The Super Saturday Recovery Summit Returns this Saturday

By 3 Mins Read

Last month, In the Rooms and Seeking Integrity Treatment Centers presented an online Super Saturday Recovery Summit. The event was an overwhelming success, with three experts on recovery discussing and answering questions on topics related to both early and longer-term sobriety and healing. Approximately 500 people attended each of the three sessions. In response, we are making the recovery summit a monthly event, with our next summit set for Saturday, May 16.

Presenters at this month’s Super Saturday Recovery Summit include Dr. David Fawcett, Rachel Levy, and Lulu Cook.

Dr. David Fawcett, 1 p.m. Eastern

Dr. Fawcett (PhD, LCSW) is Vice President of Clinical Programming for Seeking Integrity Treatment Centers. He is a substance abuse expert, a certified sex therapist, a clinical psychotherapist, and the world’s foremost expert in paired substance/sex behavior (also known as chemsex). His award-winning book, Lust, Men, and Meth, looks at meth abuse and chemsex addiction in the gay community. He is currently writing a more general book about substance/sex behaviors, looking at the drug/sex pairing of all substances (not just meth) with all populations (not just gay men). In his Super Saturday Recovery Summit presentation, Dr. Fawcett will share his expertise on paired substance/sex addiction, discussing and answering questions about the many ways chemsex behaviors manifest. He will also touch on the most commonly experienced consequences and the best approach to long-term recovery.

It is also a warm and caring space where we feel the compassion, understanding, and light for all of us.

    Is there a way to watch the ones I missed?
    I didn’t account for the time difference and missed the first 2!
