Overview of Crisis Intervention

Behavioral and cognitive behavioral approaches are grounded in social learning theories and principles of operant conditioning
Emphasis is on
Functional analysis of behaviors to understand them within the context of their antecedents and consequences
Skills training through which people recognize the situations or states in which they are most vulnerable and how to avoid high-risk situations
Using a range of behavioral and cognitive strategies to cope effectively with those situations if they cannot be avoided
Cognitive behavior therapy is based on the idea that feelings and behaviors are caused by a person’s thoughts
People may not be able to change their circumstances but they can change how they think about them and therefore change how they feel and behave
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapies to teach the person to recognize situations with their most likely to use, avoid these circumstances if possible, and cope with other problems and behaviors which may be to use
Trauma Specific
Trauma Specific Models are an essential part of treatment as misidentified or misdiagnosed trauma related symptoms interfere with help seeking and hamper engagement in treatment, lead to early drop out, and make a relapse more likely
Trauma-Informed and Trauma specific approaches take into account knowledge about the trauma, its impact, interpersonal dynamics, and relation to recovery.
The primary goals of trauma specific services are focused to address directly the impact of trauma on people’s lives and to facilitate trauma recovery and healing
The Addictions and Trauma Recovery Integration Model or ATRIUM, seeking safety, and trauma recovery and empowerment model are all examples
Couples and family approaches
The defining feature couples and families treatments is that they’re treating substance using individuals in the context of the family and social systems in which the substance use may develop or be maintained
Prevailing models:
Brief strategic family therapy
Structural or strategic family therapy
Multidimensional family therapy
Multi systemic therapy
Behavioral and cognitive behavioral family therapy
Solution focused brief therapy
Family Engagement
Goals of family counseling include
Helping families become more aware of their own needs
Providing genuine and during healing for family members
Working to shift power to the parental figures in a family
To improve communication
Helping the family make interpersonal, intrapersonal, and environmental changes
Keeping substance abuse and mental health issues from moving from one generation to another.
