Understanding the Dimensions of Successful Recovery

Presenter


Matt Silva, PsyDc, MBA and LPC

As the CEO at Bayside, Matt is a highly respected business and behavioral healthcare professional with extensive experience in the fields of psychology, counseling and addiction. Matt’s background includes having a successful clinical practice as well as serving as CEO in multiple organizations. He has earned a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling, a Master of Business Administration, and most recently, he is completing a Doctorate in Psychology from California Southern University.

One of his primary focuses has been the necessity to view SUD treatment more in terms of Dimensional Recovery rather than strictly a substance use issue.
