We discuss the holistic impact of addiction as it relates to Pia Mellody's Relational Development Model and particularly with substance abuse, the impact of different legal and illegal substances on our physiology, and the brain. We explore current methods of working with addiction through stages of motivation to support client movement toward recovery and discuss the importance of supporting the client/therapist relationship in relapse.
We review different ways of working with clients in addiction through incorporating aspects of different treatment approaches. Such approaches facilitate confrontation and challenge, facing and breaking shame based patterns of behaviour, and facilitate education and skills development toward greater client personal responsibility and esteem of self. Finally, we review Aftercare Recovery Planning and its pivotal role in the Early, Middle and Late stages of addiction recovery.
The module is experiential and interactive as approaches toward addiction treatment are explored and discussed. There will be particular emphasis on education around the way that we work at SPP toward emotional governance, awareness of personal responsibility and learning to esteem of all parts of self.
Participants have the opportunity to increase self-awareness and get a sense of the way we work at SPP directly linked to addiction.
