Courtney Grove Addictions/Assessments/Interventions Spring 2017 All of the personal stories in this book are an attempt to help individuals identify with the authors. Hopefully, after reading each story we, and alcoholics alike may say to themselves "I'm very much like _____. My alcohol use has followed a similar pattern and I have also tried different ways to control my drinking with similar, pained results. Perhaps the steps that _______ followed will work for me also.” This keeps the sneaky pull of alcohol at the forefront of their minds, learning from the experiences of others and remembering their own experiences from the reality standpoint rather than with fond remembrance.
and N.A. meetings I attended this book contains many quotes from the Twelve Step model and makes many references to God and a Higher Power which may encourage many readers to use faith to change the codependency. It seems that the Twelve Steps are very important not only for those with a drug addiction, but those who struggle with some sort of compulsive action that affects their everyday lives. The author aims to let the readers acknowledge if they may have a codependency issue by giving a list of signs of codependency and tries to walk the reader through such situations by giving examples of
With reference with anger management, according to Breslin (2005) a domestic dispute has previously been examined with an interest in reoffender as it pertains to programs such as anger management. During this investigation, persons that had been convicted of such crimes; domestic violence crimes; and sentenced based on these charges, are recognized as being persons who indicated and completed programs such as anger management, which still triggered offenders to relapse.

Anhedonia, the inability to experience pleasant feelings, can be induced by repetitive, compulsive, and prolonged drug use. As we know, the brain chemistry changes dramatically when exposed to long periods of drinking or drugging.
According to Drug Rehab: Cognitive Dissonance in Addiction Treatment Programs by an unknown author, “American studies showed that even though 99% of Americans believe that smoking is harmful 20% of them still smoke regularly” (3). Even though multiple studies have been made of how a substance can cause harm to the human body people tend to ignore those studies and continue to consume drugs. The author demonstrates how there is a large proportion of people who believe smoking is harmful yet they still smoke. This leads to questioning why people continue their addiction. In the article, they observed that alcoholics and addicts often construct mechanisms to protect themselves from the uncomfortable feeling.

The stages of change model regarding substance abuse by Prochaska, DiClemente & Norcross, (1982,1992) is an approach aimed at changing behaviours, resulting in complete abstinence from substances. However, an individual must accept they have an issue and be ready to change for this approach to have an effective impact, the low numbers of people completing treatment and the high numbers of people re-presenting to treatment services within 6 months, show that complete abstinence is not always a viable approach (National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS),
Medication Adherence Reflective Writing Shaymous Juhnke As a P1 student in SDSU’s pharmacy program one of the activities required to prepare us for real world pharmacy practice would be to take part in a medication adherence simulation. The goal of this activity is to put ourselves in the patients shoes to get an idea about how patients adhere to their regimens in the real world.
