Student paper down below:

My client has continued to struggle with completing the 12-step program that has been recommended as a course of treatment in his path to recovery. To better serve the needs of my client and to regain sobriety, I must reevaluate his current treatment options in order to devise different treatment modalities that will enable my client to remain successful as he reenters treatment. The joining of two distinctive treatment options will better engage the client therefore promoting success for him. The first type of treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is considered a biological form of treatment that helps the client combat negative thought processes which could cause relapse. CBT encourages a client to recognize their “cognitive distortion” (Colorado Technical University, 2018) giving way to corrective actions that can assist with their behavior modification efforts while in treatment and recovery. The second type of intervention program is called “F-R-A-M-E-S” (Colorado Technical University, 2018) which is an acronym for the following:

• Feedback
• Responsibility
• Advice
• Menu of other options
• Empathy
• Self-efficacy

(Colorado Technical University, 2018)

Merging two different types of intervention and therapy options could have a positive and lasting effect that will allow for tangible results that the client can appreciate, encouraging him to continue working towards sobriety. This modality provides a more goal orientated approach for the client while elevating the client to work towards his common goal of sobriety, thus having real and therapeutic input as he works towards his new goals.

The goal of the treatment is empowerment for the client and being able to contribute his ideas about treatment by giving him a sense of control over his own destiny within treatment. This not only promotes the combination of CBT and F-R-A-M-E-S moreover it promotes and solidifies the notion that his thought processes and actions matter. This collaboration unites the abuser’s need to understand the motives behind the abuse while helping him understand how he could be blaming others for the continued abuse instead of taking responsibility for his actions. Encouragement and client input can have a lasting affect on how the client responds to treatment because this approach gives value and weight to the client’s ideas, emotions, and thoughts throughout the entire process of recovery and sobriety.
