Description

Join William Cope Moyers, New York Times best-selling author and recovery advocate, alongside his longtime addiction psychiatrist, Dr. David Frenz, for an unfiltered, eye-opening dialogue on what it truly takes to heal from opioid use disorder.

Together, they bridge the gap between clinical theory and lived experience, pulling back the curtain on their doctor-client relationship to reveal how trust, evidence-based care, and long-term support save lives.  

Whether you are a practitioner looking to sharpen your engagement strategies,  advocate passionate about transformation, or a family member or individual with lived experience, this unique session offers the practical tools and raw perspectives you need to make a positive, lasting difference.

Who is this event intended for? 

  • Practitioners: Sharpen your engagement strategies and expand your clinical toolkit with proven, evidence-based approaches.
  • Advocates: Deepen your understanding of systemic recovery support to drive meaningful change in your community.
  • Family Members: Gain clarity, hope, and practical insight into navigating the long-term realities of a loved one's journey.
  • Individuals in Recovery: Connect with an authentic, empowering perspective on the many shapes a lasting recovery journey can take.

What will I learn from attending?

  • Unfiltered Insights: Hear first-hand how a powerful therapeutic alliance evolves and is necessary for recovery.
  • Clinical Strategies: Learn actionable, evidence-based practices to effectively engage individuals at every stage of substance use disorder.
  • Real-World Complexity: Gain a deeper understanding of the non-linear, multi-faceted nature of long-term healing.
