TREATMENT PLANNING VS. RECOVERY PLANNING
There is a difference between:
o Professionally directed, long-‐term treatment planning
o Pa/ent directed long-‐term recovery planning
Recovery Planning IS NOT Treatment Planning
LANGUAGE MATTERS
o “People" are not defined by their disease so should not be referred to that way
o The way we speak reflects the way we think
o Recovery terminology more hopeful than disease terminology
SAMHSA’S DEFINITION OF RECOVERY
“A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-‐directed life, and strive to reach their full poten*al.
Four major dimensions that support a life in recovery:
o Health: overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) as well as living in a physically and emo/onally healthy way;
o Home: a stable and safe place to live;
o Purpose: meaningful daily ac/vi/es, such as a job, school, volunteerism, family caretaking, or crea/ve endeavors, and the independence, income and resources to par/cipate in society; and
o Community: rela/onships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love and hope.”
“Like other chronic diseases, addic/on involves cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery ac/vi/es, addic/on is progressive and can result in disability or premature death.” -‐ American Society of Addic/on Medicine, 2012
RECOVERY PLANS ARE ESSENTIAL
RECOVERY PLANS ARE ESSENTIAL
PuPng a recovery plan in place is essen*al for long-‐term success.
“What is in my life today that will benefit my recovery, and what is in
my life today that may be a detriment to my recovery?"
DEFINITION OF RECOVERY
o difference of ongoing care for people in recovery vs. other illnesses
o different e/ologies/causes/forms of disease of addic/on
o therefore different solu/ons to this disease
o variables in recovery:
• physical dependence to varying substances
• family system

o rates of recovery
o shorter /me vs longer /me of recovery
o specific difficul/es with recovery from heroin
o automa/c thinking about not being able to use
REASON #1
The recovering individual is 100% responsible for their own recovery. Nobody else can do it for them.
WHY A RECOVERY PLAN IS NEEDED
REASON #2
New behaviors, aZtudes and skills require prac/ce
WHY A RECOVERY PLAN IS NEEDED
REASON #3
Old behaviors will quickly return unless the recovering individual has new behaviors to replace them
WHY A RECOVERY PLAN IS NEEDED
REASON #4
The individual in recovery is seZng a good example for their peers and for society
WHY A RECOVERY PLAN IS NEEDED
REASON #5
The disease will always be wai/ng for the recovering individual.

RECOVERY PRIORITIES
Alexandre B. Laudet, PhD and William White, MA; What are your priorities right now? Identifying service needs across recovery stages to inform service development, Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment. 2010 January ; 38(1): 51–59. doi:10.1016/j.jsat.2009.06.003.
AUDIENCE POLLING QUESTION
Are you helping your clients develop recovery plans?
SKILLS TO BUILD A RECOVERY PLAN
(CONT.)
SECTION #1: RED FLAG BEHAVIORS/THOUGHTS
These are destruc*ve and addic*ve, leading to preoccupa*on with the drug of choice and out of control behavior.
o include behaviors where one instance of the behavior could cause dras/c consequences
o include any behavior that “makes you crazy”
o include what you will do if one of these behaviors/thoughts does occur
THE BOTTOM LINE
SECTION #2: CAUTION FLAG BEHAVIORS/THOUGHTS
These are behaviors/thoughts which are ques*onable or which signal that you are on dangerous ground.
o Boundary Behaviors = behaviors that you cannot do, but which are not dras/c enough to reset your sobriety date if you do them.
o Cau:on Behaviors = behaviors that you haven't decided to give up, but which should be monitored to make sure they don't get out of hand.
THE BOTTOM LINE
SECTION #3: GREEN FLAG BEHAVIORS/THOUGHTS
These behaviors/thoughts are healthy.
THE BOTTOM LINE
8/21/14
10
THE NEXT STEP
Make a list of friends who don't use that they can go to for support and invite them to meet for coffee or go to a movie. Now is also the chance to spend time with family, participating in family activities and re-establishing bonds.
FRIENDS AND FAMILY
Suggest to eliminate everyone from the recovering individual’s life that is related to the addic/on: users, dealers or someone who encourages the recovering individual to use.
"100 meetings in 100 days"
AFTER-CARE MEETINGS
o Whatever the program chosen, aHendance and par/cipa/on must be consistent for it to work.
o Otherwise, the individual may experience feelings of shame and self-‐doubt.
IMPROVING HEALTH
Eat three balanced meals each day.
• Makes the individual feel beHer and requires planning and discipline.
• Discipline is at the heart of the en/re recovery plan.
Exercise briskly for ½ hour at least 3 *mes each week.
• Will increase energy and enhance the detoxifica/on process
Bathe daily to feel and look their best.
• Will increase confidence feel most comfortable
DAILY TASKS
Choose simple tasks to build their day around, giving it structure and meaning.
Tasks as simple as making the bed every morning or cleaning the kitchen at night can lead to a great feeling of accomplishment and lend a sense of purpose
during a /me in which days can seem long.
ENLISTING FAMILY
8/21/14
11
ENLISTING FAMILY (BIOLOGICAL OR CREATED)
o Advise, screen, and support con/nuing care recommenda/ons
o Coordina/on and case management with all con/nuing care providers
Help the family to:
ENLISTING FAMILY (BIOLOGICAL OR CREATED)
o Re-‐integra/on planning including assis/ng in loca/ng twelve-‐step development and building a sober support network
o Address concerns related to early recovery issues in order to cul/vate healthy living
Help the family to:
ENLISTING FAMILY (BIOLOGICAL OR CREATED)
o Assist in development and implementa/on of a relapse preven/on plan
o Con/nue with psycho educa/onal work focusing on the disease of addic/on and recovery topics
Help the family to: Help the family to:
ENLISTING FAMILY (BIOLOGICAL OR CREATED)
o Promote family healing and long-‐term individual recovery
KEYS TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY
KEYS TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY
A solid support network.
