of the Internet and what implications this has for assessment and treatment.
