Inexpensive, smartphone-based virtual reality rigs may be a useful tool in smoking cessation therapy. More research is needed but this study is highly promising! jmir.org/2020/7/e17571/

Great to talk with our state legislators this morning about the amazing resources available through @UT_SMART. We look forward to UT leading the state in substance misuse efforts and support for our people. Remember: it is OK to not be ok.

There is no health without mental health!
#MentalHealth is just as important as physical health, and asking for help is a normal part of life.
You should never feel like you have to take on the world 🌎 alone.

December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness of the consequences of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In 2019, over 28 million US residents drove under the influence of alcohol or illicit substances at least once.

It is OK not to be OK.
That's the key message from today's Recovery Ally Academy, and it's so important to remember that there is always help for those suffering from substance use disorder.
Together, we can change the stigma around addiction & help the people who need it most.

Happy Memorial Day! Today we honor and remember those who have served, and their families, and have sacrificed to protect the freedom we enjoy each and every day.

Why do we care so much about how drugs affect the #brain 🧠? Drugs can alter important brain areas that are necessary for life-sustaining functions and can drive the compulsive drug use that marks addiction. loom.ly/VrmQky0 #AddictionScience
