Opis

The author developed interest in the study of addiction after witnessing the impact of drug and alcohol on individuals and their families. The author believed addiction is a disease and the impact of addiction on every day life is real and can not be ignored. Therefore, understanding pre-treatment addiction relapse triggers will be one way of helping individuals caught in the web of daily alcohol and drug use identify, understand the categories, patterns, feelings and level of risk associated with drug and alcohol use. Equally important is the information on pre-treatment addiction relapse triggers necessary for planning relapse intervention before an individual is discharged in to the same or similar community he or she relapsed and arrested. Out of this emerging need and necessity, the author developed Qualitative therapy for use in group process for identifying pre-treatment addiction relapse triggers and qualitative analysis for analyzing categories, patterns, feelings and trigger risk a group or individual may be exposed to if discharged into same or similar environment and be able to learn about what is driving individuals to drug and alcohol use or making stops at liquor stores and street drug corners to shop for alcohol and street drugs. The author hopes that the information presented in this book will increase awareness about pre-treatment addiction relapse triggers and will guide policy makers, program managers, program directors, therapist, clinicians, counselors, enforcement officers and drug court staff plan effective interventions to minimize pre-mature treatment termination, repeated relapses and allow clinicians present and future develop drug and alcohol treatment goals and objectives based on identifying, categories, patterns and risk analysis of pre-treatment addiction relapse triggers a process discussed in this book and thus increased treatment and recovery prospect for individuals and families affected by drug and alcohol use.
