Psychological abuse refers to a series of repeated incidents that insult, humiliate, threaten, degrade, isolate or control another person. It can occur intentionally or unintentionally. Psychological abuse often follows a cycle of tension building, an incident of abuse, reconciliation, and calm before tension begins building again. It can occur within families, partnerships, or the workplace. Risk factors include emotional abuse of children, poverty, substance abuse, and male-dominated or religious societies that promote abuse. Solutions include the victim seeking help, establishing mental stability through therapy, and the abuser receiving counseling depending on legal rulings.
Addiction is characterized as a chronic disease that dysfunctions the brain's reward system. It is caused by both genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include an inability to abstain from rewarding behaviors, impaired control, craving, and relationship and emotional problems. Without treatment, addiction progresses and can lead to disability or death due to relapses triggered by substance cues, stress, or environmental factors. Overcoming addiction requires accepting feelings, developing alternative rewards, avoiding triggers, and gaining social support.
Emotional abuse is a form of violence that involves improper and unhealthy interactions between two or more people. It can be caused by factors like inferiority complexes, unresolved personal problems, and lack of ability to understand healthy relationships. Abusers tend to be emotionally immature and exert excessive control over victims, while victims have low self-esteem and seek crumbs of affection. Signs of abuse can be subtle messages or behaviors that manipulate or play mind games. Prevention requires awareness of key information and seeking help from others.
The document discusses addiction from multiple perspectives:
- Addiction involves biological, psychological, and social factors that result in long-term brain changes and compulsion to use substances despite harm. It is considered a chronic disease by medical organizations.
- Most people seeking treatment for substance use disorders or mental illness also have a concurrent or co-occurring disorder. Treatment aims to stabilize the individual, help them understand their disease and develop relapse prevention skills.
- Recovery is a lifelong process of maintaining abstinence through structure, managing co-occurring issues, and reintegrating into family and community life with support. Understanding addiction helps individuals and families.
This document discusses various types of compliance and resistance behaviors that addicts may exhibit during treatment. It describes addicts who present as finished with treatment before starting, who seek invisibility, focus on others' problems, or see treatment as an alternative lifestyle. It also covers craving cycles, the dangers of visits and distractions during treatment, splitting behaviors, and managing expectations to prevent relapse. The overall message is that addicts may manipulate treatment through various compliance tactics in order to avoid meaningful participation and escape confronting their addiction.

It advocates for medication to manage cravings and psychotherapy to work on ongoing sobriety. Several principles are outlined, including believing a client's behaviors over assurances, continuously refining treatment goals, avoiding shaming, enabling or moralizing clients, and addressing addiction as a lifestyle and family systems issue.

The document summarizes factors that influence drug use according to Chapter 3 of the Goldberg text. It finds that the most common motivations for drug use are curiosity, boredom, escape from problems, social influences, and rebellion. It also discusses societal and family influences on drug use. Biological, psychological, and social theories are described to explain why individuals continue to use drugs.
Military personnel exposed to trauma in war zones often experience post-traumatic stress reactions like nightmares and anxiety even after returning home. These stress reactions can negatively impact their families by causing emotional distance, irritability, and loss of interest in social activities. Treatment for PTSD focuses on reducing fear/anxiety, gaining control over reactions, making sense of trauma experiences, and improving functioning. Family support is important to recovery, and families should educate themselves, communicate with the veteran, and seek their own help if needed.

About this guide
If someone you care about is struggling with a drug or alcohol problem, an intervention can be a turning point, a realization there is a serious problem that requires professional help. You can conduct an intervention on your own. Alternatively, there are professional interventionists that can assist you on a fee-for-service basis. If you are concerned enough about a loved one to be reading this, you should seriously consider taking action. The worst thing you can do is stand by and do nothing. Someone with an addiction is often surrounded by people who want him or her to get better.
This document discusses harm reduction approaches in housing programs for individuals experiencing homelessness and substance use disorders. It outlines key principles of harm reduction, including meeting clients where they are at without requiring abstinence, focusing on small positive steps, and avoiding punitive responses to relapses. The stages of change model is reviewed as it applies to engaging clients who are not yet ready to change substance use. Specific harm reduction strategies for housing programs include allowing substance use while providing other services and supports to reduce risks, accepting relapses as part of recovery, and having open conversations about mental health and substance use issues. The goal is to provide compassionate services to as many individuals as possible to improve health and housing stability.
Long term drug treatment programs are more effective than short term programs for treating addiction. Addictions develop over long periods of time due to underlying trauma and insecurities, and short term programs do not provide enough time to overcome those factors. Long term programs allow individuals to develop coping skills, overcome fears and insecurities, and experience life without drugs or alcohol in a supportive environment. This gives them a stronger foundation for long term recovery compared to short term programs, which only provide an introduction without the ability to practice recovery skills in the real world.
The document discusses Neil Paul's career in addiction counseling and recovery work over the past 19 years.

