In this three-part presentation, participants will increase their understanding of: incorporating brain and addiction-related science to treatment, reframing co-dependency, and continuing care plans. Lisa Frederiksen is an author, speaker, and the founder of BreakingTheCycles.com. Lisa has been consulting, researching, writing, and speaking on substance abuse, addiction as a brain disease, education, prevention, intervention and treatment, dual diagnosis, secondhand drinking/drugging, underage drinking, and help for the family, all centered around 21st century brain and addiction-related research since 2003.

Three-Part Program Description
|
|
Part One: Incorporating Brain and Addiction-Related Science To Enhance Treatment and Long-Term Recovery
21st century brain and addiction-related science is revolutionizing our understanding of addiction, relevant risk factors for developing the disease, relapse, treatment, and long-term recovery. This science is giving people of all ages, when tailored properly, the information they've needed. The "why" and "how" to treat their addiction for what it is - a chronic, often relapsing, but treatable, brain disease. Gaining tools to deal with stress differently, to heal and re-wire their brains to insure long-term recovery.
Part Two: Reframing Co-Dependency - Secondhand Drinking/Drugging
In the world of addiction treatment and recovery, we often refer to family members and friends of our clients as "co-dependents". But it is a concept that does not make sense to those new to recovery terms. Secondhand Drinking (SHD) is a term to describe the impacts on the person who is on the receiving end of another person's drinking behaviors. Secondhand Drugging (SHD) similarly is a term to describe the impacts on the person on the receiving end of another person's drug misuse behaviors.
Part Three: Continuing Care - The Third Phase of Addiction Treatment and Recovery
There is the perception that after treatment all is well and life can return to normal. What is often missing is the understanding that addiction, like other diseases, requires the 3-stage disease management approach to treatment: detox, acute care/rehab, and continuing care. It is the latter - a comprehensive continuing care and follow-up plan that is often missing in addiction treatment.
|
- Increase understanding of the new brain and addiction research as it relates to the development of the brain disease of addiction. Especially brain development, risk factors, mental illness, and thus the importance of treating co-occurring disorders simultaneously.
-
Increase understanding of secondhand drinking, especially as it relates to the brain changes and physical and emotional outcomes of the chronic activation of the fight-or-flight stress response system. Why family therapy and understanding of these concepts is important to individual family member health and support of a client's long-term recovery. Participation in a family continuing care plan, as well as in breaking the cycle SHD sets up in children to develop the disease themselves.
-
Increase awareness of the 3-stage disease management approach to addiction treatment. Increase use of detailed Continuing Care Plans to implement stage 3.
Workshop participants will receive 6.5 CEU credits through the Florida Certification Board.
