4 Guiding Principles of Recovery Recovery emerges from hope: The belief that recovery is real provides the essential and motivating message of a better future 226 that people can and do overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. Recovery is person-driven: Self-determination and self-direction are the design their unique path(s). Recovery occurs via many pathways: Individuals are unique with distinct needs, strengths, preferences, goals, culture, and backgrounds 226 including trauma experiences 226 that affect and determine their pathway(s) to recovery. Abstinence is the safest approach for those with substance use disorders. Recovery is holistic: Recovery encompasses an individual222s whole life, including mind, body, spirit, and community. The array of services and supports available should be integrated and coordinated. Recovery is supported by peers and allies: Mutual support and mutual aid groups, including the sharing of experiential knowledge and skills, as well as social learning, play an invaluable role in recovery. Recovery is supported through relationship and social networks: An important factor in the recovery process is the presence and involvement of people who believe in the person222s ability to recover; who offer hope, support, and encouragement; and who also suggest strategies and resources for change. background in all of its diverse representations 226 including values, traditions, and beliefs 226 are keys in determining a person222s journey and unique pathway to recovery. Recovery is supported by addressing trauma: Services and supports should be trauma-informed to foster safety (physical and emotional) and trust, as well and promote choice, empowerment, and collaboration. Recovery involves individual, family, and community strengths and responsibility: Individuals, families, and communities have strengths and resources that serve as a foundation for recovery. Recovery is based on respect: acceptance and appreciation for people affected by mental health and substance use problems 226 including protecting their rights and eliminating discrimination 226 are crucial in achieving recovery.

5 Signs and Symptoms of Family, Friends or Loved Ones Who Have a Problem with Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs Sometimes it is tough to tell. Most people won222t walk up to someone they222re close to and ask for help. In fact, they will probably do everything possible to deny or hide the problem. But, there are certain warning signs that may indicate that someone is using drugs and drinking too much alcohol. Common signs and symptoms of drug abuse classes, skipping work, neglecting your children) because of drug use. Using drugs under dangerous conditions or taking risks while high, such as driving while on drugs, using dirty needles, or having unprotected sex. Drug use is causing legal trouble, such as arrests for disorderly drug habit. with a partner or family members, an unhappy boss, or the loss of old friends. Common signs and symptoms of drug addiction A drug tolerance is built up. More of the drug is needed to experience the same effect one used to attain with smaller amounts. Drugs are taken to avoid or relieve withdrawal symptoms. Going too long without drugs causes symptoms such as nausea, restlessness, insomnia, depression, sweating, shaking, and anxiety.

Drug and alcohol problems can affect every one of us regardless of age, sex, race, marital status, place of residence, income level, or lifestyle. Drug abusers often try to conceal their symptoms and downplay their problem.

7 Skills to Help Your Child Lead a Healthy, Drug Free Life Drug abuse can be prevented and addiction is a treatable illness. Substance abuse is a preventable problem . We, as parents, are much more powerful than we think. Disappointing us is the number one reason why kids do not use drugs, and kids who learn about drug risks from parents are only half as likely to start using. Get and stay closely involved with your kids222 lives as they head through middle and high school. You won222t connect well with your kids about serious health issues if you haven222t been interested in the day-to-day which of their friends got a part in the play, who lied to their parents and went down to the party over the weekend with drugs and alcohol. Begin the dialogue when your kids are young . Talk early and often. It doesn222t have to be a formal 223birds and bees224 type discussion, but should springboard off 223teachable moments224 227 like an incident in their town or school, a problem in your extended family, a popular music video or movie, or something on the news. Set a 223no-use224 expectation, including for alcohol, and make it explicit. Monitor your kids . Kids whose parents supervise them closely are only half as likely to develop a drug problem. Know the 223who, what, why, where, when224 of their activities, compare notes with other parents, and continue this practice as kids hit middle school, even when you no longer know all their friends, and friends222 families. Be the parent, not just the pal . Your kids already have friends, but they apply even when kids are in other settings, or with families that have different rules. Teens like to be trusted, and will feel supported by clear and consistent boundaries that are explained in advance and are based on our love and concern for their well-being. Addiction is a health problem . It does not happen because someone is 223a bad person,224 but is an illness that is in fact the number one preventable adolescent health problem. (The American Academy of Pediatrics). It is not your fault. Stigma and shame due to past ignorance and stereotypes about the problem are unwarranted. A drug disorder can take over your life, and cause you to lie, steal and act badly toward even those you love. However, addiction has a physiological basis; chronic alcohol and other drug use change the brain and body chemistry, making it hard to stop. Thirty years ago, families were told: your son needs to develop will-power to stop using cocaine. Now we know better.

