Description:
Recovery in both substance use disorders and mental illness is
not always a smooth path. Psychiatrists and other mental health clinicians can often view recovery and relapse for psychiatric disorders differently from substance use disorders. This presentation discusses what we really mean by recovery in substance use and mental health treatment. It invites participants to examine their attitudes about recovery and relapse, and the language and jargon we use in treatment. In addition, the presentation looks at what “relapse” means in substance use and mental health and how to assess and treat flare-ups of patients’ substance use and/or mental health. It discusses the discrepancy between what clinicians often say about recovery and relapse and what they actually do in treatment.
Objectives:
- Identify definitions, attitudes, and dilemmas in recovery and relapse in co-occurring disorders.
- Discuss the discrepancy between concepts about recovery, relapse, and actual clinical practice.
- Apply ways to improve consistency in dealing with recovery and relapse in co-occurring disorders treatment.
