| Five Critical Components of Effective Treatment - | 1) Assessment |
| 2) Patient-Treatment Matching | |
| 3) Comprehensive Services | |
| 4) Relapse Prevention | |
| 5) Accountability | |
| The Nervous System - | The brain, the spinal cord, the peripheral nerves |
| Central - brain and the spinal cord, psychoactive drugs primarily affect the CNS | |
| Peripheral - all the nerves that branch out | |
| Acetylcholine - | an excitatory neurotransmitter released by axons |
| Norepinephrine - | Associated with arousal reactions |
| Dopamine - | Associated with body movement and pleasure |
| Serotonin - | Associated with regulation of sensory perception, sleep and body temperature |
| Sedative-Hypnotic - | Substances that induce depression on the CNS |
| 3 Categories: | |
| 1) Barbiturates - used to treat anxiety, induce sleep, and control seizures (reduce tension and anxiety, relax) - barbiturates have slowly been replaced with safer benzodiazepines | |
| 2) Minor Tranquilizers - depressant drugs used to treat anxiety and insomnia (basically benzodiazepines) | |
| 3) Other Sedatives-hypnotic: "catch-all" category for sedatives/hypnotics | |
| Inhalants - | CNS Depressants |
| Creates an effect similar to alcohol intoxication, excitability. and delirium | |
| Physical and psychological dependence | |
| Cleaners, cosmetics, paint solvents, glues, motor fuels | |
| Three major categories of abused substances that require detox - | 1) Alcohol and other CNS depressants (benzos/barbiturates) |
| 2) Opiate drugs | |
| 3) Cocaine | |
| Medication Assisted Treatment (biologically based) - | The use of approved medications with medical supervision. Intended to be an adjunct to formal therapies. |
| Agonists - These drugs can be substituted for the drug of abuse to provide a more controllable form of addiction. The properties and actions of these drugs are similar to the drug of abuse. Using them alleviates withdrawal symptoms Methadone and Clonidine | |
| Methadone blocks the cravings for opiate drugs and does not create a sense of euphoria like heroin | |
| Antagonists - These drugs occupy the same receptor sites in the brain as specific drugs of abuse, they do not produce the same effects as the drug and are not addicting. When they are present, the effects of the abused drug are blocked because they cannot | |
| Antidipsotropics - create adverse physical reactions when the person consumes the substance of abuse. These drugs are used to develop an aversion to the abused drug (antabuse) | |
| Psychotropic Medications - These control various symptoms associated with drug use and withdrawal | |
| Residential or Inpatient (behaviorally/psychologically based) - | Best type of care for individuals who have not been successful in outpatient, have very serious substance abuse problems, need concomitant medical or psychiatric care, and those without a stable support system in the community |
| Therapeutic Communities - Self-contained residential programs that emphasize self-help and rely heavily on ex-addicts as peer counselors, administrators, and role-models | |
| The Purpose of Assessment - | 1) Identify those who are experiencing problems with substance abuse or have progressed to the stage of addiction |
| 2) Assess the full spectrum of problems for which treatment may be needed | |
| 3) Plan appropriate interventions | |
| 4) Involve appropriate family members or significant others | |
| 5) Evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions that are implemented | |
| The first stage of the treatment process | |
| Gather information from a variety of sources | |
| Without a CA, there is a risk of treating the wrong set of problems or failing to provide any intervention for some problems | |
| Include physical and medical problems, drug use history., psychosocial problems, psychiatric disorders, current SES and eligibility for various problems | |
| Six Stages of Counseling - | 1) Information Gathering - Counselor gathers as much info as possible to make a valid assessment and treatment plan |
| 2) Evaluation - Nature and severity of the presenting problem, cause of the symptoms, relief of the symptoms, client's readiness for counseling, and client/counselor match | |
| 3) Feedback | |
| 4) Counseling Agreement - Practical issues which set limits (length of session, number of sessions, payment), expectations, goals | |
| 5) Changing Behavior | |
| 6) Termination - Is a stage in the counseling process, not the last session | |
| Counseling Skills of Stage 1 (Information Gathering) - | Attending to self and client, concreteness (identifying specific feelings, clarifying general statements), distinguishing content from feelings, probing (open-ended questions), accurate empathy, genuineness, respect |
| Counseling Skills of Stage 2 (Evaluation) - | Advanced accurate empathy, self-disclosure, confrontation (pointing out discrepancies), immediacy |
| Counseling Skills of Stage 3 (Feedback) - | Role-playing, values clarification, goal-setting, problem solving. Feedback should be directed toward the person's behavior, which the person can do something about, they have control over behaviors. |
| Three Stages of Drug/Alcohol Counseling - | 1) Medical/Physical Intervention |
| 2) Psychosocial Rehabilitation | |
| 3) Aftercare | |
| Attending - | Demonstration of the counselor's concern for and interest in the client by eye contact, body posture, and accurate verbal following (listening skill) |
| Encourages the client to continue to express his/her ideas and feelings freely | |
| Listening and observing and then communicating to the client that listening and observing is going on | |
| Counselor stays attuned to what the client is expressing verbally and nonverbally | |
| Attentiveness is conveyed through eye-contact, posture, and accurate verbal following ("Oh", "yes", "Uh huh") | |
