the "recovery research triangle" episode
(feat. Quyen Ngo PHD of Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation)
Trigger Warning: All episodes discuss addiction, depression, anxiety, mental health and the recovery process in depth. If there is any additional triggering material that needs noting there will be mention at the beginning of the episode.
Show Up and Stay Co-Founders DeAnn and Craig interview a very special guest, Dr. Quyen Ngo, Executive Director of Research at Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. They cover a lot of ground in 30 minutes:
Trends in Substance Abuse Disorder research including digital solutions and the vagus nerve and the impact of addiction on the nervous system
Experimental research of use of psychedelic in substance abuse disorder treatment
Covid and the expansion of virtual care solutions
Diversity, equity and inclusion in treatment
Integration of existing 12 Step program with CBT with other emerging approaches to long term recovery
Yes, DeAnn does have a cold and yes her nose is plugged, but the show must go on!
Dr. Quyen Ngo leads research activities at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation as the executive director of the Butler Center for Research. She earned her dual PhD in clinical psychology and women's studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where she also completed a NIH post-doctoral research fellowship, and subsequently held a faculty position.
Over the past eight years, Dr. Ngo has conducted NIH grant-funded research on the role of substance use in intimate partner violence and technology- enhanced interventions for substance use disorders; authored 45+ peer-reviewed scholarly publications and several book chapters, and continues to advocate for our most vulnerable populations.
