This video 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.
This webinar explores how grassroots organizations, local leaders, and service providers in rural areas can work together to combat the devastating impact of opioid addiction.
