The Recovery Village Educational Series
The Recovery Village offers online and in-person educational opportunities to help medical professionals stay up to date with the latest advancements in their fields and earn continuing education credits. We also offer community education for anyone interested in addiction and mental health topics.
What Are Continuing Education Events?
At The Recovery Village, we know how important it is for medical professionals to stay current on the latest trends and treatment protocols in their fields. To help, we offer a series of continuing education opportunities in our local communities, led by our team of doctors, clinicians and trusted partners. Each presentation is designed to keep you on the forefront of advancements in the following fields: substance abuse, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders and other co-occurring mental health issues.
In 2022, Advanced Recovery Systems launched ARS University – a free online addiction and mental health education platform dedicated to keeping you up-to-date on issues and trends in these fields. Whether you’re a professional seeking continuing education or an individual looking to learn more to support yourself or someone you care about, you can find information here. We welcome you to sign up at no cost to take advantage of our weekly webinars, both live and on-demand, and engage in our community.
