Tennessee Recovery and Effective Addiction Treatment Lab 

Welcome to the TREAT Lab Website!


The Tennessee Recovery and Effective Addiction Treatment (TREAT) Lab is housed within the Department of Psychology at The University of Memphis and is affiliated with the Tennessee Institute for Gambling Education & Research. The missions of the Lab are to evaluate the effectiveness of psychological treatment and to optimize the effectiveness of treatment for all individuals with addictions, especially those from marginalized communities.


The TREAT Lab is also committed to training the next generation of scientist-practitioners in clinical psychology and addiction. Dr. Pfund is frequently recruiting new graduate and undergraduate students to join the lab. Visit the Join the Lab page for more information.
