The document discusses dual diagnosis, which refers to the co-occurrence of mental health and substance use disorders. It notes that substance use is common among those with mental illness, with rates as high as 30-70% among those in treatment settings. Reasons for substance use among those with mental illness include self-medicating symptoms, countering medication side effects, and social factors. Integrated, holistic treatment is recommended that focuses on engagement and harm reduction rather than abstinence. Mainstreaming services within mental health systems while collaborating with addiction services is advocated.

Addiction {Co-Occurring} Mental Health Disorders Story of HOPE & SURVIVALMemoirs Rhonda Johnson
This document discusses co-occurring disorders, where an individual suffers from both a mental health disorder and substance abuse disorder. It notes that co-occurring disorders can be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms can mask one another. Only a small percentage of individuals receive treatment for both conditions. Those with co-occurring disorders face greater challenges including higher rates of issues like relapse and homelessness compared to those with a single disorder. The document advocates for greater understanding and treatment of co-occurring disorders.
This document discusses dual diagnostic disorders, which involve co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. It notes that dual diagnoses are common and treatment requires addressing both conditions simultaneously. Integrated treatment from the same clinician or team is most effective, treating the substance abuse and mental illness at the same time through counseling, education, and other services. For those with dual diagnoses, participating in integrated treatment can help reduce risks and support recovery from both conditions.
This document discusses a web conference on treating co-occurring disorders. It defines co-occurring disorders as the simultaneous existence of substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Approximately 50-75% of those with substance use disorders also have a mental health disorder. The document contrasts traditional treatment models with integrated treatment and argues that integrated treatment, which addresses both disorders simultaneously with one treatment team, has benefits over other models. It provides information on screening and assessment tools, levels of care, and evidence-based therapies for treating co-occurring disorders.
This document discusses dual diagnosis, which refers to co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. It provides definitions of dual diagnosis from medical taxonomy and from Williams, who describes four types: primary mental illness leading to substance use; primary substance use leading to psychiatric issues; dual primary diagnoses occurring simultaneously; and common etiological factors leading to both. The document analyzes four case studies according to Williams' definitions and provides recommendations for practitioners, including engagement, assessment, avoiding assumptions, optimism, harm reduction, information sharing, and multi-agency collaboration.

Training innovations dual diagnosis cambian fountains march 16Patrick Doyle
Dual Diagnosis describes the co-occurring problems of mental illness and substance misuse. However, the term 'dual' is something of a misnomer - the needs of this client group are often highly complex and extend beyond the relatively simplistic scenario implied by the term 'dual diagnosis'.

Tom Porpiglia presents on addictions and getting to the core issues. The document discusses addictions as dis-eases rather than diseases, caused by adverse childhood experiences that impact the mind-body connection. Porpiglia advocates treating the trauma underlying addictions, rather than just the symptoms, using a holistic approach like Emotional Freedom Techniques to resolve emotional wounds and reprogram beliefs. The goal is to reduce clients' pain and need to self-medicate by getting to and resolving the core issues driving their addictive behaviors.
Mental health encompasses social, emotional, and psychological well-being. The goal of treatment is to improve daily functioning and self-esteem. When people experience mood swings, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, anger or anxiety, it could indicate a mental illness. Mental illnesses are treatable through psychotherapy and medication. Common co-occurring disorders include major depressive disorder, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder. Mental illnesses have no single cause but are often due to a combination of issues like mood swings, depression, emotional outbursts, and compulsive behaviors.
Depression is common in elderly populations and can be difficult to identify. As occupational therapists are involved in home health and hospitals where depression frequently occurs, they are well-positioned to recognize, treat, and prevent depression. Major depression is characterized by changes in mood, sleep, appetite and energy levels. Elderly clients may experience the usual symptoms of depression or more age-related symptoms like fatigue or trouble sleeping. Occupational therapists can help clients engage in meaningful activities and manage depression by encouraging exercise, social support, and treatment adherence. Early identification and treatment of depression in elderly clients is important to improve outcomes.
The document discusses a presentation given by three occupational therapy students on depression in older adults. It begins with introducing the presenters and their backgrounds and qualifications. The presentation objectives are then outlined, which are to define key terms related to occupational therapy and depression, discuss symptoms and causes of depression, explain how occupational therapy can help those with depression, and describe the Geriatric Depression Scale assessment tool. The bulk of the document provides details on these topics, explaining concepts like occupational therapy, depression, the populations occupational therapists work with, and how the Geriatric Depression Scale is used to screen for depression in older adults.
Some behavioural addictions like problem gambling and internet pornography addiction carry risks of suicide due to increased shame, isolation, and depression when the behaviors are disclosed. Counselors should be aware of this risk and address suicidal ideation proactively with clients, especially males who may suppress emotions. Normalizing suicidal thoughts can help identify risk levels without increasing shame, and motivational interviewing can resolve ambivalence and build self-efficacy to reduce risks. However, counselors must consider individual factors and be careful not to suggest suicidal actions to vulnerable clients.

