Triggers commonly cause clients to relapse and it is important for the development of self-advocacy. This advocacy can be developed by the transformation of thought through rigorous evaluation and understanding of thinking errors and cognitive distortions. CBT works towards skill building with a variety of tools and is effective because of its ability to adjust to meet the client’s needs while documenting progress. The program’s success comes from the implementation of CBT and a combination of other approaches. In alcohol and drug counseling, a client-centered approach has proven to be one of best practice.
Triggers, warning signs, and crisis planning are the components of the process, and require interdisciplinary work from the patient, nurse, doctor, counselor and other support staff. As with every human being, stress is a normal part of life. How we cope with those stressors is the difference between mental illness and mental wellness. With patients with substance-abuse issues, their coping mechanism is their substance of choice. So it is important to identify those stressors early on, identify early warning signs, look for inevitable situations where the patient feels like everything is falling apart, and most of all, prevent them from using.

For this assignment I took the opportunity to observe my interesting family. Most years the weeks spent at my grandparents house just Southeast of Wadena consist of yelling, laughing, made up stories, and lots and lots of eating. The days at grandmas usually go something like this we wake up at a dreadful five A.M., where we make the treck to the kitchen to find most of the adults at the table eating, after that we gear up and head to the stand. A few hours pass and we head back into the warm house. This is normally where the day gets interesting, six hours of confined space with relatives will put anyone on edge.
