Defining modern substance abuse counseling- an effective paradigm for substance abuse counseling- requires a fresh approach, a new mindset and, in fact, a new definition.
Ever wondered how substance abuse counseling has evolved over the years? In this episode of 'Jess’s SobrieTea', Jess dives into the latest edition of 'Substance Abuse Counseling' by Judith A. Lewis, Robert Q. Dana, and Gregory A. Blevins. She explores the shift from outdated practices to a more empathetic and individualized approach. Gone are the days when clients were seen as fundamentally different from others; now, the focus is on understanding each person's unique life situation and challenges.
Jess discusses the importance of building collaborative relationships between counselors and clients, recognizing that everyone stands somewhere on a continuum from non-problematic to severely problematic drug use. She also touches on effective methods for coping with stress, managing mental health issues, and boosting self-esteem and self-efficacy. The episode highlights the courage needed in ethical practice and the crucial role of advocacy in helping clients navigate their recovery journey.
Packed with practical advice and valuable insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in modern substance abuse counseling.
