American Society of Addiction Medicine Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social, and spiritual manifestations. This circuitry and resultant manifestations lead to the individual pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors. Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Bible Definition Exodus 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:4,5 You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Real Addiction Rom 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate 17So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Real Addiction 21I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 23but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin. Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Real Addiction Goes deeper than behavior or brain chemistry. Worship is: Perceiving God accurately and responding appropriately Addiction: Misplaced Worship, Worshipping the wrong thing Addiction: Promoting something other than Jesus to the center of your life/heart Solomon: all is vanity, under the sun Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Real Addiction Why Addiction: coping skill to help deal with life/stress – Circumstantial Use We all have behaviors to help us cope with life/stress that qualify as addictions that grow out of the idols in our heart Benzio Definition of Addiction: – Choosing or pursuing something other than God (or Him + the healthy solution He provides) in a habitual, patterned, or repetitive way to get a particular need/needs met – A Coping mechanism not focused on God Comfort Were ALL addicted to ……….. Comfort Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Real Addiction Addiction Role = Coping skill for stressor management Addiction Goal = COMFORT Addiction Object = the element we turn to thinking it delivers the comfort we desire – Usually a process rather than a concrete object Trading addictions Treatment: Needs to get at the root issues that cause discomfort Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

12 Steps of AA 1.We admitted we were powerless over alcoholthat our lives had become unmanageable. 2.Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3.Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God (as we understand Him) 4.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5.Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6.Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

12 Steps of AA 7.Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8.Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9.Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10.Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it. 11.Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God (as we understand Him) praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry it out. 12.Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Treatment Principles Karl Benzio, MD

Necessary Treatment Ingredients Medical aspects – Detox/Psych/Medical/Meds Psychological Depth Spiritual Depth – Application, not just memorization Time Supervision/Accountability Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Secular Treatment Goals: Life Management Strategies Living Basics Strategy: – Shelter, Food, Income, work/structure Treatment Logistics Strategy – Outpt Tx, ind, couples, fam, med mngmt – Meetings, Sponsor Physical – No subst, med regimen clear – Sleep, nutrition, exercise Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Secular Treatment Goals: Life Management Strategies Psychological Strategy – Relaxation – 12 Steps – Community – Behavior modification – No deeper equipping or reproducible strategy – Not Divinely empowered Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Christian Treatment Goals: Life Management Strategies Living Basics Strategy: – Shelter, Food, Income, work/structure Logistical Treatment Strategy – Outpt Tx, Ind, Couples, Fam, med mngmt – Christian Meetings, Sponsor, Church Physical – No subst, med regimen clear – Sleep, nutrition, exercise Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Christian Treatment Goals: Life Management Strategies Psychological Strategy – Get at core issues – not just sobriety – Practiced regularly, – Have it as muscle memory default system – Use the same strategy no matter the situation Dont have to sort through different tools or strategies – Slows life down – Every thought captive to obedience of Christ – Emotion management – Reflection and Self-Assessment Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Complicated Clinical Issue – most difficult patient Poor Research Minnesota Model simplistic but entrenched CAC, CADC MH vs D/A – problem with specialization Christian vs. spiritual/holistic vs. traditional Complicated Healthcare system – Insurance – UR, Level of Care (LOC) Programming Issues Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Consideration/Obstacles Complicated Clinical Issue – Most difficult patient – Excuses/Lying/Manipulation – Underlying Core issues pt really wants cover – Trauma – Brain damage, so cognitively challenged – Compromised resources Family Money/insurance Relationships Job/Legal Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Poor Research – Patients are hard to find and get followup info – Followup needs to be over significant time – Disorder is multivariate in etiology – Treatments have many subtleties that are hard to quantify Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Minnesota Model(Hazeldon) of alcoholism – Simplistic and outdated – Entrenched as the Gold Standard – Alcoholism is involuntary – Primary Disease – Not Curable, but arrestable – Tx – Spirit, psychological, social, medical – AA is essential component – Sometimes not approving of psychotropic medications for psychiatric issues Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles CAC, CADC – Front line treatment personnel – Often run groups – HS diploma or above – Equivalent of 5-6 college courses Often only 3-5 hour modules in superficial format not building depth of understanding – some supervised work in the field that is often unspecified and supervised by another CAC/CADC Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles MH vs D/A – Which is primary – Not many therapists well versed in an integrated and practical addiction/psychological paradigm – Patient has to coordinate the 2 different treatment areas - Problem with specialization – Some rehabs wont even accept psych meds – Trouble getting to the core issues underlying the addictive coping skill – Problem with CAC being the primary therapist as no classes in MH issues. Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Christian vs. spiritual/holistic vs. traditional – Traditional – usually medical with Minnesota Higher Power of AA No Divine power – Spiritual / Holistic – yoga, equine, reiki, Medical model with Minnesota 12 step model – Christian Work farm/Discipleship(10w – 14mos) No psych/medical Minimal psychological Bible memorization, limited application – Christian Medical – out of network usually Minimal psychological integration Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Complicated Healthcare System – Voluntary vs. Legal Commitment – Third party managers – Insurance – PPO, HMO, UR – Level of Care (LOC) – Addictions treatment nebulous – Outcomes often poor – Stigma Lack of full disclosure by patient Wait to long to access treatment – Lack of clinicians understanding of illness and system – Lack of lay person understanding of illness and system – Lack of SMB Integration from either side – medical or church Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Considerations/Obstacles Programming Issues – Heterogeneous Population – Admitted on different days – Patchwork program – pt has to integrate and organize – Not enough programming each day – Not enough Homework or practicing skills – Not enough experiential implementation – Skill set of staff limited – Not addressing core issues because of above limits Most is behavioral mod and not insight oriented – Minimal practical equipping Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

Holistic, Not Primary Disease, Approach Like an ED model WHY do you use – faulty coping skill Not 12 Step More psychological Getting at core issues Customized Less behavioral mod and more transformational in goal and communicated approach Lots of room for Christian integration Curable

Recovery Groups Many offshoots of AA – NA, CA, GA, Sexaholics A, Overeaters A Christian alternatives – Celebrate Recovery – Addictions Victorious – Overcomers in Christ – Reformers Unanimous – Christian Recovery Online Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network

What You Need To Know What you can do – outsourcing is OK and necessary Who your patient is What your patient needs The system - as best as possible Who to call to help you with options Who is going to be the quarterback of the complicated and long treatment process Copyright 2013 - Lighthouse Network
