Addiction Prevention and Recovery: From Harm Reduction to Relapse Prevention
The purpose of this presentation is to provide an overview of four different models of addiction (the moral, disease, spiritual, and cognitive-behavioural approaches), each of which has different approaches to prevention and treatment. Intervention goals may include applying harm reduction approaches to work with clients who are unable or unwilling to make a commitment to abstinence. Two harm reduction programs will be described: BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students) and Housing First (non-abstinence based housing for homeless alcoholics). For abstinence-based programs, relapse prevention skills may help clients stay “on the wagon” or help them get back on track if they relapse.

Educational Objectives:
1. To provide an overview of different theoretical approaches to addiction prevention and treatment
2. To teach the basic principles of harm reduction and the controversy surrounding this approach;
3. To become familiar with relapse rates following treatment and to learn how to assess triggers and high-risk situations for relapse.
