Title: Non-Abstinence AUD Treatment: A Clinical Review of Successful Alcohol Moderation
Biography:
Adi Jaffe received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2010. Even before he graduated his name had become known through his online and academic writing. His views on addiction research on the topic have been published in dozens of journals and online publications and he has appeared on several television shows and documentaries discussing current topics in addiction and the problem of addiction as a whole. Most recently Dr. Jaffe had the privilege to speak at a TEDx event hosted by UCLA. His view is a holistic one, drawing from the best and most recent research to bring as complete a solution to addiction clients.
Abstract:
The current trend towards the individualization of mental-, and physical-health, conditions affords clinicians the ability to identify characteristics that may modify a patient’s treatment. This view is supported by the recent release of the DSM-5 and its use of severity rankings for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) diagnosis. This case study focuses on a 29yo male patient with AUD who engaged in five months of outpatient treatment with the reintroduction of alcohol occurring on the sixth month. Data were obtained over the course of 14 months utilizing a range of instruments including mobile breathalyzers, tailored daily mobile questionnaires, and monthly psychological assessments. The patient maintained abstinence from alcohol throughout the initial five-month period, registering no higher than a 0.007 BrAC and testing negative through urinary analysis for both Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) and Ethyl Sulfate (EtS), and experienced significant improvement in affect and alcohol dependency measure. Our case study showcases that with appropriate screening, clinical supervision and adherence to treatment procedures, moderate alcohol consumption can be a successful end-goal for the treatment of AUD. The inclusion of moderation treatment goals in AUD treatment may encourage individuals who have been previously resistant to treatment entry to begin engaging with clinicians and seek help.

Title: Structure and Family Type in Patients With Substance Abuse or Dependence Psychoactive Rehabilitation
Biography:
The findings confirmed what has been mentioned by various authors regar- ding the characteristics of the family typology structure and personal factors in patients with addictions, in addition to their need for affection combined with the desire for the mother’s presence. The family typology does not determine for itself the abuse of psy-choactive substances, but the influence of other factors such as family structure, especially deficient affective interactions, which should be considered in the development of thera- peutic strategies.
Abstract:
To determine the family type, family structure in a group of patients with a dia-gnosis of substance abuse or dependence who were at a rehabilitation center for addiction during the period between August and October 2009. Methods: Through a descriptive qualitative-interpretative methodology 10 patients who met inclusion criteria for substance dependence or abuse were studied. The fieldwork and transcripts were made for three months by non-participant observation, non-structured interviews and examination of patients’ clinical history. Results: Seven of the families interviewed were single-parent families with an unconventio- nal organization on “gender roles”. Single-parent families favored loneliness, difficulty in rule-setting, de-idealization of the place of the father in the family structure and a constant search for complicity. In the analysis by categories, we found that in 10 families in the study of individuals with addictions it is common to find family structure characteristics such as inadequate communication, lack of authority rules and limits, presence of triangulations, the lack of cohesion due to the existence of a disconnected relationship pattern and chan- ged roles compared to conventional gender. The search for the affection of the mother at her emotional overload absence of roles and lack of father, raised by the separation of the couple, was found as an essential aspect underlying the addictive behavior. A pattern of parental abandonment is configured.

Biography:

The book will help readers begin to learn important skills and tools that are key to “The Next Big Step,” enabling their positive growth and life “Beyond Recovery!”
Abstract:
What happens once the Twelve Step programs (and other recovery programs) no longer serve the expanding mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of recovering addicts/alcoholics to live their most purposeful life? What then? The Next Big Step is for those that have been in active recovery programs for a minimum of one year, recognizing too, that many are not ready for several years. This presentation acknowledges the importance of the Twelve Step programs in helping individuals find sobriety-and for many, to stay clean and sober. The focus of The Next Big Step is on what’s possible beyond Twelve Step recovery and meetings, when the programs no longer offer the deep personal and profound, purposeful growth that an individual is ready for. It does not replace solid recovery programs, but instead, would be considered an adjunct. The Next Big Step is based upon the principles of The Purpose Plan, Kelley’s breakthrough program that guides participants into recognizing the Overarching Purpose and Themes of Purpose of their entire lives, and supports them living a greater life—the life they were born to live. This program helps people discover the “message in their mess”—and how to create a great, thriving life with what they learn. It is meant to facilitate recovering alcoholics and addicts gain insight and clarity, and move forward into a new life of empowered purpose, peace and prosperity. The Purpose Plan program offers significant support to those who may believe they have ruined their lives or lost opportunities for success because of their past. It serves to help a recovering addict/alcoholic excavate their innate greatness, and to convert long held “pain into purpose, mis-takes into re-takes, loss into legacy and mediocre into magnificent.” The science of epigenetics and the power of science supported nutrition are also important key factors in this holistic mind/body/spirit program.
