Alcohol/Drug Recovery Programs in Naples Florida

The 12-step program from Alcoholics Anonymous is used to develop successful recovery programs. The following principles are used:

Abstinence from all substances
Acknowledging there is no self-control over addiction
Acknowledging addiction is compulsive behavior
Surrendering to a higher power for restoration to a healthy life
Listing past transgressions with a sponsor's help
Making amends for those transgressions
Learning to live sober through positive and constructive behaviors
Committing to help other addicts

Note all these basic tenets focus on the behavior aspect. The most effective recovery programs focus on behavioral modification. These recovery programs pinpoint:

Acknowledge the negative behaviors.
Modify the negative behaviors.
Minimize the significance of emotional and environmental causes of addiction.

Models of Behavioral Treatment in Recovery Programs

There are three highly effective behavioral therapies used in addiction treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on behaviorism and thinking. Plans to eliminate negative behaviors and thinking are implemented. Rational thinking isn't a factor, it is considered unreliable as it has been flawed in the past. External stimuli plays an important role in behavior and can override rational thinking. Specific actions to address problems are developed. Positive and negative reinforcement are used to encourage expected behavior.
The Motivational Interviewing (MI) Process: MI attempts to motivate an individual to modify behaviors. It works on resolving ambivalent feelings into healthy behaviors and if ambivalent feelings aren't resolved, they can lead to relapse. MI counselors directly influence individuals to make specific changes to address issues in a collaborative setting. The reasons why destructive behaviors occurred is not a focus of MI.
The Motivational Incentives Process: MIP first identifies behaviors needing modification. Then, levels of incentives are planned. Goals are set for incentives to be given. Incentives are given to the individual when appropriate behavior is displayed and taken away when negative behaviors are displayed.

Examples of Substance Abuse Treatment Therapy

Biofeedback is a scientific process using machines to measure tension and stress responses. The instruments report immediate feedback about these responses and individuals practice awareness to control these levels. The goal is to be able to manage these responses to a healthy level.

Restorative Yoga is a form of yoga to learn relaxation techniques and improving physical health. Yoga develops balance, tones muscles and improves overall health, both mental and physical.
