Description:
\n<\/b>Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders have increased in prevalence leading addiction specialists to focus on learning about and developing relevant treatment modalities. However, it is important to consider the level of functioning of the client, existence of shame and to tailor treatment appropriately. Connecting with individual narratives has been an important part of the history of addiction recovery and also useful for those working with alcoholics and addicts. Almost two-thirds of clients with addiction also have a co-occurring mental health disorder and 12-Step programs are the most commonly utilized self-help groups. Therefore, it is imperative that these clients are effectively guided in the integration process of the clinical and 12 Step models.<\/p>\n