| Paraphrasing - | A counselor statement that mirrors the client's statement in exact or similar wording (feedback). |
| The counselor must identify the client's message and give that back to the client in one's own words | |
| Communicates to the client that the counselor understands or is trying to understand | |
| Can clarify confusing content | |
| Determining the basic message and rephrasing it | |
| The counselor should get in the habit of "checking out" if he/she was right | |
| Determine the client's basic message and rephrase the content | |
| Reflection of Feeling - | The essence of the client's feelings, either stated or implied, as expressed by the counselor (feedback). Focuses primarily on the emotional element of the client's communication |
| Identification and formulation. The counselor must first identify basic feelings | |
| Summarizing - | A brief review of the main points discussed in the session to insure continuity in a focused direction (feedback) |
| Can focus on both feelings and content, should be brief and to the point, without new or added meanings | |
| This can take place after an entire session or after long statements from a client | |
| Selection and tying together - Select the key components discussed, bring about themes | |
| Probing - | A counselor's response that directs the client's attention inward to help both parties examine the client's situation in greater depth (feedback) |
| Interpreting - | Presenting the client with alternative ways of looking at his/her situation (feedback) |
| Confrontation - | A counselor's statement or question intended to point out contradictions in the client's behavior and statements, or to induce the client to face an issue the counselor feels the client is avoiding (feedback) |
| Probing - | Counselor's use of a question or statement to direct the client's attention inward to explore his/her situation more in depth (open-ended question) |
| Self-Disclosure - | Is a sharing by the counselor of his/her own feelings, attitudes, opinions, and experiences with a client for the benefit of the client. This information should be relevant to the client's situation |
| Can build a sense of trust/rapport between counselor and client | |
| Can help reduce the client's feelings that he/she is unique in the situation they are experiencing | |
| Disclosure should relate directly to the client's situation | |
| Counselor should only disclose things that he/she actually experienced | |
| Will it benefit the client and will the counselor feel comfortable in revealing this information? | |
| Used appropriately, counselor self-disclosure should increase the level of trust, genuineness, and empathy in the counseling relationship and reduce feelings of being unique | |
| Defense Mechanisms - | Repression - forcing unacceptable thoughts and feelings from the conscious mind into the unconcscious mind |
| Projection - accusing others of motives and traits that the person senses are true about him/herself but he/she finds unacceptable | |
| Displacement - discomfort is created by one person but there is too much anxiety to talk directly with the person, so the individual takes out his/her feelings on someone or something less threatening | |
| Regression - returning to more immature behavior that used to be satisfying, occurs more frequently when under extreme pressure | |
| Rationalization - finding a satisfactory reason for doing something unacceptable | |
| Intellectualization - understanding a difficult situation with the mind but not allowing any feelings about it | |
| Client-Centered Therapy - | Carl Rogers was the founder |
| View of the person is essentially good, that he/she is capable of living a meaningful life | |
| The client has the potential for becoming aware of problems and the means to resolve them | |
| The therapist creates a safe healing environment by expressing: genuineness (counselor is him/herself), empathy (the ability to feel with the client and sense what his/her world is like), unconditional positive regard | |
| Gestalt Therapy - | Fritz Perls was the founder |
| The person strives for wholeness and integration of thinking, feelings, and behaving. The person has the capacity to see how earlier influences are related to present difficulties | |
| Assist clients in gaining awareness of moment to moment experiencing | |
| Focus on the here and now | |
| Rational Emotive Therapy - | Albert Ellis is the founder |
| Humans are born with potentials for rational thinking but also with tendencies toward crooked thinking. They tend to fall victim to irrational beliefs and to reindoctrinate themselves with these beliefs. A persons belief system is the cause of emotional p | |
| Thinking and feeling are two processes but are closely linked together | |
| The event does not cause the action, the person's thoughts and feelings about the event cause the action | |
| Teach a client to analyze his/her belief system and correct the irrational distortions | |
| The counselor identifies the client's irrational beliefs | |
| Extinction - | Learned behavior patterns tend to weaken and disappear over time if they are not reinforced, so we must remove the reinforcement (implosive therapy and flooding) |
| Implosion asks clients to imagine and relive aversive scenes | |
| Flooding is placing the client in a real life situation | |
| Systematic Desensitization - | Aimed at teaching an individual to relax or behave in some other way that is inconsistent with anxiety while in the presence (real or imagined) of the anxiety producing stimulus. Systematic refers to the carefully graduated manner in which someone is expo |
| A client is first taught to induce a state of relaxation, then an "anxiety hierarchy" is constructed, then one must repeatedly imagine the scenes in the hierarchy under conditions of deep relaxation | |
