  6. Medical / Minnesota Model • Treats as a (chronic) disease • Focus on the pharmacological effects of substances on the body.  • Has three phases: Evaluation, Primary Treatment and Aftercare. • Practitioner prepares a treatment plan for the patient.

  7. Clinical / Gorski CENAPS Model • Structured process for recognition of self-defeating behavioral /thought patterns and “psychosocial restructuring” for sobriety. (Cognitive behavioral therapy.) • Group therapy requiring a licensed practitioner. • Development of coping skills. • Identification of the "triggers" for substance use and how to deal with them.

  8. Social / California Model • Uses “peers” (others in long-term recovery) to provide referral services, motivational coaching, shared personal experience and supportive fellowship. • Some facilities have comprehensive training programs for peer volunteers. • Peers do not have licenses as counselors or therapists and are mostly voluntary. • Emphasizes empowerment, self-help and lifestyle change.

  9. Holistic /biopsychosocial Model • Restoration of balance in multi-dimensional areas: Social /cultural; medical /physical; mental /emotional; educational /occupational; spiritual /religious; legal /financial; and abstinence /relapse. • Holistic Harm Reduction Program (HHRP) formal group program to reduce harm, promote health, and improve quality of life. Provides knowledge, motivation, and skills to make choices that reduce harm to themselves and others. (Used with HIV /AIDS population.)
