Its only a matter of time before addiction puts a halt to almost any healing process until addressed.  The roots of addiction run profoundly deep and cannot be addressed with superficial action.

We live in a world in which addiction is not only pervasive, but encouraged by personal, interpersonal, economic and global forces.  It hasn't been effectively addressed through "normal" means like herbs, pills, diet plans, exercise routines or willful denial of behavior.  Something much more is at play...

Addiction is largely misunderstood and for good reason.  Its causes are often veiled, mysterious and take on an extremely personal form.  Healing professionals from every walk have long struggled with their approach to addiction and addictive behavior.  Relapse rates are very high and remission rates are very low....but there are a few bright spots that show a method that is dramatically more effective than simply "quitting."  

Victor Briere, A.D. will facilitate an exploration process on the disease of addiction as Ayurveda sees it, how Ayurveda addresses it, and how to apply those insights into your professional and personal life.