Effective Treatment for Addicted
Criminal Justice Clients

ABSTRACT. Addicted criminal justice clients present unique challenges because of the
complex biopsychosocial problems which frequently accompany their addiction. An
overview of the current understanding of addictive disease is presented, including the
important distinction between abstinence and sobriety.
In the Eagleville Recovery Program, each client's medical, psychosocial, educational,
vocational and psychiatric assessments are used to develop an individualized treatment
plan. Group therapy is the primary treatment modality, supplemented by individual and
family therapy, a unique Adult Basic Education component, work therapy, and active
involvement in the 12-step programs. Group therapy is important because these clients
often reject suggestions from professionals but are willing to accept feedback from peers.
Even minor successful accomplishments in the educational program enhance clients' self-
esteem and reinforce other areas of growth and change, while work therapy provides an
opportunity to learn how to relate to a supervisor and "straight" co-workers.
A case study is presented to illustrate the course of treatment for a typical client. [Article

Substance abuse has been called the nation's number one health problem (Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, 1993), and the impact of drugs on America has been summarized by Joseph
Califano (1995) as follows:
For 30 years, America has tried to curb crime with more judges, tougher punishments and
bigger prisons. We have tried to rein in health costs by manipulating payments to doctors
and hospitals. We've fought poverty with welfare systems that offer little incentive to work.
All the while, we have undermined these efforts with our personal and national denial about
the sinister dimension drug abuse and addiction has added to our society.
Providing effective treatment to addicted criminal justice clients presents special challenges
because of the complexity and severity of the biopsychosocial problems which frequently
accompany their addiction. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Eagleville Recovery
Program, a residential program which has been very effective in treating these clients of particular
interest is the program's structure, its multidisciplinary treatment team, and its unique adult basic
education and work therapy components.

"Relapse Prevention" was presented by Robin Edison, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, CAAC; Dawn Farm Downtown Program coordinator. This program discusses the dynamics of relapse, the warning signs that lead the chemically dependent person into a relapse, and strategies to prevent relapse and help handle high-risk situations. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.

