Dana Point Rehab Campus Announces the Dr. Biroc Column: Gain an Expert's Insight on Addiction and Recovery

DANA POINT, Calif., March 20, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Dana Point Rehab Campus is proud to announce that one of its therapists will be writing a biweekly column about his professional experience with treating substance use disorders and addiction. The column, written by Dr. John Biroc, will be published to the official website for Dana Point Rehab Campus — a leading drug and alcohol rehab center in Orange County, California.

Dr. Biroc is a published author who holds two master’s degrees in theater and psychology, as well as a doctorate in psychology from the University of Southern California. He has taught and lectured on effective approaches to addiction and recovery at UCLA, California State University, Northridge, and Antioch University. He has also worked as a contract therapist for a number of mental hospitals in California.

Dr. Biroc started a biweekly column with the goal of helping people understand more about addiction and recovery — including the many different treatment options available, and which therapies address unique components of each type of substance use disorder. His first blog post entitled “Overall Look at Drug and Alcohol Addiction: How on earth did this happen?” was published on March 12, 2020, and is an excerpt from his unpublished book, Understanding Addiction and Recovery.

Dana Point Rehab Campus is an accredited treatment center with detox and inpatient residential rehab programs that are customized for each patient to support a successful and healthy long-term recovery from addiction.
