Mi disco favorito de todos los tiempos!!!!
My initial unandstdering of recovery included the expectation that it is difficult to enter and to maintain. However, I did not fully realize the extent to which this is true. Dennis’ evaluation review findings, (that the average person requires 3-4 treatment admissions for 8-9 years to achieve a year of abstinence), struck me as daunting and have certainly shifted my approach to clients who are dealing with a relapse. Rather than seeing this hypothetical client’s relapse as a step backward, this article helped me consider it as a very normal struggle that is not separate from the process of recovery itself. Given this adjustment in my perspective, I imagine beginning with some work around the abstinence violation effect. To help this client, I would want to first explore the extent to which self-blame and perceived loss of control are impacting her own expectation about whether or not she can stop this downward spiral of relapse. My conviction that a return to recovery is possible for her is informed by so many of the readings we have completed this term. Sharing this conviction along with acknowledgement of the difficult road ahead would hopefully help us strengthen our alliance. From here we could begin to look at the circumstances contributing to her current use. We can re-identify risk situations and reiterate the benefits of utilizing other mental health and wraparound services. I would want to focus my interventions to emphasize areas that have been highly predictive of long-term abstinence rates such as: increasing her level of emotional support, teaching cognitive and behavioral coping strategies, and reviewing the psychological components of substance use such as her outcome expectancies. Perhaps most importantly, this week’s readings helped me think about this kind of session with less fear and apprehension and with an increased sense of the work that needs to be done.
When my client came back to cnesouling first I would explain that there is no judgment, I would explain some of the changes that take place chemically in the body when a person uses, I would ask questions in a non-threatening and safe manner, to find out where the client is at the moment mentally and emotionally since this plays a factor in someone relapsing. I would let the client know that it is not unusually and that they are not failing just because they relapsed, it just means that it will take them longer and that they still have the time clean that they had before they relapsed. I would try to instill unconditional hope to my client, that if they want to really stop using then they can and will. I would try to find out if they know what a trigger was for the client, I would ask about whom they were around, what was going on, where were they, and maybe did they smell something or see something that made them activate that urge in them?I would help them put into place some tools that will help them to control the triggers they may come across in their recovery. Change friends, limit (negative family) time, start a 12 step program, utilize positive support (maybe like church), remind them of what they had before they used and how that felt, changes the things they do and places they go if possible. Try to get the client to go back and start to do the things they did before they started using.
