Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery


Mar 20, 2019

“CRAFT”  is “…evidence based practice.” –Jessica Triplett

 

The path to recovery can be appalling if the path you chose ended up in dismay. No path is perfect. Therefore, it is necessary that families choose a path that keeps the harm to a minimum. Our guest will introduce a model that accomplishes just that. Meet Jessica Triplett, a trainer for the CRAFT model. She’s been in the addiction field for a decade, starting her career in Nebraska then to Colorado. She worked with child welfare, substance abuse case and family addiction case. But these experiences were more than just a job. They became her own path to turning this interest into an avenue for hopeful families.

 

“Addiction rules the roost” as Jeff says and it can push the whole family even further down. But this CRAFT model, developed by Dr. Robert J. Meyer can be a turn around where the whole family can rule over addiction. Just what CRAFT stands for, what goals it has that make it effective, what strategies can each family member use to defuse potential outbursts, how CRAFT works to get the addicted member into treatment, encourage him to stay and finish the treatment and how the remaining members can prime for the return of their loved one are discussed in today’s episode.

Join the discussion and learn how to avoid “falling into pattern interns that… are hard to get out of.”
