Addiction is like a tree
Addiction develops from behaviors driven by pain, shame, and secrets that provide temporary relief but do not cure the underlying issues. The addictive behaviors are like a tree with roots representing the causes of addiction such as abuse, trauma, genetics, loneliness, fear, shame, guilt and anger. As long as the root causes are not addressed, the addictive symptoms will return and potentially worsen over time. Recovery requires addressing the underlying causes that contribute to feeling stuck and fuel addictive patterns.

familyaddictionroles
The document discusses how addiction can imbalance family roles. When a family member is addicted, new roles emerge to relieve pain and keep the family together. These roles include "The Star" (the addict), "The Chief Enabler" (usually a spouse who enables the addiction), "The Hero" (an older child who tries to help the family), "The Forgotten Child" (a younger child who escapes the problem), "The Scapegoat" (who assumes blame for the family), and "The Clown" (who provides comic relief to divert attention from the addiction). These new roles unintentionally allow the addict to avoid facing their problem.
Distress Tolerance Skills and Activities
This document outlines techniques for distress tolerance presented by Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes. The objectives are to define the goals of distress tolerance, discuss why clients may not choose it, and explore various skills including STOP, pros and cons, TIP, ACCEPTS, self-soothing, IMPROVE the moment, radical acceptance, and turning the mind. Distress tolerance aims to help clients accept, find meaning in, and tolerate distress and pain, which are natural parts of life. It teaches skills to survive crises by accepting reality in the present moment without trying to change feelings, thoughts, or urges. The document provides explanations and examples of various distress tolerance and reality acceptance skills.
Trauma and trauma-informed care
This document provides an overview of trauma and trauma-informed care. It defines trauma as experiences that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope, such as abuse, violence, loss or disasters. Trauma has widespread impacts on physical, emotional and cognitive functioning. High rates of trauma are seen in populations experiencing homelessness, addiction and mental illness. The core principles of trauma-informed care emphasize safety, trust, choice and empowerment. Trauma-informed practices view behaviors as adaptations to past trauma and focus on building safety and resilience. Implementing trauma-informed care requires organizational changes and self-care to prevent burnout among providers from secondary traumatic stress.
Addiction-and-Codependency
The document discusses family roles that can develop in families affected by addiction. It describes six common roles: 1) The Addict, who is the center of attention due to their addiction issues. 2) The Hero, who ignores problems and presents an overly positive image. 3) The Mascot, who uses inappropriate humor to draw attention away from issues. 4) The Lost Child, who is quiet and avoids any discussion of addiction issues. 5) The Scapegoat, who acts out to divert attention from the addict's need for help. 6) The Enabler, who makes excuses and avoids acknowledging addiction problems to keep everyone happy. These roles can lead family members, especially children, to develop codependent behaviors as

Links between Childhood Trauma and Adult Disease: Becoming Trauma Informed
Description: The Adverse Childhood Experiences Study is perhaps the largest of its kind. Evidence from this extensively published research project will be presented along with proposals for addiction evaluation, treatment and policy. View evidence which demonstrate that, 1. ACEs are common, threatening, and often denied; 2. ACEs have a profound effect even 50 years later on addiction, health risks, diseases, and death; and 3. This combination makes ACEs the leading determinant of the health and social well-being of the nation and the major factor underlying addictions. In this presentation, we will review some of the evidence and discuss implications for evaluation, treatment, and policy. The presenter will also add her own theories on treatment and present a theoretical overview of Strategic Trauma and Abuse Recovery© which she developed for her dissertation.

Cognitive distortions are the everyday errors that we make in translating the thoughts, ideas, and things we see around us, using words. These are 10 of the top cases of distorted thinking that we have all made, at one time or another. melaniecgallo.com
Hoarding disorder
Hoarding disorder is characterized by persistent difficulty discarding possessions due to a perceived need to save them. This results in severely cluttered living spaces that impair daily functioning. While hoarding was previously considered a symptom of OCD, it is now recognized as a distinct disorder in the DSM-5. Hoarding is common in the population but problematic hoarding involves excessive acquisition and saving along with associated distress and impairment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication are effective treatment options that help individuals discard items and improve related skills and symptoms.