Part of the Addiction Counselor Certification Training Series. Theories of addiction including moral, medical
The document provides an overview of treatment for substance use disorders. It discusses that treatment involves planned activities to change behavior patterns and typically involves recognition of a problem, motivation to change, and one of three approaches: spontaneous remission, self-help groups, or professional treatment. It also outlines models of substance use disorders, common treatment settings and services, and pharmacological treatments.
This document discusses the treatment of depression in the elderly. It notes that while healthy older adults are not at greater risk of depression than younger adults, risk factors in the elderly include multiple losses, medical illness, and a history of previous depression. Depression is common in elderly patients with medical conditions like stroke, cancer, and heart disease. Treatment includes addressing any underlying medical causes or drugs that may be contributing, starting with low doses of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors which have fewer side effects in older patients, and considering psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or mood stabilizers if needed. Close monitoring for side effects and compliance is important when medicating elderly patients.
Eating disorders typically develop during late adolescence and are serious mental illnesses with high mortality rates. They impact people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and socioeconomic groups. Eating disorders arise from a complex combination of behavioral, biological, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors. People with negative body image are more likely to develop an eating disorder and suffer from low self-esteem and depression. When discussing concerns about possible eating disorders, the focus should be on health and well-being rather than weight or appearance. Issues may present differently for males due to greater stigma, so specific behaviors rather than labels should be discussed.

Working with schizophrenia, bipolar & substance misuse september 2015Patrick Doyle
The document provides information about a 2-day training course on working with individuals experiencing schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and substance misuse. The course objectives are to develop understanding of these conditions, explore best practices for engagement, and promote inclusion. The document outlines the agenda, which includes introductions, learning about symptoms and treatments for schizophrenia in the first part, and a discussion of dual diagnosis and mental health/substance misuse links.
The document discusses substance abuse among youth. It explores reasons for youth addiction such as peer pressure, home environment, and genetics. Media and celebrity influence are also examined. Specific substances abused by youth like alcohol, nicotine, and opioids are covered. Prevention and treatment of youth addiction through education, parental involvement, and rehabilitation are recommended.
This document discusses screening and assessment tools for alcohol use. It recommends the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) as the main screening tool for non-specialists to evaluate if someone would benefit from reducing their alcohol consumption. It also discusses screening vulnerable groups like pregnant women, younger people, older adults, and minorities. Brief assessment tools like the Fast Alcohol Screening Test (FAST) can check hazardous drinking levels. More detailed assessments tools are recommended if harm has been established or for specialist practitioners.
This document discusses drugs, drug abuse, and addiction. It defines drugs as substances that alter normal bodily function when absorbed into the body. Drug abuse is described as an intense desire to obtain increasing amounts of a substance, while drug dependence creates physical addiction and harm over time. The document categorizes common drugs as stimulants or depressants and explores reasons for drug abuse like peer pressure or using drugs to cope with problems. It notes that factors like genetics, personality, and environment can increase addiction risk. Treatment may involve therapy and withdrawal management to safely stop taking the addictive substance.
The correct answer is C. Apnea is not a symptom of depression. It denotes pause or absence of breathing during sleep and is not included in the DSM criteria for depression.
This document provides information about an employee recovery program called Bayside Private Group. It discusses what constitutes an alcohol or drug problem, how addiction affects the brain and behavior, and the impacts of substance use on the workplace. It then describes Bayside Private's inpatient treatment program, which takes a holistic approach to rebuild the mind, body and soul over 14-28 days using activities like exercise, nutrition, counseling and family support.

