Case Study : Abc Recovery Center

Alcoholics Anonymous is needed as it carries its message of recovery to the alcoholics seeking help for their addiction. It is

Despite the higher cost, a high-end substance abuse treatment center does not constitute better treatment. The support of therapists, counselors, family, friends, and peers can all be important factors in the recovery process. The most significant factor for an individual in the recovery process is a desire and a willingness to change. Many options exist for individuals that want to recover from addiction. These options include substance abuse rehabilitation centers and support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery. These programs all have the same goal but use different techniques that at times even contradict other programs. Although the approach of the programs may vary, they have all been proven to work for certain

Celebrate Recovery is a self-help recovery program that contains a heavy emphasis on Christ and seeking healing through Him. There is a strong religious focus so individuals feel like they have help that is unconditional and they are surrounded by a body of individuals who are struggling with similar situations as well. Although these individuals cannot provide the answers or healing for one another, they are the support, a body, a family, and create a safe environment for fellow participants. Moreover, with this focus on Christs healing powers in their lives, the program emphasizes the eight recovery principles in the Beatitudes as well as the twelve-steps (similar to those used in Alcoholics Anonymous). I, therefore, attended a Celebrate Recovery meeting at the fellowship church in Rogers, AR on October seventh, two thousand sixteen.

Even just being there, listening to others peoples story will still make a difference in their life. An additional issue that these people face is hitting rock bottom where they have lost everything in life like, friends, family and themselves. One person went through this dramatic realization that alcohol was ruining his life where at one point he lost his house, wife and became homeless. The leader of the AA meeting gave him a chance to get his life together and make him get his life before alcoholism became his happiness. He admitted and accepted that he was an alcoholic and he told us that the AA meetings have turned his life around. Another issue is trying other drugs that cause a synergistic effect that may result them to relapse. I heard one of the patients stating that when they had the urge to drink or try drugs that they would call their fellow members from the group meeting to get support, to help them fight the urge to pick up a

Addictions is something that many people in the community face. Being able to have a support group in the community can help in the recovery process. This writer was able to attend two different support groups for different addictions. The first group this writer attended was an Alcohol Anonymous support group (AA). The second group attended was Over Eaters Anonymous support group (OA). It took this writer three tries before a meeting was found. When this writer looked online for a meeting, the first location visited, a gentleman stated there has not been an AA meeting held there in eight years. Another gentleman at the second location stated it has been five years since it was a meeting location; when it held meetings, it was for Hispanic

I chose this agency based on my willingness to learn about the recovery options for those who are affected by drugs and alcohol addiction as alcohol and drug addiction are not only Kentucky’s but also national epidemic

“Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.” AA is managed and run by recovering addicts. This provides an organic nature to the healing process for those struggling with alcoholism. Additionally, their structure promotes a level of openness and honesty which most have never seen. In my time with the Mountain View AA group I witnessed honesty, support, accountability, and celebration. These four elements combined create what I believe to be a powerful tool in the fight against addiction.

For example, the National Institute on Drug Abuse leads the nation in scientific research on the health aspects of drug abuse and addiction. The Addiction Services Council is another clearinghouse for resources. Treatment programs include the Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program, Talbert House, and the Central Community Health Board. Most important, the addict needs to take the first step of recovery by admitting powerlessness over addiction and having unmanageable lives. Also, Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.), a self-help and 12-step program for addicts, provides ongoing support ( ). N.A. can help addicts maintain good quality abstinence, deal with drug cravings and other triggers, and discontinue associating with drug-related people, places, and things. NarAnon Family Groups is a self-help and 12-step program for addicts’ families and friends. NarAnon helps significant others to discontinue enabling behaviors. Enabling is shield addicts from the consequences of their negative behaviors. The support group teaches loved ones not to make excuses for the addict, not to allow the addict to abuse them, and their families ( ). Ultimately, interventions to heroin addiction can lead to recovery, which happened to Mr. Holland and Sue, but they relapsed and had different outcomes.

Description: The group I have chosen to write about is, Nar-Anon. Nar-Anon, is a group designed to help the individual’s family, cope with having a loved one, addicted to drugs or alcohol. The goal is to help them find a way to become free from the entrapment of the loved ones addiction. When an individual is addicted to drugs or alcohol they are not alone.

The location of the meeting is at St. Marks Church 325 Walnut St. Hazard, Kentucky 41701. This is a very inviting group with a light

Substance abuse addictions are multifactorial disorders that not only leads to directly destroying the individual, but also effects the families and the community of the abuser. By having one centralized facility, using a team approach that requires collaboration, and offers multiple options for treatment will benefit not only the individual, but the community as a whole. For treatment to be successful it requires a multifaceted approach that is offered in many different settings, using evidence based, and therapeutic approaches, with medication-assisted treatments as an option.

The reason I am doing this is because I am curious to which program better suits and addict, either a faith based recovery group, or a self-help one. I want to find out what most addicts choose in the world, and the reasons for which one most of them choose.
