#107 – Dr. Joe Volpicelli: Recovery Options

Recovery Survey

Dr. Volpicelli has spent the last twenty-five years as a pioneer in clinical research, education, and practice. He has served as an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and Senior Scientist at the Pennsylvania VA Center for Research on Addictive Disorders. He has led the way in the integration of medications with psychotherapy support to treat addictions. His research on the use of naltrexone led to the first new medication to be approved by the FDA for alcohol treatment in nearly fifty years. After twenty-five years at Penn, Dr. Volpicelli decided to put theory to practice as he opened the Volpicelli Center in 2009.

Dr. Volpicelli is a featured author of over 100 academic publications and two of his own books, “Recovery Options: The Complete Guide” and “Combining Medication and Psychosocial Treatments for Addictions: The BRENDA Approach.”
