Question by djvenney: Restoration house program for mothers with drug problems?
A community based residentioal treatment program for women with dependent children, shows that 70 percent of women who completed follow up interviews six months after treatment have maintained abstinence or reduced their drug use. The other 30 percent, however, lapse into their old habits.

The program relies on restorative justice techniques in which community people meet with the women to discuss the harm drug use can cause and how it can damage both them and their children.

Women who complete the restoration houseprogram inprove their employment, reduce parenting stress, retain custody of their children, and restore their physical, mental, and emotional health. The program focuses on reducing drug and alchohol usage, increasing health, safety, self sufficiency and positive attitudes.

 

How to Understand Medications used to treat Alcoholism with Dr Rodriquez and delraycenter.com – Now for relapse prevention for alcoholism there are some now that been used that works very well. The old school medications that most people think of when they hear about medication for treatment of alcoholism is antabuse that is the one if you drink it makes you very sick. Basically it blocks an enzyme in the metabolism of alcohol and if you drink alcohol a toxic metabolite will build up and make you very sick, often times will put you in the hospital can be dangerous so it’s not the best medication of choice to start with most people. Naltrexone and naltrexone base medication such as vivotrol are more commonly used and work very well and are a lot safer than antabuse. There is also campral which is used to reduce cravings, the more popular one now a days is vivotrol which is naltrexone in the form of a shot that last a month and it does work better than the pill naltrexone, it helps relapse prevention if somebody drinks they don’t really get sick but they don’t feel great and they tend not to get the pleasure they use to get from drinking so it helps discourage more drinking. Relapse rates are lower on these medications and they are fine choices for use on most patients. Raul J Rodriguez MD, a double Board Certified Psychiatrist and Addictionologist, discusses medications used to treat alcoholism. delraycenter.com