It describes the social conditions that can lead to prolonged trauma such as child abuse, domestic violence, human trafficking, slavery, torture and concentration camps. It outlines the typical symptom profile of complex PTSD including somatization, dissociation, affect dysregulation, re-enactments and revictimization. It also discusses how prolonged trauma can distort personality, relationships and perception of the perpetrator.
Dbt substance abuse presentation
Dr. Alicia Lawson presented on using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to treat substance abuse. [1] DBT combines cognitive behavioral therapy, validation, and dialectics. [2] It teaches skills to reduce distress and prevent relapse, including coping with urges and triggers. [3] Choosing the right skill depends on accurately assessing the situation and needs of the individual.
Schema Therapy
This document provides an overview of schema therapy. It discusses how schemas develop from unmet emotional needs in childhood and shape maladaptive behaviors and lifetraps in adulthood. Eighteen early maladaptive schemas are organized into five domains: disconnection/rejection, impaired autonomy/performance, impaired limits, other-directedness, and overvigilance/inhibition. Lifetraps perpetuate schemas through cognitive distortions, self-defeating patterns, and coping styles. The goal of schema therapy is to help patients overcome schemas and lifetraps to better meet core emotional needs.
Shame (1) (1)
This document discusses shame, its origins, and how it relates to addiction. It defines shame as an intensely painful feeling of being flawed and unworthy of love. Shame is normally developed in early childhood through interactions with caregivers. For addicts, shame can drive substance abuse as a means to escape feelings of shame, though this creates an addictive spiral. Overcoming shame requires developing self-compassion and replacing shame with self-affirmation. Therapies aim to help people directly experience and soothe shame through social connection and self-care.
Healing Trauma through Somatic Experiencing and Gestalt Therapy

The document emphasizes strengths-based and solution-focused approaches, co-constructed change, and the importance of self-reflection for therapists.
Codependency and Abandonment Fears
This document discusses addressing co-dependency and abandonment fears. It defines co-dependency as basing one's self-worth on rescuing others, and explores how co-dependent behaviors stem from low self-esteem and fears of abandonment. The document reviews attachment theory, outlines core abandonment beliefs like mistrust and defectiveness, and provides questions therapists can ask clients to help them recognize abandonment triggers and choose more constructive responses. The goal is to help clients develop self-worth and form healthy relationships.
Relapse Prevention
Relapse is a complex process that can occur at different levels of severity for those recovering from substance use disorders. The document discusses barriers to healthcare professionals seeking treatment, stages of relapse, determinants of relapse, and consequences for professionals who relapse, emphasizing that their recovery requires lifelong management due to the risk they pose if relapsing in practice. Protecting the public is the primary goal of professional health programs.

1. Addiction is a brain disease that affects the limbic brain's reward system and results in drug use becoming equated with survival.
2. Genetic factors determine vulnerability to addiction by influencing how individuals respond to drugs and experience pleasure and stress.
3. Addictive drugs and behaviors hijack the brain's natural reward pathway by flooding it with dopamine and strengthening drug-related memories through glutamate.
4. Chronic stress, drug cues, and relapse are all mediated by the brain's stress systems and the neurotransmitter CRF, which further weakens the reward system over time.

Healing The Addicted Brain
Information and overview of important content of Harold Urschel's book: Healing the Addicted Brain: The Revolutionary, Science-Based Alcoholism and Addiction Recovery Program
Down regulation and addiction-most updated
1. Addiction is associated with changes in the brain's reward system and neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Drugs hijack the brain's natural reward pathways, triggering feelings of pleasure.
2. With repeated use, the brain adapts by reducing dopamine production and increasing the number of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors. This leads to withdrawal symptoms when not on drugs, and cravings and compulsive drug seeking.
3. Addiction involves changes in both the old brain regions associated with pleasure and survival, and the new brain regions associated with self-control. This combination of reward pathways and impaired self-regulation promotes continued drug use despite negative consequences.

