Workshops & Consultations

Dr. Zvolensky and AHRL staff regularly provide community-based workshop and consultation regarding anxiety and substance use problems.

The AHRL serves principally individuals with anxiety problems, substance use disorders, or the combination of anxiety and substance use problems (comorbid problems). Our mission and focus centers on the dissemination of evidence-based information, training, and community outreach (through consultation). We have previously delivered lectures, workshops and training sessions more generally to a wide variety of individuals and organizations, ranging from community-based mental health agencies (e.g., Northeastern Family Institute) to state-wide health-oriented programs (Vermont Association of Hospitals and Health Systems) to nation-wide specialty organizations (e.g., American Lung Association). More recently, we have been provided training in our evidenced-based care programs for individuals with anxiety and substance use disorders. Rates for workshops and consultations vary depending on the scope of the project. Our staff is equipped to work with organizations to develop programs that best meet individual needs. If you or your organization would like more information about our one of our workshop or consultation programs, please contact us.

On a more limited basis, the AHRL provides brief, time-limited treatment to individuals and families with a wide variety of anxiety and substance use disorders. For example, panic attacks, panic disorder, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, nicotine dependence, cannabis dependence, and alcohol use problems are frequent presenting concerns. We specialize in care adults, ranging from 18 years of age and beyond. However, on select occasions, we also provide services to children and youth. Please also see our Clinical Activities section for recent information about ongoing clinical trials.
