RCA's Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Deni Carise will speak about how an integrated approach using evidence-based treatments that include cognitive behavioral therapy, RCA's immersive 12 Step approach and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) are advancing breakthroughs in patient recovery. As RCA's chief scientific officer, Dr. Carise addresses behavioral health experts and healthcare providers nationwide on best practices and efficacy of evidence-based addiction treatments. 

In addition, Annapolis, MD-based interventionist, Joani Gammill, a frequent guest on the Dr. Oz show, will share her personal perspective and impact of interventions she's performed for hundreds of families around the country, advocating to reduce the stigma surrounding substance use disorder and how her own intervention for opioid addiction motivated her to change her life.
