    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.…

    What´s Dural Recovery Anonymous?

    Art, Great question. I think the Dural Recovery Anonymous (DRA) would be helpful for those with dual diagnosis. DRA is similar to AA it does not render advice or recommendations to their members regarding the purpose of psychiatric medications or other forms of treatment. It welcomes any member who has received a dual disorder regardless of their chemical addiction or psychiatric history or their degree of abilities. Two prerequisites for membership, a longing to stop using any substance, and control their emotions or mental illness.…

    Couple Therapy: Collaboration Process

    Since I am obtaining my CASAC, learning about this topic is vital due to the correlation between substance abuse and sexual addiction. At my internship site, I have already encountered multiple clients who have sexual impulses so this information is valuable. While handling a client who has a sexual addiction, individual, family, couple and group counseling seem equally important. Since research has found that marital or family relationships are negatively affected as a result of sexual addiction, these types of therapy could help clients in their primary relationships. If the client receives individual therapy first, they will be able to work through denial, learn about the addiction process and work towards establishing sobriety, which will help establish stability for the addict and their family.…

    Alcoholic Anonymous Meeting

    One thing I took away from the meeting is you can never base if a person is an alcoholic based off their “looks”. Honestly, when I thought of an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting I thought everyone would look trashy, homeless, poor, etc. I know that’s shallow of me, but that’s how AA meeting are portrayed in today’s media, especially in movies. In addition, I thought all alcoholic were jobless bums when in reality there are many functioning alcoholics, even as contradictive as that sounds. Like the two white women, and the Hispanic man all had job, like real nine to five jobs.…

    “My son called home and said that he doesn’t have any food or toilet paper!” At the time of the call this woman’s son had been in a residential recovery program for approximately three weeks; do you think she is an enabler? This man was over forty years old and drinking himself to death for decades. Substance abusers and alcoholics know exactly which buttons to push to get their enablers to react. Enablers are codependent with the substance abuser; they make terrible decisions thinking that they’re helping their loved one.…

    Addiction Recovery Case Study

    The most notable gaps I’ve seen in addiction recovery treatments for women are a lack of connection and a lack of assisted social reintegration. As renowned speaker and author Dr. Gabor Maté explains in his lectures, the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it’s connection. Women need to make real connections, both spiritually and socially, before they are able to return to the pressures of an everyday life while maintaining their sobriety.…

    12 Step Recovery

    INTRODUCTION The importance of spirituality in recovery from addiction has been proven through the use of 12 Step programs of recovery (and from now on may be referred to as self help groups). Spiritual fellowships are also another term for 12 step groups (Galanter, 2007). Bill Wilson and Bob Smith (Dr. Bob and Bob S.) created Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935 (Mullins, 2010), alcoholics finally had a program of recovery that, through experience, worked. Other programs (Overeaters Anonymous, Debtors Anonymous etc) have since been modeled after the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (Mullins, 2010, p.152).…

    Reflection Paper On An Aa Meeting

    I would think for some this could make attending a meeting difficult. Some people need to completely separate themselves from the drug and alcohol culture. Sitting in a room listening to people talk about their past use might trigger feelings for them to want to use again. I think that more emphasis needs to be on the recovery process and not the use. Another thing I thought about was how the twelve-step program might not work for everyone.…

    Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting Essay

    Addiction support meetings have multiple benefits beyond helping a person move toward a healthier, more stable and productive life without the misuse of substances. Historically speaking, in the case of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, the idea that one alcoholic speaking with another is enough of a good start for progress toward recovery. As a matter of fact, that is how it is described in AA literature (Big Book, 2001). Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Bob Smith in Akron, Ohio. Its primary purpose is to help alcoholics stay sober and help other alcoholics achieve sobriety.…

    Introduction When someone thinks of child molesters or rapists, the first thought is to lock them up because there is no help for them, they are sick. How can anyone be attracted to a child? How can anyone rape someone? How can anyone turn out this way? Normally people don’t consider the back stories of these perpetrators, because they have committed awful acts.…