The document discusses relapse prevention in addiction recovery. It notes that relapse is a process, not a single event, beginning with subtle changes in behavior, attitudes, and thinking. Warning signs of relapse include withdrawing from support systems, increased stress, dishonesty, and changes in attitude like complacency or resentment. Relapse can be interrupted by stabilizing, identifying warning signs, educating oneself and others, and maintaining prevention strategies like attending meetings and working with a sponsor. Relapse is common in early recovery and not something to feel ashamed of, but rather an opportunity to strengthen one's recovery program.
The document discusses alcohol and drug addiction. It defines the signs of abuse and addiction, the effects on the body, and the recovery process. Special homes called sober living homes provide support and help addicts get back on their feet. The recovery process takes time and involves avoiding triggers, getting support, and developing new interests to replace addiction. Relapse can occur but is part of recovery if a person learns from it. Overall the document outlines the dangers of addiction and importance of support and treatment.
Drug abuse among adults often stems from issues in childhood or adolescence when they were first exposed to addictive substances. Many adults began abusing alcohol and other drugs to cope with problems like job or financial issues, or family discord. Commonly abused substances include alcohol, prescription tranquilizers, sedatives, appetite suppressants, and pain relievers. Drug abuse can persist all day or periodically on weekends and prevents individuals from functioning properly in their personal or professional lives. Withdrawing from addiction usually requires treatment in an institutional program for the best chances of long-term rehabilitation, especially with family support.
This document contains Lynn Fredenburgh's undergraduate ePortfolio. It includes sections about her personal statement, resume, reflections on her education and interests in psychology, and samples of her coursework analyzing various substance abuse treatments and prevention strategies. The document demonstrates Lynn's dedication to helping others struggling with addiction and mental illness, and highlights the skills and knowledge she gained through her psychology degree.
The document discusses addictive personalities and the reasons why some people may be more susceptible to addiction. It defines addiction and notes that addictive personality disorder makes one more likely to engage in addictive behaviors like substance abuse or gambling. Factors that can contribute to an addictive personality include impulsivity, stress, childhood trauma, genetics, mental illness, and early exposure to drugs. However, the decision to become addicted is ultimately personal choice, even if certain traits or experiences increase vulnerability.
This document discusses addiction from several perspectives. It defines addiction as a pathological relationship between a human and an addictive object like substances or behaviors. Addiction is described as having physical, psychological, and social components. The development of addiction is influenced by social and environmental factors. Treatment approaches discussed include cognitive-emotional-behavioral therapy and a five-phase therapeutic model. The document also notes the issue of drug addiction in Palestine and rehabilitation organizations working to address it.
The document discusses the complex issue of substance abuse, its impact on health, relationships, and society. It explores how substance abuse involves the misuse of drugs and alcohol, leading to negative physical and mental health consequences. Effective treatment requires a holistic approach while prevention focuses on education, early intervention and supportive environments. Overcoming stigma and lack of understanding is crucial to addressing this issue.
The document discusses how drug addiction affects one's quality of life in several negative ways, including biologically, socially, and financially. Addiction takes a toll on the body's health and functioning over time as tolerance builds and larger doses are required. Socially, drug use damages relationships and social networks as friends and family may distance themselves. Financially, the costs of sustaining a drug habit are high and addiction makes it difficult to maintain employment and housing. When combined, these factors reinforce each other and accelerate addiction. Inpatient treatment can help alleviate these negative impacts.

Crisis counselling provides short-term assistance and support to individuals experiencing extreme distress from a traumatic event. It aims to help clients cope with their current stressors, receive resources, stabilize their situation, and prevent long-term damage from the crisis. Crisis counselling focuses on strategies for the immediate aftermath of trauma and is often a precursor to longer-term counselling to support mental health and well-being. It educates individuals on normal reactions to abnormal situations and aims to restore them to their pre-crisis level of functioning within a temporary framework of around 1-3 months.

