Carl Hart on "We Got Hoodwinked: The Problem Is Drug Policy, Not Drugs"
Dr. Carl Hart will speak about the myths concerning drug use and the consequences of contemporary drug policy. Drawing on his scientific work and social analysis, Hart goes beyond the hype to examine the relationship between drugs and pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs and explain why current policies are failing.
Hart teaches in the Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry at Columbia University, and is a Research Scientist in the Division of Substance Abuse at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. He is a member of the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse and on the board of directors of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence and the Drug Policy Alliance. A native of Miami, Hart earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in experimental psychology and neuroscience at the University of Wyoming - http://www.columbia.edu/cu/psychology/fac-bios/HartC/faculty.html
Hart's talk will draw on his 2013 book, High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know about Drugs and Society - highpricethebook.com - in which he writes not only about his academic work but life growing up in one of Miami's toughest neighborhoods and how it led him to his pioneering work in drug addiction. Hart escaped neighborhoods that were dominated by entrenched poverty but has not turned his back on that world since becoming Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences. Determined to make a difference, he applies his science to help save real lives.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by St. James' Episcopal Church; Third Coast Activist Resource Center - ThirdCoastActivist.org ; and the University of Texas Department of Psychology, Warfield Center for African and African American Studies, and Division of Diversity and Community Engagement.
For more information, contact Robert Jensen at rjensen@austin.utexas.edu. If you need accommodations for this event, please contact Betty Jeanne Taylor at bjwtaylor@austin.utexas.edu at least five days in advance.
Location: St. James' Episcopal Church, 1941 Webberville Road, Austin, 78721

Hello all you ADAAP followers,
Here is a little bit of important information to consider when looking for alcohol rehab treatment it is important that an individual check out all that the alcohol rehab facility has to offer. Alcohol rehab can be different at whatever facility a person chooses. An alcohol abuse rehab can have many different meanings and components. A recovery center could mean a long term residential treatment center, short-term inpatient alcohol treatment or treatment programs that could be conducted on an outpatient or intensive outpatient basis.
An alcohol rehab center may treat individuals for alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction treatment or for
substance abuse treatment. You may be asking what does that mean. It means that these types of facilities for the treatment for substance abuse or dependency may not only treat persons with alcohol problems but for other substances as well, these substances may include marijuana, cocaine, heroin, opioid, anabolic steroids, benzodiazepines and a variety of other types of substances.
An addiction treatment center should include a well-rounded program that provides an educational curriculum that addresses the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual components of the disease of addiction. Many rehabilitation programs do not include these components they merely address the behavioral issue. Since alcohol abuse and addiction is more than just a behavioral problem it is imperative that all components be addressed in order to help the individual be successful in their day-to-day lives.
It is important that a substance abuse treatment program includes a family component for a person’s addiction rehab. An individual’s family and support system can make or break their recovery. As professionals in the field of substance abuse rehabilitation we have seen individuals succeed when they are grounded in a strong and stable support system. The opposite is true as well, we have seen many individuals relapse over and over again because they did not have a stable support system, had not dealt with the underlying issues and were unwilling to ask for help. Therefore educating the family and the individual’s support system needs to be addressed if the person truly wants to be successful in their recovery. At Austin Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program we offer individual and family drug and
alcohol counseling to address many of the issues a person may be facing. There are many other
alcohol rehab centers that do not address all the components included in our program.
