Making It All Add Up: The Behavioral Stages of the Addiction Process

Join FEI Knoxville as we welcome Webster Bailey, Executive Director of Metro Drug Coalition, for an engaging and thought-provoking session.

Drawing on his leadership experience in one of East Tennessee’s most influential substance-use prevention organizations, Webster offers a clear, compassionate perspective on addiction as a progression of behavioral stages often unfolding long before the consequences are visible.

This session explores the questions we all ask when witnessing addiction: How did they get here? Why can’t they just stop? By breaking down these behavioral patterns, attendees will gain insight into how addiction develops, why it’s so difficult to interrupt, and how earlier awareness can change outcomes.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, human-centered discussion that challenges assumptions and leaves you thinking differently about behavior, leadership, and decision-making, this is a session you won’t want to miss.