Dr. Stenson recommends assessing urgent issues like suicide or homicide risk first when helping someone with a substance abuse disorder or mental illness. It is also important to understand their insight, motivation, and previous treatment experience. Many who achieve long-term recovery had multiple relapses first, so one should not lose hope. Perseverance and redirecting rebellious energy into recovery efforts can support maintaining sobriety while living a happy life despite challenges. Changes in recovery may cause others to resist the new, healthier person as well, so preparing for loneliness or being treated as a "black sheep" can help cope.
1. The Landing Activities
Author: Dion Silva
Families play important role in long term sobriety
Human beings are very emotional animals on the
earth. They are in constant need for emotional
support. It is also proven that they succumb to
situational pressures and demanding roles more
easily than their counter part. They easily fall prey to
different lures. They need more external support and
help to fight out personal issues. The world is very
much complicated. It offers many happy moments,
but also equally sad or stressful ones. It is up to
someone how to deal with this. Many face it bravely
but many fall prey to harsh situations. As they say,
life is always give and take. Many times it happens,
that life only “takes” and does not give back the
expected. This brings in lots of depression to a
person.
To seek some solace, he turns to various activities which might be or might not be
really helpful to him. Some of such activities could be indulging into sports, music
or any other hobbies. These are some of very constructive and stress-buster
activities. There are activities which do not fall under constructive category. They
are more of life threatening or destructing ones, like alcohol addiction, substance
abuse or drug addiction. These activities induce only harmful substance into body
and take the life out of the humans. At the initial stage any addiction can be
hidden cleverly, but as it advances, it becomes very difficult to control the urge to
take the substance in and at this stage the addiction comes out prominently.
Then the near and dear ones seek for a suitable rehab for getting their loved ones
out of the clutches of the deadly habit. The drug and alcohol treatment center
offer personalized treatment for recovery. During the treatment period an expert
help and moral boost is offered by the clinical staff. Once outside the rehab, this
help and support is very much essential to retain the sobriety which is achieved
2. with great efforts and huge amount of will power. For this the rehabs rake in the
families. They educate the families for support and help. There is a wing
developed in every rehabs called addiction family counseling, this department
fully focuses on the families of the addicts and train the members in offering good
and positive support to the newly sobers. This help in maintaining the sobriety for
longer.
Substance abuse is injurious to health and mind
Substance abuse is a commonly found phenomenon
in the world today. It has influenced most of the
people living on the surface of the earth at least once
in their life. The addiction to these substances is due
to various reasons such as stress, trauma, peer
pressure or acceptance seeking behavior, craving for
adventure etc. It is a very natural tendency of human
to develop and increase tolerance levels to certain
matter be it experiences or adverse situations in life
or drugs and alcohol in-take, this is also applicable to
the medicines. If the medicines are taken for a longer
time, the human body tends to get used to it and
then the dose needs to be increased for obtaining the
effect. It is also possible for people to get addicted to
certain drug.
Addiction has its own effect on the addict. Addiction is a curable disease, if
detected at early stage. There are various stages of addiction. If recognized and
sought help at earliest, it can be treated and there are very rare chances of
relapses. But it happens in very rare cases. Many addicts remain in denial for long
and once the addiction becomes problem to the addict him/ herself or the others
in family, then the help is sought. For addiction recovery there are various rehabs.
They offer professional and compassionate help to their clients. Basic aim of these
rehabs is to get their clients out of the life threatening dis-ease. At later stage the
addiction can turn very fatal and take life of the addict.
Getting help at the right time is very crucial element, for which it is required to
first of all realize the addiction and show willingness to overcome it. Drug rehabs
play a major role in getting the addicts out of the mess and revive their life.
California drug rehab is just the similar kind of rehab which offers help for the
ones who wish to quit the deadly habits and embrace the life once again.
Nowadays the idea of rehabs has also undergone a makeover.
Now the rehabs resemble to homes and the comfort provided there is unmatched.
Now the experts believe in the theory of healing through compassion, love and
comfort. The rehabs are equivalent to luxurious houses with state-of-art facilities,
like the ones that are offered in the California drug treatment.
3. The professionals now believe that if the facilities are based on gender, the result
is much more positive and effective. It is observed that a person becomes more
open and welcomes changes as well as responds better to the measures taken for
healing.
Men need more emotional support and care.
It is very much natural to get used to anything that makes our
life easy or extends support. Human being is an emotional
creation. Hence he depends a lot on other factors for
satisfying his emotional needs. This support could be obtained
in a form of friend, family. In case of these important factors
are missing, then he involves himself in a constructive or
destructive activities. Constructive activities can be like
hobby nurturing, self development etc. But some may
immerse themselves into profession or seek shelter of drugs
for feeling complete or forgetting the exterior world.
Men, being the bread winner of the family, are faced with this problem mostly. By
nature they are secretive; they do not like to wash linen in public. This nature of
theirs can take toll on their mental and physical abilities. Hence there is more
chance of a man getting addicted to the drugs or any other substance.
But the most ignored part of this entire process is that, the drug addiction does
not help us solve any of our problems; rather it leads us to take resort of
escapism. The drugs give us a high and thus take us into a world of unrealistic.
After the effect of drug is drained out one has to face the reality as it is. This task
is even more painful. In reaction to unable to cope with the problems one takes
help pg drugs once gain to escape into the unreal world. It affects the personal as
well as professional life of a person.
Many rehabs offer recovery program targeted specially for men and women
separately. This is so because; it is very human to feel comfortable in the company
of the same sex. People tend to respond in a very positive and cooperative manner
while surrounded by the similar sex. They very much feel connected and co relate
with each other’s problem, giving a very reciprocal response. Following this
principle, there are specialized rehabs designed and dedicated to men only. These
rehabs believe that drug treatment for men differs completely from the women’s
treatment. The natural difference in weight, nature, body type and responses to
drugs differ in both these species. The drug treatment programs helps men
overcome their addictions by giving them highly structured but caring support,
which is required by men.
