SUMMARY:Depletion to Stability: Rebuilding the Body to Support the Brain
DESCRIPTION:This session will provide an evidence‑informed overview of the impact nutrition has on substance use/misuse —including opioids and stimulants— and its role in recovery. We’ll discuss how mood\, recovery and relapse are directly influenced by common nutritional and physiological disturbances such as disrupted eating and activity patterns\, insomnia\, nutrient deficiencies\, weight and metabolism imbalances\, dieting\, blood sugar instability\, cravings\, and gut problems. We’ll explore the science\, learn to recognize and apply actionable tools to help improve treatment outcomes and reduce relapse vulnerability.  Practical\, low‑barrier resources\, strategies and interventions will be discussed that integrate nutrition into care without adding burden to staff or clients including brief nutrition education\, fiber and protein “anchors\,” complex carbohydrates and blood sugar regulation\, hydration\, accessible snacking and budget‑friendly meal planning suitable for clients in real‑world treatment settings. \nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of the session\, participants will be able to: \n\nExplain the negative consequences of poor nutrition in substances of use\, with attention to opioid and stimulant-specific effects.\nIdentify common nutritional and physiological factors that positively influence mood\, recovery and relapse related to substance use.\nImplement simple\, actionable tools that help integrate nutrition strategies and interventions into care to improve treatment outcomes without adding burden to staff or clients.\n\nPresented by: Annie R.
