STUDY: DOES EXERCISE INCREASE THE CHANCE OF STAYING CLEAN?
Larissa J. Mooney, MD. and fellows, in partnership with CRI-Help, saw an opportunity to improve treatment outcomes for methamphetamine-dependent individuals through the use of an aerobic exercise plan.

This study was initiated by CRI-Help’s Chairman of the Board, Marcus Sola. He stated, “It must be recognized that we are dealing here not only with typical research subjects, but rather with the most difficult type of addict currently in rehabilitation.
