    Relapse Prevention In Recovery

    Relapse does not have to be a part of the recovery process, but it is a reality that many will encounter. The necessity to hit a painful bottom has proven to be a very effective motivator toward a successful recovery. “when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of changing, we will change” (Narcotics Anonymous, 1992, pg. 173). There is hope, as the substance user will discover, through the necessary treatment of change. Yet many do not understand relapse and are often left with shame, fear, and distorted perceptions of its ability to oppose positive change.…

    Enabler Research Paper

    If you have a substance abuser in the family and you can’t figure out who the enabler in the family is, it’s probably you. The recovery process works when treatment plans and action planning are not interrupted or derailed by enablers or codependency. When someone really is ready to recover from addiction the process will work; families can make a huge impact by not enabling and learning all that they can about addiction and recovery. Support recovery, but do not enable, it kills!…

    Addiction Recovery: A Case Study

    Lorman (2013) mentioned that addiction is a chronic disease that may not have a perpetual solution, but can be managed by proper treatment (p. 439). The author also mentioned that those who are in recovery process may relapse back to addiction after a period of sobriety because of “relapse triggers of people, places and things” (p. 439). Nevertheless, the success of recovery can be achieved by viewing at numerous issues such as “mental health, medical, substance abuse, family, and social problems” (p. 440). These issues can be negated to help retain treatment effectiveness. The social support network can also help the individual in addiction recovery.…

    Cognitive-Behavioral Theory

    The theory that I chose to use in order to inform Ms. Arlington’s treatment plan was Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (CBT). The use of CBT is evident throughout Ms. Arlington’s treatment plan. The focus on cognitive distortions and behavioral modification, as well as the insightfulness of Ms. Arlington, made CBT a good choice to utilize. Ms. Arlington’s inability to practice positive self-talk and her irrational thought patterns concerning her parenting are two of the reasons that maintaining sobriety has been a challenge for her. Therefore it was my hope that by utilizing cognitive restructuring, cognitive coping, and behavioral coping skills that Ms. Arlington would able to maintain sobriety and reunification with her son.…

    Disease Model Of Relapse

    With the descriptions of both concepts clearly stated, we can now look into which concept better helps in the aid of treatment when it comes to the addicts and their families. Since one of the main reasons addiction is so hard to understand is the relapsing aspect. A relapse is the return to drug use after a drug-free period and can often be triggered by drug-related cues, negative mood or stress, positive mood states or sampling of the drug itself. (Childress 2015) The “disease model” better explains the phenomenon of relapse because a chronic disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not fully cured.…
