It’s like it was tailor-made, just for us! At Vinland’s substance use disorder/addiction treatment centers (both residential and outpatient) we specifically treat those with brain injuries and other, cognitive deficits. What we’ve learned in our 30 year in the business, is that every brain injury is unique. For some, the brain injury may affect short term memory or the ability to read & write like before the injury. For others it can cause significant behavioral changes, seizures, and be the cause of other physical difficulties. Adding alcohol and street drugs to the mix simply makes things worse. At Vinland, we have experience in being able to ‘un-twist’ these issues and help you tackle both at the same time. We often say that the education we offer clients on their brain injury is almost as important as the education we provide on addiction.
Because March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month, our friends at the MN Brain Injury Alliance are offering a series of virtual sessions via Zoom to celebrate #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth#CelebratingResiliency during this month. Sessions are designed for everyone, be it a person with a brain injury, a family member, and professionals in the brain injury field. Continuing Educational Units (CEUs) are available from the Minnesota Board of Social Workers and the Minnesota Department of Health. Sessions will take place March 11 through March 30, from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Each session will be $25, or $125 for all six.
