CEU Webinar | Exercise Prescription for Addiction Recovery

$9.95$19.95

Research has shown the benefits of exercise when used as a tool for substance abuse recovery treatment. Dr. McCullough developed the Fit PACE (proactive awareness controlling excess) method which is now an academic textbook and cell phone app, used to program design exercise for persons in the recovery population. Fit PACE addresses important contraindications to consider including exercising in excess and using exercise as a replacement therapy.

A person will remain in recovery for the rest of their life, which means exercise can be part of a comprehensive treatment program/lifestyle change to sustain abstinence from alcohol and drugs.
