Where Do We Begin?
![Page 11: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Assessment
• Seven domains of a person’s functioning, similar to biopsychosocial spheres– Primary diagnosis of substance use/abuse– Acuity of intoxication and/or withdrawal– Emotional, behavioral & cognitive conditions– Readiness to change– Relapse, continued use or problem potential– Recovery environment

What Is It? The Intersection of Co-occurring Conditions
• Which came first?• Which do you treat?• How can you have an
impact on chronic conditions?
• What about chronic pain or pain management?
• Where do you begin so you can set goals and begin to work?

Your Examples & Discussion
![Page 20: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Respectful Understanding

• Knowledgebase – you must have a factual understanding of principles of addiction & treatment, go to sites & self-help meetings
• Use of reflective listening & paraphrasing• Accept that client will be dishonest• Acceptance of chronic, relapsing disease• Continue relationship thru non-compliance
![Page 21: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Stages of Change: A Trans-theoretical Model
![Page 22: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Stages of Change
• Precontemplation - behavior not a problem, no change • Contemplation - behavior is perhaps a problem, may
have a need to change, considering that change may have benefits, no change yet
• Preparation - begins to plan for behavior change, further consideration of benefits, no change yet
• Action - behavior change occurs, trying out new behavior, integrating into daily life, change occurs
• Maintenance - behavior occurs regularly, some relapse to prior behavior, relapse is then validated and reviewed, new behavior resumes.
• Relapse – return to prior behavior, recognize failure

![Page 24: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Recovery is …
• Grounded in resilience
• Supported by a foundation of hope
• An ongoing, dynamic, interactive process
• An interplay of a person’s strengths and vulnerabilities
• A personal journey
• Continuous, even when symptoms recur
![Page 25: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Characteristics of Recovery
• Multiple Pathways
• Holistic Change Process
• Supported by Peers and Allies• Is a Process of Stages: engagement,
recovery initiation and stabilization, recovery maintenance and ongoing recovery (adapted from Changing for Good (1994), Prochaska, Norcross, and DiClemente. NY: Avon Books)
![Page 26: Substance abuse 101](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55698755d8b42a673a8b469f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Social Forces Support Change• Successful recovery often includes:
– connections to family – stable sober housing – employment – follow-up on healthcare & nutrition – extended course of treatment
The longer people participate in a treatment regimen, the more likely they are to remain abstinent and achieve a sustained recovery. This has been verified via case study and research data.
