2. Rediscovering AA: Recovery 1935; “The Enlightenment” (See Griffith Edwards On Lifeline’s FEAD) "The therapeutic value of one addict helping another” 75 years on: “more than 2 million members” Wikipedia “I cant but WE can”

3. Recovery does slowlywhat drink and drugs do fast... ...changes perception of reality. Learning how to fit in To live life on life’s terms Free from fear Free from addiction “Community as method” Recovery community a place where you learn how to live right, with other people...

4. A Therapeutic Community Perspective (George De Leon cont’d) “RIGHT LIVING” • Recovery beliefs and values for social learning, personal growth and healthy living include: • Truth and Honesty • Here and Now – “The Power of Now” (its all we’ll ever have) • Personal Responsibility for Destiny (be the revolution you want to see) • Social Responsibility ("Brother's/Sister's Keeper") • Moral Code Concerning Right and Wrong Behavior • Work ethic – “The Fairy Jobmother” - Recovery Guru? • Inner Person is "Good", but Behavior Can be "Bad" • Community as method teaches individuals to use the community to change themselves

5. What kind of “addict”, “alcoholic” are you? • Do you binge? • Are you a “real alcoholic/addict” as described in the AA Big Book? • Did the lights go on when you drank/used? • Do you see your problem as a thinking problem? • Does CBT/SMART provide enough ‘weight and depth’ • Does 12 step mutual aid (AA, NA, CA) provide too much ‘weight and depth’? • Do you understand what a “spiritual malady” is? • Are you familiar with George De Leon’s 10 stages? • Are you prepared to go to any lengths?

6. “I cant but WE can” Recovery Champions and Community as Method, (ref: George De Leon) • Active addiction is about ME, ME, ME - “Self will run riot” • A dark and lonely place; “poor me, poor me, pour me a drink” • Recovery is about a group, a community, of people coming together to find a common solution – sharing our “experience, strength and hope” • “We can do things together, we cannot do alone” • “Your recovery is my recovery” • Coming together to change lifestyles and identities • Treatment is an episode in the recovery process • If recovery was a journey from Manchester to London treatment is taxi to station

31. The Management Challenge • Employee satisfaction, patient experience, recovery outcomes. • Organisational ethos and culture more important for recovery outcome than any patient/client characteristic. • Organisational Readiness for Change (ORC): Staff must accept need for change and believe that the initiative will work. • Assertive linkage to communities of recovery: • “The addition of just one abstinent person to a social network increased the probability of abstinence for the next year by 27%” (p230) • 27% • Litt et al – “Changing network support for drinking” (2009)

32. Framingham Heart Study, Christakis and Fowler Surround yourself with Recovery • A person’s odds of becoming obese increased by 57% if they had a friend who became obese, with a lower risk rate for friends of friends, lower again at three degrees of separation • Smoking cessation by a spouse decreased a person’s chances of smoking by 67%, while smoking cessation by a friend decreased the chances by 36%. The average risk of smoking at one degree of separation (i.e., smoking by a friend) was 61% higher, 29% higher at two degrees of separation and 11% higher at three degrees of separation.

33. Creating Recovery Communities • Changing Social Networks • Organising Recovery Communities • “The addition of just one abstinent person to a social network increased the probability of abstinence for the next year by 27% • Litt et al – “Changing network support for drinking” (2009, (p230))

34. Rosenquist, Murabito, Fowler and Christakis (2010) – from the Framingham Heart Study • 12,067people with data collected every 2-4 years • Principals are 50% more likely to drink heavily if a person they are directly connected to drinks heavily; 36% more likely at two degrees of separation; 15% at three degrees of separation. • People are 29% more likely to abstain if someone they are directly connected to abstains. This effect is 21% at 2 degrees of separation; 5% at three degrees of separation

PHP 5 year Treatment and Recovery ProgramSkipper and Dupont (2010) • Find a motivation fulcrum (a good reason to change) • Provide comprehensive initial assessment and extended treatment • Provide care management for many years • Have a high expectation for abstinence-based recovery • Assertive links to recovery support groups (NA, AA, CA, SMART) • Sustain motivation and support and where necessary, re-intervene • Reintervene at a higher level of intensity at any sign of relapse • Integrate these elements where possible within a comprehensive programme

39. PHP outcomes • 64% completed the 5-year programme • 72% of participants were working in their chosen profession at the follow-up point • 79% of participants had no positive tests during follow-up
