In March of 2023, our Advanced Recovery Institute, an entity of the Root Center for Advanced Recovery dedicated to research and training, awarded a $100,000 grant to Dr. Yifrah Kaminer and his team at UCONN for his study on, "Youth Opioid Overdose: Implementing Overdose Suicide Risk Assessment Solutions".
This grant was a first of its kind for Root Center, and we are thrilled to announce the study has now been published in the American Journal on Addictions from the The American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry.
Special thanks to the University of Connecticut and Dr. Kaminer for their work on this important topic.

The Advanced Recovery Institute seeks to elevate clinical care and patient outcomes by conducting research and sponsoring mental health and substance use disorder training and education programs. As an initiative of the Root Center for Advanced Recovery, the Advanced Recovery Institute leverages and freely shares the clinical insights gained from treating 5,500 patients per day, training hundreds of practitioners, and participating in dozens of research programs each year.
We take pride in the research we fund and the thought leaders we host in all of our initiatives, and we look forward to continuing this groundbreaking work to educate and inform on these important topics.