Whether it comes from family, friends or those met during rehab, the individuals who enjoy the most success with their ongoing sobriety are those who have a strong network of support following treatment.
8/21/14
12
KEYS TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY
Good physical health. Individuals who are in good shape, exercising and ea/ng right are much more inclined to stay the course and maintain their sobriety in the long term.
KEYS TO LONG-TERM RECOVERY
Strong rela:onships.
Individuals who are married or have a close-‐knit family unit tend to stay sober longer.
These are families that can get through the tough /mes caused by addic/on, and heal broken rela/onships with family counseling and improved communica/on.
THE BEGINNING OF LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND THE END OF EARLY
RECOVERY
When does long term recovery start and early recovery end?
THE BEGINNING OF LONG-TERM RECOVERY AND THE END OF EARLY RECOVERY
o Early recovery is defined as learning how to live clean and sober.
o Long-‐term recovery is defined as pushing yourself to grow as a person.
o Of course, there is some overlap.
What Got You Clean And Sober Will Not Keep You Clean And Sober
COMMON MISCONCEPTION
o Complacency is one of the biggest enemies for long-‐term recovery.
o When recovering individuals start to coast, they are in trouble.
o Start with holis/c health and with helping others.
MEETING ATTENDANCE IS NOT ENOUGH IN THE LONGRUN
o 12-‐step mee/ngs are a wonderful tool unless the recovering individual is using them as a crutch.
o The trap is when people do not do enough outside of the mee/ngs to sustain their recovery.
o In long-‐term recovery, recovering individuals will not be dependent on mee/ngs to keep them sober.
8/21/14
13
Building a foundation in early recovery:
A NECESSARY FOUNDATION TO MOVE INTO LONG-TERM SOBRIETY
o Massive commitment by the recovering individual to themselves, that they will not use drugs or alcohol no maHer what.
o Taking massive ac/on by living in long-‐term treatment and following through with the program and the rules there.
o Actually taking sugges/ons and doing what successful people said to do.
The recovering individual seeks to grow as a “whole” person and not neglect any aspect of health.
RELAPSE PREVENTION DONE RIGHT IS A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Educa/onal
Emo/onal
Spiritual Physical
Social
Eliminating bad habits is really important in long-term recovery.
LEAVING BAD HABITS BEHIND
“Clear away the bad to make way for the good.”
Crea/ng the discipline to remove bad habits in one’s life makes way for tremendous growth opportuni/es.
o Getting started is hard.
o It may be hard or even painful for the first few months.
OFTEN UNDERESTIMATED: EXERCISE AND ITS IMPACT ON RECOVERY
The benefits the recovering individual gets out of vigorous exercise are going to be equal to the effort that they put into it.
Part of the transition from early recovery to long-term recovery is about achieving balance.
ACHIEVING A BALANCED LIFESTYLE
o early recovery is all about focus
o long-‐term recovery is all about holis/c growth
HAVING FUN IN LONG-TERM RECOVERY
o Their idea of what is “fun” is probably s/ll undergoing radical changes
o Relearn how to appreciate the simple things in life
o Happens naturally as a result of their growth experiences and interac/ons with others
8/21/14
14
Recovering individuals have to help others in recovery.
INSURANCE AGAINST RELAPSE: HELPING OTHERS IN RECOVERY
ü sponsor newcomers in recovery
ü aHend 12 step mee/ngs and share experiences
ü work in a local substance abuse facility ü connect with people via a recovery website Each goal that one achieves becomes a platform to reach the
next milestone.
MAKING GOALS & ACHIEVING THEM
o Early recovery is focused on goal-‐oriented progress.
o Growth is cumula/ve.
o Master one goal at a /me, and then move on.
FINDING PURPOSE & VISION IN RECOVERY
The recovering individual’s purpose and vision for long-‐term recovery will come to them over /me.
o Do not force it.
o Instead, follow the strategies for pursuing holis/c health and personal growth.
PUSHING RECOVERING INDIVIDUALS TO GROW IN THEIR RECOVERY
“What is the one thing I could change that would have the
biggest impact on my life right now?”
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS
CONCLUDING THOUGHTS – BOTTOM LINE
1. No single treatment is appropriate for all 2. Treatment needs to be readily available 3. Effec/ve treatment aHends to the mul/ple needs of the individual 4. Treatment plans must be assessed and modified con/nually to meet changing needs 5. Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of /me is cri/cal for treatment effec/veness 6. Counseling and other behavioral therapies are cri/cal components of effec/ve treatment 7. Medica/ons are an important element of treatment for many pa/ents 8. Co-‐exis/ng disorders should be treated in an integrated way 9. Medical detox is only the first stage of treatment 10. Treatment does not need to be voluntary to be effec/ve 11. Possible drug use during treatment must be monitored con/nuously 12. Treatment programs should assess for HIV/AIDS, Hepa//s B & C, Tuberculosis and other
infec/ous diseases and help clients modify at-‐risk behaviors 13. Recovery can be a long-‐term process and frequently requires mul/ple episodes of treatment 14. Remember Al-‐Anon as an op/on
