Dr. Kevin McCauley - CLEAR Lecture

Dr. Kevin McCauley has worked in the addiction field for over 20 years and has over 10 years of continuous sobriety.  He served as a Naval Flight Surgeon for the Marine Corps where he witnessed pilots self-report and recover from addiction.  This observation destroyed his medical school prejudice that "addicts never ask for help and once an addict, always an addict."  When he found himself addicted to opiate pain medications following a surgical procedure, he was imprisoned by the Marine Corps in solitary confinement, court-martialed, and transferred to the US Army's maximum-security prison in Kansas.  Once released the Navy paid for Kevin's treatment, for which he will be always grateful.

Currently, Dr. McCauley is the Director of Program Services at New Roads Behavioral Health and lecturers on the neuroscience of addiction and recovery management concepts.  He authored numerous books including: My Slice of Cheese:  The Ultimate Sobriety Check-Off List (2016), Addiction:  New Understandings, Fresh Hope, Real Healing (2007), and numerous audio and CDs including:  Memo to Self: Protecting Sobriety with the Science of Safety and the awarding winning Pleasure Unwoven:  An Explanation of the Brain Disease of Addiction.

Kevin continues to assist pilots with substance abuse disorders through his collaboration with the Air Line Pilots Association's HIMS Program.  He is married and lives in Hawaii.

Dr. Kevin McCauley will be in Pitsburgh on October 16, 2019 where he will share his experience, knowledge and hope.