Drug addiction involves compulsively seeking to use a substance regardless of negative consequences. Certain drugs like narcotics and cocaine are more likely to cause physical dependence. Breaking an addiction is difficult but treatment including counseling and support groups can help support long-term recovery.
This document discusses mental health and substance abuse among adolescents. It defines health, mental health, and substance abuse. Common mental health problems among adolescents include depression, schizophrenia, suicide, and substance abuse. Stress, anxiety, depression, peer pressure, and lack of family support can contribute to mental health issues. The role of health workers is to identify problems early, provide counseling, and refer cases that require more specialized treatment. Prevention of substance abuse involves education on risks and building life skills while treatment involves addressing the underlying causes through counseling and engaging social support systems.

(MBRP) is a treatment approach developed at the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, for individuals in recovery for addictive behaviors.
MBRP is designed to bring practices of mindful awareness to individuals suffering from the addictive trappings of the mind. These practices are intended to foster increased awareness of triggers, destructive habitual patterns, and “automatic” reactions that seem to control many of our lives. The mindfulness practices in MBRP are designed to help us pause, observe present experience, and bring awareness to the range of choices before each of us in every moment. We learn to respond in ways that serves us, rather than react in ways that are detrimental to our health and happiness. Ultimately, we are working towards freedom from deeply ingrained and often catastrophic habits.
MBRP is designed as an aftercare program integrating mindfulness practices and principles with cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention. It is best suited to individuals who have undergone initial treatment and wish to maintain their treatment gains and develop a lifestyle that supports their well-being and recovery.
This document discusses whether alcoholism and drug addiction should be considered diseases. It notes that chemicals can be considered addictive if they are mind-altering, reinforcing, and euphoric.

The document explores how viewing addiction as a disease rather than a moral failing can help promote treatment. Brain imaging shows how drugs alter brain function and blood flow in ways that can hijack one's mind and life. Maintaining abstinence is important for recovery due to the chronic, relapsing nature of addiction.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. What is Addiction?
a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation,
memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits
leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and
spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual
pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use
and other behaviors.
Addiction is….
10. Addiction in the Workplace
• Abuse of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drugs is costly to our
Nation, exacting over $600 billion annually in costs related to
crime, lost work productivity and healthcare.
• Almost 1/2 of Americans entering the work force have used
an illicit drug once in the past year.
• Many of these drug users are prominent citizens in our
communities.
They are business owners, doctors, civic leaders, parents and
neighbors.
Consider the profile of a regular cocaine user:
• Well educated [average of 14 years of education]
• Employed [77%] and well-paid [37% earn over 25K]
• 56% engage in illegal activity other than drug possession to
support the habit.
11. Signs of A Problem?
• Erratic behavior
• Uneven performance
• Chronic tardiness and unexplained absences
• Other warning signs:
– mood swings
– deteriorating relationships with co-workers
– a sharp increase in job-related accidents
12. What’s behind an Intervention?
• Gather all the facts
• Suspend judgment – what may be perceived as addiction could be
something else.
• As an employer – to protect the company and the employee
• Some companies have “zero tolerance” policy.
• Others support individual in getting help – investment in employee is
much greater than termination and re-training.
• Identify key stakeholders to participate in meeting with employee.
• Provide options (utilize EAP or HR to address the company policy)
• Offer treatment options to help with recovery.
13. Treatment Options
• Outpatient Treatment
– Individual counselors work one on one with patient.
• Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP)
– 4x plus a week but can live at home and continue to work.
– Typically in a group setting with some individual counseling
• Residential Inpatient Treatment
– Most offer detoxification services
– Group therapy
– Specialty Programs (Gender Specific/Food and Mood/Trauma)
14.
15.
16. Other Support Groups
12 Step Programs (Not treatment)
– AA
– NA
– Al-anon (for families and friends)
The Twelve-step program is a set of guiding principles outlining a course of
action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems.
As summarized by the American Psychological Association, the process
involves the following:
• admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion;
• recognizing a higher power that can give strength;
• examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member);
• making amends for these errors;
• learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior;
• helping others who suffer from the same addictions or compulsions.
17. Is Recovery Possible?
What does success look like?
Treatment + 12 Step + Aftercare Monitoring =
80% can maintain successful long-term recovery.
