Recommended: The Impact Of Addiction On Family

Attending the rehabilitation facility allowed me to gain insight on the different struggles faced by others. This clinical rotation really touched my heart. I could relate to the different stories because of my upbringing. My mother faced drug and alcohol addictions and I was taken away from her at a very young age. Although I managed to overcome my obstacles. I realized that not everyone is as fortunate to do so.
The rehabilitation center gives its residents a sense of hope. This is very important to those who suffer addiction. After listening to the three residents tell their story, they each stated how their family and friends disowned them. They felt as if no one cared about them; however, this changed once they started the rehabilitation

    Once these individuals in rehab serve there sentence the majority of them, won’t look straight to the next opportunity to get high, but the next opportunity for a better future after being encouraged in rehab to accomplish something in life, compared to someone’s attitude coming out of prison. One story involved a man named Richard with his wife Marcia. She was an addict who was often jailed for it, but Anthony believed like many others that “addiction can be overcome with proper help. He believed that the solution was to get her into a mental hospital [and] get her whatever she needs – Xanax, morphine, to get her chemical imbalance right. Show her some respect. (114)” Give her some working skills, so once she gets out she is capable of being successful but instead she kept getting “kicked down the steps” by the criminal justice system. The jailing and torture of addicts is routine to people serving cases for drug related offenses, who are often not built to endure prison, let alone jail. “The Justice Department estimates that 216,000 people are raped in these prisons every year.

    During the rehab process, patients receive much more than therapy and counselling. They learn a lot about addiction and what it takes to stay on the path of recovery. In many cases, they also learn the value of having one or more support groups. For many years now, counselors have placed a great deal of value on promoting the idea of "one addict helping another addict." In fact, who would know more about the recovery process than someone who has successfully lived it?

    I selected this project because I believe self-advocating is a very important process when it comes to ensuring that patients’ needs are met. Unfortunately, there are instances when some social workers are not sensitive to the needs of patients with a long history chemical dependency challenges. Sad, because at times, some young people not only have to deal with chemical dependency struggles, but the demands of life as well. As society forever increases in its intermixing of individuals from different social and ethnic groups, social workers must further increase their understanding of inter-group relationships and methods in which to help people who struggle with chemical dependency. Overall, completing this project was a positive experience. I had no major challenges. Surprisingly, I received an overwhelming amount of support from staff members in the partial hospitalization department with contacting and locating former chemical dependency patients. Lastly, the biggest lesson I learned was it’s ok to ask for help from your

    ...g the extent to which addiction affected the brain system resulting into changes and adaptations that the addict has no control. In addition to this, I learnt of the innate struggle that they experience with every attempt made towards becoming “clean” again; a struggle which almost always ends in defeat. A situation that can be described as “baffling”, an expression used by one of Dr, Volkow’s interviewees. Learning the involuntary nature of addiction and relapse that occur during recovery and the immense efforts required from the recovering addicts greatly changed the way I perceived the recovery process. Now I know it takes intervention from others, in addition to the effort made by the affected individual desiring to recover. Indeed, one cannot easily recover from drug addiction and avoid relapsing without help from family, friends and the society at large.

  • Treating Chemical Dependencies

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    When you think about a person in treatment for chemical dependency and their willingness to change, no one individual really wants to be told what to do. The more a person is told what they should be doing the more they are going to resist making a change. The more a counselor confronts a chemical dependant client the more they will be less likely to change. The client may even be pushed in the opposite direction so that they will resist change and/or change far less quickly had they not been confronted. Counselors do have an important role in treating chemical dependant clients, with the tone they use, the words they choose, and they style in which they talk to their client, can be affective tools to helping the client resolve their own ambivalence and really decide what they want to do to make a change in their life. An addictive behavior can change, however it is not as easy as brushing your teeth, change comes in stages. As a counselor, it is important to recognize these stages of change in order to assist clients in recognizing and accepting their chemical dependency as well as, helping them make the changes necessary for recovery. “Just as there is no one ‘alcoholic’ or ‘drug addict,’ there is no one ‘tried-and-true’ treatment approach for all clients” (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2008, p. 149). This paper will focus on Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Counseling, and Harm Reduction Psychotherapeutic Approaches.

When drugs enter the brain, they can interrupt the work and actually change how the brain performs its jobs; these changes are what lead to compulsive drug use. Drug abuse plays a major role when concerning mental health. It is very difficult for these individuals to engage in treatment.
