Show Notes

Today, we’re talking about the biology of addiction and recovery with Dr. Evelyn Higgins, who is an internationally recognized expert in the epidemiology of addiction and the Founder of Wired For Addiction®. We’ll discuss everything there is to know about interpreting an individual’s physiology in order to make informed treatment decisions based on objective biomarkers.

Wired For Addiction® specializes in the biological component of mental health and addiction.  Through their patent-pending custom diagnostic panel and treatment process, they address specific biomarkers highly correlated to substance use disorders, process addictions, and mental health conditions. Coupling genetically informed treatment with the traditional modalities available at treatment facilities allows for long-term recovery of an individual suffering from a bio-psycho-social condition. Going far beyond traditional MAT, functional MRIs (or brain mapping), Wired For Addiction® is truly individual to the unique biochemistry of each patient.
