This professional workshop will provide an introduction to mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and their utility in addiction management. The discussion will include an overview of mindfulness theory and relevant neurological and psychological mechanisms. A survey of the current literature will provide attendees with an evidence-based understanding of MBIs. A discussion of strategies within behavioral medicine will highlight current and potential clinical implications and opportunities for the incorporation of MBIs. Finally, specific MBIs will be taught to attendees in a workshop setting to begin developing the skills necessary to include mindfulness therapy in addiction management.
James E. Eubanks, Jr. DC, MS
Dr. Eubanks completed his undergraduate education at Furman University in Greenville, SC, where he earned a BA in philosophy and pre-medical studies. During this time, he trained as a crisis intervention counselor through the Greenville Mental Health Association and performed volunteer work for Greenville County. He subsequently began formal training in mindfulness meditation under the late Ryugen C. Fisher, and David E. Shaner PhD. In 2005, he moved to St. Louis to attend Logan University, earning a BS and MS in sports science and rehabilitation, and a doctor of chiropractic (DC) degree. In 2006, Eubanks founded a 501(c)3 educational non-profit organization in St. Louis to offer instruction in mindfulness-based training for stress management.
After completing his education in St. Louis, Dr. Eubanks moved to Charlotte, NC in 2010 and joined an established practice as a non-surgical spine specialist, maintaining a specific interest in the psychosocial dimensions of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Mindfulness-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) were incorporated into his "Applied Mindfulness Program" (AMP) for chronic pain patients. He is currently completing a three-year post-graduate training program in "Spine Diagnostics and Clinical Management" under the direction of Craig D. Brigham MD, senior spine surgeon at OrthoCarolina Spine Center and spine section chief of the Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) orthopaedic residency program.
In 2012, Dr. Eubanks joined the OrthoCarolina Research Institute (OCRI) as a consultant to a longterm partnership between OCRI and CareCore National; this effort involves a comprehensive evidence-based guideline development project for musculoskeletal medicine and pain management. He is a co-investigator in a clinical study examining the effects of framing and bias in the delivery of patient education by physicians, and its influence on patient decision-making.
