Josue Guadarrama, MA Presentation at 2016 Science of HOPE
Description
Developed within a coherent theoretical and philosophical framework, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique, empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with value driven commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. ACT uses three broad categories of techniques: mindfulness, including being present in the moment and defusion techniques; acceptance; and commitment to values-based living. Participants in this seminar will learn mindfulness as a way of observing ones experience, in the present moment, without judgment and “defuse,” or distancing oneself from unhelpful thoughts, reactions and sensations. Aside from a didactic approach, there will be video examples, and skill practice. Audience participation is highly encouraged.

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).

It’s a Disease!
A long-term illness caused by
measurable physical damage to the
brain
Nice graphic of a damaged brain
Suggests that it takes 6-10 months
of sobriety before significant brain
repair
Talk therapy helps correct problems
caused in the prefrontal cortex
(planning, reasoning, regulating
drives)
6. 6
It’s a Disease!
Need medication to correct
problems in the limbic system
(emotional drive, and memory
pathways and urges/cravings)
The new anti-addiction medicines
are designed to rebalance the
brain’s biochemistry
Use of these medicines enhance
ability to focus on and benefit from
therapy and 12-step programs
7. 7
Changing Thoughts from Pro-Addiction
to Pro-Recovery
The addicted brain is full of distorted and
irrational thoughts
Harmful thoughts trigger negative
emotions which trigger pro-addiction
behaviors
List of pro-addiction thoughts (e.g., “I
can’t get through this without a drink.”)
Worksheets to assess one’s pro-addiction
thoughts and substitute healthy thoughts
8. 8
Changing Thoughts from Pro-Addiction
to Pro-Recovery
The six-question test of thought accuracy:
1. What concrete factual evidence supports
this thought?
2. Are there other ways I could view this
situation?
3. What is the worst thing that could
happen?
4. What is the best thing that could
happen?
5. What is most likely to happen?
6. Is this thought inaccurate?
9. 9
Combating Triggers and Cravings
The trick is learning to identify and
deactivate triggers and to have a
plan in place to handle cravings
A nice quiz to see how much one
knows about cravings
Cravings are hardwired to the brain.
When exposed to a trigger,
memory and dopamine circuits are
activated leading to a craving.
10. 10
Combating Triggers and Cravings
A worksheet to identify personalized
triggers (i.e., people, places, times
of day, activities)
A worksheet called a “Daily Trigger
Chart” of situations,
thoughts/feelings, behavior,
pos/neg consequences
11. 11
Combating Triggers and Cravings
Strategies for handling triggers
Good suggestions for avoiding
triggers;
extinguishing triggers by not
using; and crushing cravings by
talking, distracting self, using flash
cards, stress management
techniques, and visualizing
12. 12
Addictions Medicines
Vivitrol and Campral encourages
the addict to cut back on alcohol
intake
Campral helps accelerate repairs to
brain systems
13. 13
Addictions Medicines
Vivitrol
The active ingredient is naltrexone
Naltrexone is an opiate antagonist
used to treat both alcohol and
opiate dependence
Works by “plugging in” to opioid
receptors in brain cells thus
preventing alcohol and opiate
molecules from getting in.
It “jams the lock”.
14. 14
Addictions Medicines
Vivitrol
Alcohol molecules cannot activate
pleasure pathways and cannot
trigger a high
Weakness of naltrexone is that it
must be taken daily
Vivitrol is a monthly injection
eliminating non-compliance
15. 15
Addictions Medicines
Vivitrol’s Benefits
1. Decreases cravings for alcohol
(and opiates) by up to 90%
compared to those without the
medication
2. If pt. does use, it blocks the high
you normally get
3. It prevents the first drink from
becoming many
16. 16
Addictions Medicines
Vivitrol Side Effects
Safe, well-tolerated, and non-
addicting
Occasional headache, feeling of
sedation, or tenderness at site of
injection
Normal dose is 380 mg (daily dose
of naltrexone is 50 mg), 70% less
than dosage of monthly pills
