Hormones & Relapse

By thoroughly analyzing and compartmentalizing the hormonal shifts women and men undergo, it may be possible to highlight the role these hormones and chemicals play in the process of addiction recovery.

Knowledge of the role hormones play in direct correlation with addiction recovery gives Hanley Center the upper hand during treatment by allowing us to discern the optimal time to begin treatment and receive the most positive response, among other indicators.

The following are some key points and initiatives involved in the Hormonal Shift Assessment collaborative research currently being conducted by Hanley Center:

• Hanley is collecting and studying women’s hormones to further correlations in addiction recovery
• Evaluation of the feminine hormones to isolate key relapse triggers
• Collecting evidence of the impact and role hormones play on the relapse of women addicts
• What is the influence of hormonal shifts upon treatment outcome for women?
• Extend analysis to men
