Kevin McCauley

Dr. Kevin McCauley is a physician, educator, and internationally recognized speaker on the neuroscience of addiction and recovery. A graduate of Drexel University School of Medicine, his interest in substance use disorder treatment began while serving as a naval flight surgeon, where he saw addiction addressed as a safety issue rather than a moral failing. In long-term recovery himself, Dr. McCauley has dedicated his career to advancing the understanding of addiction as a brain disease. He has delivered more than 2,000 lectures worldwide and is the writer and director of the educational films Memo to Self and Pleasure Unwoven, the latter of which received the 2010 Michael Q. Ford Award from the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. He has also served as a Senior Fellow with The Meadows since 2016. Dr. McCauley currently lives in Sedona, Arizona, with his wife, Kristine, and recently earned a Master of Public Health from the University of Arizona.
