HEALTHY HEALING: NIDA GOAL TWO

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 is an ongoing blog to educate the public about this new approach to addiction treatment, and to welcome feedback and suggestions for strengthening what has already been developed.

As mentioned in previous blog entries the HEALTHY HEALING ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM utilized NIDA’s basic goals of treatment to develop this new model. NIDA’s basic goals include:

1. Maximizing motivation for abstinence
2. Maximizing physical and mental health
3. Rebuilding a drug-free (healthy) lifestyle.

Today we look at how the HEALTHY HEALING ADDICTION TREATMENT PROGRAM address NIDA’s second basic goal.

NIDA GOAL TWO: Maximizing physical and mental health

Clients are assigned a HEALTHY HEALING ADDICTION COUNSELOR that will be with them throughout their program.

During the first six months of treatment, HEALTHY HEALING ADDICTION COUNSELORS guide the client through the detoxification process, develops a healing environment, share knowledge of addiction, strategize individual approaches for relapse prevention, address core issues and helps identify client’s religious/spiritual path.

Next time I will discuss NIDA’s third basic goal: Rebuilding a drug-free (healthy) lifestyle.

This blog is to provide information about the HEALTHY HEALING program, share test cases already completed, and follow the year long test case presently in progress.
