Thursday October 3, 2013 at 1pm PDT, 3pm CT, and 4pm ET. Duration is 90 minutes. The webinar is offered through the Behavioral Health Nutrition Dietetic Practice Group of The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and is approved for CPEs upon completion of quiz afterwards.
Description:
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics published a position paper in 1990 supporting the need for nutrition intervention during treatment and recovery from chemical dependency. The paper promoted the concept that Registered Dietitians are important members of the treatment team and that nutrition education should be integrated into the curriculum rather than “patched on”. Nutrition professionals were urged to “take aggressive action” to increase their involvement in treatment and recovery programs, yet the recommendations were not widely embraced or implemented. In the past 20 years, there has been little progress in incorporating dietitians into drug rehabilitation programs, despite the continued rise in illicit drug abuse. In recent years, research that directly connects food with addiction has gained acceptance and increased public awareness. The purpose of this webinar is to help promote the inclusion of registered dietitians in public and private sector drug and alcohol treatment centers, and to propose intervention guidelines during addiction recovery.
