Helping Professionals Workshop
Linda Scott will be speaking to community mental health professionals
at Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health on October 3, 2008. Free
CEUs available.
Free lecture to the public to be announced
Addictive behaviors- Exploring the need for variety in therapeutic
approach
This helping professionals workshop will look at addictive behaviors
on a continuum and explore the growing need for variety in therapeutic
approaches including harm reduction, moderation and abstinence.
We will examine why many treatment providers in the US adhere to
a “one size fits all” approach and mandate that the
12-Steps - a spiritually based program - and total abstinence are
the only acceptable options despite the success of alternatives
to abstinence and harm reduction therapies in Europe and Canada.
We will discuss the efficacy of treatment centers that are designed
for a minority of drinkers with the most severe problems while a
larger group of individuals with less severe problem drinking patterns
are often excluded from treatment if they are not willing to comply
with the programs’ abstinence-only policies. We will explore
the origins of programmatic resistance to alternatives and discuss
ways to help people who have rejected traditional treatments find
alternatives so that they can work toward positive behavioral change. |
