Beyond Stigma–Integrating Neurobiology, Genetics, and Awareness Integration Theory in Addiction Recovery

This paper discusses the integration of neurobiology, genetics, and Awareness Integration Theory to address stigma in addiction recovery. It explores how internalized shame affects relapse risk and proposes that combining therapeutic models with genetic screening and psychoeducation can foster resilience and self-acceptance. The resource is intended for readers interested in the intersection of biological predispositions and psychological interventions in treating substance use disorders.