8 There is hope, help and healing available for your family if someone develops a substance abuse problem. There are objective ways to assess the problem, and many new treatments. Millions of people recover their health and turn their whole lives around, even though they tend not to be as visible as the public struggles of celebrities addicted to substances. Don222t wait 227 know the warning signs and act early . If you suspect your child has a drug or alcohol problem, you are probably right, and need to the right type of help, and be persistent. Warning signs include sudden changes (which are otherwise unexplained) in personality, irritability drug paraphernalia. There are objective 223screener224 short questionnaires that you can answer to determine the sort of problem you222re facing. It222s a myth that someone has to hit 223rock bottom224 before seeking and getting help. Without help, addiction tends to progress and can, eventually, be fatal. Although earlier intervention is best, it is possible to get help at any stage, and success rates with quality treatment are comparable to those for other illnesses like diabetes, asthma, or hypertension. Help is not just 223rehab.224 Most people recover from addiction without formal, in-patient treatment, or 223rehab.224 There are many paths to wellness, including out-patient medical help, and sometimes a combination of treatment and a 12-Step, self-help program, which holds free meetings any time during the week, near enough to get to. Addiction runs in families , similar to illnesses like cancer or heart disease. Kids who have a family pattern are at much higher risk of addiction if they use drugs or alcohol at all; no recreational use can stay safely under control, particularly during the formative years of adolescence. Families with a history of alcoholism or drug addiction should talk about this, so their kids are aware. If there is a problem developing, family involvement and support makes treatment work better. Everyone 226 the addicted child and the parents and siblings 226 need strong help and mutual support to solve the problem. You are not alone . Substance abuse is common among teens, and drug addiction doesn222t discriminate. It cuts across race, gender and economic lines, every region of this country, and every walk of life. Most people now know someone who has struggled with addiction, and one in four teenagers is living with an addicted parent. Take heart. More encouragement and information and professional support to heal this problem.

Based on resources from The Partnership for a Drug-Free America Internet site http://www.drugfree.org June 9, 2005 What To Say When Your Child Asks, 224Did You Ever Use Drugs?224 One of the questions you222ll be sure to be asked is whether or not you have done drugs yourself. There are many responses if you experimented in the past. Today222s drugs are much stronger than they were when you were young. You can say that you222re sorry, and wish you had never tried drugs. Just don222t let your teen manipulate you into a Focus on the issue at hand 227 you don222t want your teen doing drugs or drinking. Be honest 227 but be sure they know you don222t want them using. If you use tobacco and your child calls you on this, mention that you are an adult, and yes, you can do this since it222s legal 227 but you understand that you shouldn222t and it222s not healthy. Underscore how hard it is to stop as an adult and that you want to help your child to avoid making the same mistakes. If you222re in recovery, think of your past experiences as a gift you can use to impact your child. Tell your teen, 223I did these things but I made wrong choices and I want you to learn the lessons from my mistakes.224 Courtesy of: Growing Up Drug Free

