Substance Use and Motivational Interviewing
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Treatment Concerns | -No gold standard -Anyone can run a treatment centre w/o credentials or scientific research -Can be pricey; usually not covered through insurance -Few programs report success rates |
Treatment Components | -Assessment -Treatment Planning -Detoxification -Residential Treatment -Outpatient counseling -Psychiatric services -Social services -Medical services -Community Treatment (look in notes for specifics) |
Motivational Interviewing | Based on Carl Rogers' humanistic techniques -Therapist be: --Genuine --Accepting --unconditional positive regard (hold client in high esteem regardless of behaviours) |
Stages of Change | 1. Precontemplation 2. Contemplation 3. Preparation 4. Action 5. Maintenance 6. Relapse and recycle |
Precontemplation Stage | Not considering change and do not intend to change |
Contemplation Stage | beginning of the perception that their may be cause for concern and reason to change |
Preparation Stage | user perceives pros of change outweighs costs |
Action stage | user chooses a strategy for change and begin to pursue it |
Maintenance Stage | efforts are made to sustain gains in action stage |
Relapse and Recycle Stage | user learns that certain goals are unrealistic, certain strategies are ineffective, or certain environments are not conducive to change |
Stages of Change: Intervention Strategies | Motivational Enhancement Strategies: in Precontemplation &/or contemplation Assessment and Treatment Matching: Contemplation, Preparation, Action Relapse Prevention & Relapse Management: Action, maintenance, relapse |
MI Techniques | -Open ended Qs -Active listening -Summarize & highlight ambivalence -Elicit client's own motivational statements (change talk) -Develop discrepancy between goals/values & current behaviour -Roll with resistance ->no power struggles |
MI Techniques (Ruler Questions) | Ruler questions to assess readiness for change and confidence for making change Ex. "On a scale of 1-10, how ready do you feel to make changes?" "What would it take to get you to a 9?" |
Relapse in Substance Use Disorders | 2/3 relapse rate -Those who quit, don't stay sober for long (relapse around 3 months) |
Symptoms Before Relapse | -Post-Acute Withdrawal Syndrome -Return to denial -"everything's alright" -Avoidance & defensive behav -Starting to crisis build-work,relationships -Feeling stuck -Becoming depressed -Compulsive &/or impulsive behavs -Urges & cravings (for drugs/al |
The Black and White Model of Relapse | Thin line between being abstinent and relapsing again. That once you have even only one drink, you are considered to have relapsed |
A Better Model (Lapse vs Relapse) | Distinguish between lapse and relapse. Lapse = temporary blip (used after one month clean, but continue to be clean after that one time use) Relapse = return to previous state of use or functioning |
Two Processes of Relapse | Abstinence Violation Effect Apparently Irrelevant Behaviours |
Abstinence Violation Effect | The "What the Hell" effect -once you start (have had one drink), you might as well keep going (keep using) |
Apparently Irrelevant Behaviours | behaviour doesn't seem related, but significantly increases chance of relapse. Ex. substance use problems, drove past dealer's house as an alternate route home due to heavy traffic |
Relapse Prevention: Coping with lapses (initial use of a substance) | -Relapse plan with emergency procedures (who you can call, activities you can do) -Relapse Contract to limit extent of use (lapse ->stop at this # of uses) -Relapse Reminder Card - especially if intoxicated (lists what to do in case of lapse) |
Relapse Prevention: What to do if lapse occurs | -Stop, look, and listen (notice, describe situation) -Keep calm (don't beat self up) -Renew your commitment to your goal -Implement your Relapse Prevention Plan -Ask for help -Review the situation leading up to the lapse |
After a Lapse | 1) Identify stimuli that trigger cravings (ex. being around drug-using friends) 2) Problem solve on how to modify/avoid/resist 3)Identify alternative behaviour options when drug cravings are likely to hit |
Evidence for Relapse Prevention (Review of 24 RCTs) | -doesn't prevent a lapse better than other active tx -more effective at delaying first relapse, reducing duration, & intensity of lapses -effective at maintaining tx effects over 1-2 yrs -May be most effective for more severe users -May be delayed effect |
Evidence for Substance Use Tx(Irvin, Bowers, Dunn, & Wang 1999) | -group format more effective than individual therapy -more effective as "stand alone" than as aftercare -inpatient settings yielded better outcomes than outpatient -stronger tx effects on self-reported use than on physiological measure |
12-Step Programs | -90-day induction period (daily meeting attendance) -Sponsors as mentors (same-sex) -Meeting attendance in which a leader & 2-3 speakers share their experiences of how 12-steps relates to their recovery |
Pharmacological Models | -admit to residential/semi-residential tx -little emphasis on psychological or social interventions (target physical aspects of addiction) -drug replacement to ameliorate withdrawal --sometimes will involve sedating |
Project Match Study (Background) | -Participants assigned to: -Cognitive Behavioural Coping Skills Therapy (like relapse prevention) -Motivational Enhancement Therapy (like MI) -12-step facilitation therapy |
Project Match Findings | -participants got better with any one of the three tx -Exception with low psychiatric severity patients that had more abstinent days with 12-step -ISSUE: no control group. Only compared tx against each other |
Key things to study for this chapter | -MI: ruler questions, rolling with resistance, amplifying ambivalence, open ended questions, elicit change talk -Stages of Change (MC Q) -Relapse prevention (apparently irrelevant behavs, abstinence violation effect, lapse vs relapse, relapse plan) |
