The HEALTHY HEALING ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM is a comprehensive, multidimensional alternative holistic counseling/coach approach to healing from addiction on an individual basis. This program was just launched in July, 2009, by Lifestyle Changes Counseling Services as an alternative to more traditional programs: http://www.lifestylechangescounseling.com
This blog is to provide information about the program, share test cases already completed, and follow the year long test case presently in progress.
While developing the contents of the HEALTHY HEALING PROGRAM NIDA’s 12 principles for effective addiction treatment were also considered:
1. Clients to be matched to the most appropriate treatment setting, intervention, and services
2. Readily available
3. Needs to attend to multiple needs of the individual including associated medical, social, psychological, vocational, and legal problems
4. Treatment must be an adequate period of time for effectiveness
5. Combine individual and/or group counseling and other behavioral therapies
6. Medications when indicated
7. Integrated treatment of coexisting mental disorders
8. Detoxification as first stage of treatment
9. Voluntary, as well as, enticements and/or sanctions by family, employment, criminal justice system are means to treatment
10. Monitoring of possible drug/alcohol use during treatment