10 The Link Between Substance Abuse and Sexual Violence The relationship between substance abuse and sexual violence goes both ways. People who have experienced sexual violence are more likely to abuse substances. At the same time, people who abuse substances are at a higher risk to become victims of sexual violence. Substance abuse and sexual assault both carry a great deal of social stigma, but when a victim/survivor has experienced both, the stigma can of the healing process. For example, the media constantly reinforces the idea that drinking and sex go hand-in-hand, which can contribute to feelings of shame and self-blame. Even if a victim of sexual assault willingly drank alcohol or took drugs, the victim is not at fault for being assaulted. Increased Chances of Becoming a Victim of Sexual Violence : Sexual violence can happen to anyone, but certain risk factors and vulnerabilities can increase the likelihood of it happening to you. Abuse of alcohol and/or drugs is one of these factors. The stereotypical rape scenario does not involve drinking or drugs; however, in reality, it often does. A high percentage of adult victims were intoxicated at the time of their assault, and therefore unable to give consent. Alcohol and drug use have been shown to increase vulnerability to violence through exposure to unsafe situations. Teens with drug problems are 18-21 times more likely to be sexually abused. Approximately one-half of all sexual assault victims report that they were drinking alcohol at the time of their assault. This does not mean that substance use causes sexual violence, but rather suggests that perpetrators target victims who are perceived as vulnerable. Perpetrators often use substances to incapacitate their victims in order to facilitate a sexual assault. Alcohol is the drug most commonly used by perpetrators to help commit sexual assault. Increased Chances of Substance Abuse : Subsequently, victims of sexual assault may use alcohol or drugs to cope with their feelings after the assault. Many victims experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder emotions, and painful memories. Rape victims are 3.4 times more likely to use marijuana, 5.3 times more likely to use prescription drugs for non- medicinal purposes, 6.4 times more likely to use cocaine, and 10 times more likely to use hard drugs other than cocaine. Studies have shown a strong relationship between substance abuse and sexual abuse, even for those who did not use substances prior to

11 the assault. Men and women reporting sexual abuse have higher rates of alcohol and drug use disorders than other men and women. Abuse victims reported initiating substance use earlier than their non-abused peers. Men and women who experienced childhood sexual abuse are even more at risk for substance abuse issues later in life. Nearly 90% of alcoholic women were sexually abused as children or suffered severe violence at the hands of the parent. Seeking Treatment as a Victim and Substance Abuser: When seeking help for dealing with substance abuse and sexual violence, it is important that treatment deals with both components and their interaction because they are intertwined. The key to effective treatment is a thorough professional evaluation and the development of an individualized treatment plan to deal with these issues. ( Source: Dawgert, Sarah (2009).

12 Principles of a Comprehensive, Continuous, Integrated System of Care (CCISC) 1. Dual Diagnosis is an expectation, not an exception 2. Treatment success derives from the implementation of an empathetic, hopeful, continuous treatment relationship, which provides integrated treatment and coordination of care through the course of multiple treatment episodes. 3. The four Quadrant Model is a viable mechanism for categorizing individuals with co-occurring disorders for the purpose of service planning and system responsibility. 4. Within the context of the empathetic, hopeful, continuous, integrated relationship, case management/care and empathic detachment/confrontation are appropriately balanced at each point in time. 5. When substance disorder and psychiatric disorder co-exist, each disorder should be considered primary and integrated dual primary treatment is recommended, where each disorder 6. Both substance dependence and serious mental illness are examples of primary, chronic, biologic mental illnesses, which can be understood using a disease and recovery model, with parallel phases of recovery. 7. There is no one type of dual diagnosis program or intervention. 8. In an integrated system, individualized treatment matching also requires multidimensional level of care assessment involving acuity, dangerousness, motivation, capacity for treatment adherence and availability of continuing empathic treatment relationships and other recovery supports.

13 Insurance Information When seeking treatment, it is important to contact your insurance provider given to you by the insurance company. By doing this your out-of-pocket expenses will be greatly reduced, and in some instances may cover the full amount. Some insurances require a referral from your physician. In this case it will be up to you to contact your physician to obtain this referral. The treatment program will need to get a copy of your insurance card and sign a release to call the insurance company to get an authorization for treatment. When you have insurance and the insurance company does not cover the program of your choice, you may still go to that program but you may be charged the full fee because of each treatment provider to verify your insurance status. This may be in When your insurance company does not cover treatment or if you do not have insurance there are programs which allow you to pay on a sliding scale, based on family income and number of dependents. Some individuals may be eligible for programs such as Medicaid and Primary
