Use the CRAFT skills to understand when danger is acute, and enough to warrant sectioning.
How do you know when it's time to consider sectioning a loved one into addiction treatment? This episode of 'Coming Up for Air' tackles this tough question head-on. Hosts Dominique Simone-Lavigne, Laurie McDougall, and Kayla Solomon explore the delicate balance between intervention and respecting your loved one's autonomy. They dive into the CRAFT method, a compassionate approach that focuses on understanding and support, but sometimes the situation calls for more drastic measures.
The episode sheds light on the circumstances where sectioning might be the only viable option. It's a heavy topic, but the hosts handle it with empathy and practical advice. They discuss how to recognize acute danger signs that may necessitate sectioning, while also stressing the importance of maintaining a positive relationship with your loved one.

One of the key takeaways is that sectioning should be a last resort. The hosts emphasize exploring all other avenues first, using CRAFT skills to manage crises and support recovery. They also touch on the legal aspects, like conservatorship, that can come into play when making such a significant decision. If you're grappling with the complexities of addiction in your family, this episode offers valuable insights and guidance.
It’s not just about making the hard choices; it’s about doing so with compassion and care. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of when and how to consider sectioning, and learn how to navigate this challenging aspect of addiction treatment with dignity and respect.
