According to a press release, the work of ART International, Riverside Recovery and Veterans Alternative will be featured during a Sunday airing of the TV docuseries.
Riverside Recovery is the Seminole Heights addiction and treatment rehab center where, last year, then Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that the state filed a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers and distributors, and Veterans Alternative is the nonprofit founded by former Green Beret Brian Anderson who used accelerated resolution therapy ART to help him cope with combat-related PTSD.
ART — practiced at the nonprofit ART International in Tampa — is a new treatment gaining attention for the way it claims to treat myriad conditions (addiction, PTSD, trauma, depression, phobias, anxiety) using a series of hand and eye movements which helps people reprocess troubling memories and change ingrained behaviors in as few as one to six sessions.
Learn more about ART from PBS, and watch the new episode of Addiction Unplugged when it airs on A&E this Saturday, August 17 at 1:30 p.m. EDT.
