Online Course | Fit PACE – Alcohol, Addiction and Exercise
$49.00
This product is an online, self-study course.
Research has shown the positive influence of exercise on alcohol use disorder (AUD) recovery as well as other drug-related substances. However, qualitative research has been missing which helps persons in the medical and fitness professions to better understand how persons connect exercise performance to their recovery process. This information also leads to better strategic planning programs for recovery, including exercise.
Dr. McCullough has developed the PACE Method to assist persons in recovery who are using exercise as a tool in their process in order to combat not only relapse but also the threat of replacing one addictive behavior with another. Even if exercise is considered “healthy” and there is no current diagnosis for exercise addiction, just like any program planning, there needs to be an appropriate guide to properly integrating exercise into recovery without reaching excess.
