CRAFT: Breaking Free from your Loved One’s Addiction
Event on 2015-01-01 17:30:00
If you have a loved one with an addiction you’ve probably tried everything you can think of to get him/her to stop: nagging, threatening, ultimatums, bargaining, attending support groups, etc. You may feel like there is nothing that you can do to get them to stop.
Don’t give up, there is hope.
An approach called CRAFT has been shown in well-designed research studies to get approximately 7 out of 10 loved ones into treatment. Additionally, CRAFT has been shown to improve the well-being of family members. This highly effective approach does not rely on confrontation or detachment. Instead, you will learn about specific actions you can take to free yourself from their cycle of addiction.
We have developed a CRAFT group that will teach you the skills of CRAFT in a collaborative and supportive environment. In six sessions, you and fellow group members (all of who have loved ones with addictions) will learn skills to help your loved one move closer toward sobriety. The next group will start when we have enough people on the waitlist to form a group. All group meetings will be held at Portland Psychotherapy in N/NE Portland. As part of the group you will learn the following:
1. A way of understanding the triggers and the positive and negative consequences of your loved one’s use of substances.
2. How to more effectively communicate with your loved one, particularly about your concerns about your loved one’s use.
3. How to support and encourage your loved one to engage in activities that promote sobriety.
4. How to set limits that you can live with and how to maintain these limits.
5. How to effectively suggest addiction treatment options.
The cost of the 6-week series is 0.00. Depending on your insurance plan, insurance may be able to compensate for a portion of the cost. Payment options and plans are also available. Sliding scale options may also be available for those who can't afford the normal fee. If you are interested in learning more about the group or about CRAFT, please contact us by using our online form or by calling: 503-610-3393.
Date/Time:
The group will start when enough people have expressed interest in the group to run another round.
