A successful addiction recovery process involves ongoing, supportive social connections and lifestyle changes that require new roles, relationships and resources for navigating daily life. Understand the treatment challenges that addictive thinking poses long after the substance use has stopped, and learn to support clients through direct experiences that cultivate ways of thinking and problem-solving for a satisfying life in recovery. Examine addiction treatment strategies that introduce experiences that facilitate your client’s ability to learn about the tools of recovery while trying them out in real time. Learn creative/experiential methods using evidence-based techniques that engage your clients in the process of learning skills they need to use and reciprocate social support, manage cravings and the difficult emotions and stresses that drive them, and work through the many changes that come with shifting into life beyond active addiction. This course is an introduction to the theory and techniques that facilitate learning through direct engagement that integrates cognitive, emotional and social functioning.
