Addiction - From Discovery to Recovery
Department of Psychiatry, University of Florida
Basic and clinical addiction research at the University of Florida's McKnight Brain Institute (MBI) is groundbreaking in the areas of drug abuse, drug effects on the brain and behaviour and addiction as a disease. The Florida Recovery Centre offers comprehensive screening and evaluation of patients with substance abuse disorders and treats patients of all ages. As one of the only academic, university or college-of-medicine-based programs, the center is a leading choice for the treatment of business and medical professionals struggling with drug or alcohol problems, offering specialized recovery groups to focus on their unique needs. FRC has successfully treated hundreds of these professionals, allowing them to get their careers and lives back on track.