Based on his symptoms, it is suspected he had used cocaine or opiates. The document discusses how these drugs act on the brain's reward pathway similarly to stimulate dopamine and cause addiction.
Addiction and the_brain
The document discusses how addiction affects the brain. Genetics account for 40-60% of addiction risk, with low dopamine levels increasing risk. Addictive drugs increase dopamine levels in the brain's reward centers beyond normal levels. All addictions impact the lower central brain regions controlling automatic functions and the cortex. The brain's structure and chemistry can be permanently altered by addiction, though recovery is possible over many years as the brain heals.
Juvenile Addiction-Basketball Diaries
This presentation was based on a graduate level Addictions class requirement. The assignment asked students to chose a movie or television show as a group that illustrates the theme of addiction through one of the main characters. First the students will determine a diagnosis of one of the characters in the movie. In addition, students will be required to provide a treatment plan. The group presentation should (1) include a detailed client description, including the issues of concern. It should be evident that a mental status exam was completed, (2) reflect a thorough understanding of the client’s bio/psycho/social profile, (3) reflect any culturally relevant information that may impact the course of treatment and addiction, (4) provide some psychoeducation on the client’s drug of choice, and (5) develop an effective treatment plan for the addiction. Your chosen treatment plan and interventions should be reflective of best practice and be empirically supported.
Substance Abuse Disorders for NCMHCE Study
This document reviews DSM-5 mental disorders and provides information on alcohol use disorder. It lists 11 substance-related disorders and gambling disorder. It then describes the diagnosis of alcohol use disorder, requiring 2 of 11 symptoms in the last 12 months, and lists common comorbid disorders as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and antisocial personality disorder. The document outlines 6 steps for assessment and treatment: gathering history and assessing functioning, referring for evaluation, using screening tests, providing psychoeducation and treatment like CBT and 12-step programs, monitoring progress, and planning for termination of treatment.
Addiction –a brain disease
This document provides an overview of addiction as a brain disease, summarizing how drugs affect the brain's reward system and neurotransmitters. It describes the central nervous system, neurons, and key brain areas involved in addiction like the ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens, and prefrontal cortex. Withdrawal symptoms for different drug classes like alcohol, sedatives, stimulants, and opioids are outlined. Long term recovery involves outpatient support, meetings, counseling and potentially residential care.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is the education of individuals regarding psychological or physical conditions that cause stress. It aims to improve understanding and management of the condition. Psychoeducation can be delivered in individual, family, group or social settings. It covers topics like the diagnosis, treatment, stigma reduction, lifestyle management and building self-efficacy. Research shows psychoeducation reduces relapse rates and hospitalizations for conditions like bipolar disorder when added to standard treatment. It is an effective support intervention for conditions affecting mental health and quality of life.
The Physiology of Addiction - February 2012
"The Physiology of Addiction" was presented on Tuesday February 21, 2012, by Dr. Carl Christensen, MD, PhD, FACOG, CRMO, ABAM. This program explores the differences in neurochemistry between the addicted brain and the normal brain, the progression of physiological changes that occur in people with alcohol/other drug addiction, the mechanisms of physiologic tolerance and withdrawal, and the effects of treatment on the addicted brain. This program is part of the Dawn Farm Education Series, a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family and related issues. The Education Series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a continuum of chemical dependency services.

The document discusses how three neurotransmitters - dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline - play key roles in addiction. Dopamine is involved in reward pathways and addictive drugs mimic its effects, increasing risk of addiction to stimulants for those with excess dopamine. Serotonin regulates mood, and low levels increase risks of addiction to alcohol and opioids. Too much noradrenaline causes anxiety, raising risks of addiction to anti-anxiety drugs. Genetics and environmental stress can also influence addiction risks by impacting neurotransmitter balances. Treatment aims to stabilize neurotransmitter levels through medication or behavior changes.
Physiology of drug addiction
This document summarizes the physiology of drug addiction. It begins by defining drugs and discussing drugs of abuse. It then describes the nervous system and components like neurons, neurotransmitters, and receptors. It explains how drugs act on receptors in the reward pathway in the brain, especially stimulating dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. Repeated drug use can cause tolerance, dependence, and reward deficiency as the brain adapts. Addiction involves changes in neurobiology and loss of control over drug intake despite negative consequences.
Power Point Drug Abuse
The most common drug is marijuana. Marijuana use is increasing while opium and cocaine use are decreasing. The year 2000 saw the highest rates of drug use according to the document.
Drug abuse ppt
The document discusses drugs, drug abuse, and addiction. It defines drugs as substances that alter normal bodily functions when absorbed into the body.

The document also shares the story of a teenager named Alby who abused drugs from ages 13 to 18 but was able to get treatment and now feels better about himself. It discusses surveys and activities conducted by students on these topics, including visiting a rehabilitation center.
Drugs power point
This document discusses drugs and their effects. It defines a drug as any chemical that affects the body's functioning. It notes that heroin, alcohol, ecstasy, caffeine and nicotine are all forms of drugs. Drugs must pass through the body and into the brain to change brain cell functioning by interfering with neurotransmitters. Drugs can make people less aware and alert, and can relieve pain, but can also cause sleepiness, convulsions, comas and even death. Hard drugs are physically addictive and easy to overdose on, while soft drugs are not physically addictive. Illegal drugs are classified as Class A, B or C depending on their penalties for possession and dealing. The document provides signs that someone
Drug Awareness Presentation

It then discusses different types of drugs like depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens, providing examples of each and their effects. The document also addresses why people use drugs, signs of drug use, and what can be done to help someone with a drug problem.
Drug addiction and drug abuse
- Drug addiction and abuse refers to the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for non-medical purposes. This includes both licit and illicit drugs.
- Addiction is compulsive drug use despite harm, while substance abuse refers to frequently using drugs like alcohol and inhalants that can be addictive.
- Dependence involves psychological need for a drug and physical tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Addiction affects the reward pathway in the brain.
- Drug abuse has negative effects on individuals, families, and society through health issues, crime, and lost productivity.
