Findings in neuroscience over the past 15 years have clearly shown that addiction is a brain disorder, with similar findings characteristic to all those who suffer from it. Nonetheless, clinicians working in addiction treatment rarely incorporate neuroscience-informed approaches into their practice.  We describe a novel residential program design employing rigorous sources from the academic literature, based on a framework of robust neuroscience matched with behavioral science, presented and tailored to individual life experience.
