From the videos by Lyles and the textbook readings from Inaba and Cohen, we learned about treatments such as Methadone and Antabuse, also known as medication-assisted treatments (MATs). We also learned about the return of addiction disease as a “multidimensional response pattern” from Reske and Paulus.
Thread: From the readings and videos, respond to the following:
· How might a multidimensional response pattern influence and individual’s relapse when receiving MATs?
· As counselors, how can we educate clients about the biological aspects of their addiction when using MATs?
· What are other treatment options other than antagonist approaches?
