Group Therapy

Our treatment program for opioid addiction has an emphasis on educating our client on self-awareness so that they can identify the source of their pain. By knowing what triggers their pain, clients can apply their knowledge on alternative treatments that can help them manage their condition.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (PRWEB)
February 12, 2020

Asana Recovery has published an online page documenting alternatives and advantages to managing pain using non-opioid strategies entitled, “Why You Should Consider Alternatives to Opioids.” The facts of the opioid crisis are startling. For example, according to a 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 10.3 million people misused prescription opioids in 2018. Additionally, more than 130 people died everyday from opioid-related drug overdoses. The effects of the epidemic are undeniable and have brought to light how opioids were prescribed openly as a way to manage pain.

As a residential addiction treatment program, Asana Recovery has had its share of clients who have entered their program because of an addiction to opioids. More than 30 percent of their residents have entered the program because of an addiction related to opioid misuse. Often, their clients’ dependency can be traced from a prescription to treat an ongoing medical condition or to manage pain.

“We had a client come in last year who was initially prescribed a hydrocodone/acetaminophen medication to treat an injury she sustained,” shares Tania Maalouy, LVN. “Her condition was complicated by what was later determined to be a mood disorder, which intensified her struggle to cope with the pain. As her condition worsened, she was using and abusing the opioid medication to cope with physical and mental pain.”

The opioid addiction treatment program at Asana Recovery includes a full medical work-up of the client when they first enter the center. This assessment informs the treatment plan for each client. “It is important to have a complete picture of a client’s medical and mental health because there is often a link between the two. It is common for an individual to have a substance addiction because of an ongoing medical issue,” says Grant Clark, LCSW. “This also allows us to form a treatment plan that is best for the individual’s needs.”

In the document, “Why You Should Consider Alternatives to Opioids,” it cites examples of both physical, non-opioid pain management as well as mental, non-opioid pain management. Alternatives to manage mental pain with non-opioid strategies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapy approach where a person learns how to recognize emotions, thoughts, and behaviors and adjust their perspective on them. CBT has recently been named by popular celebrities to have helped them in their recovery.

To manage physical pain, the article names acupuncture, exercise, nerve blocks, non-opioid medications, physical therapy, radiofrequency ablasion, spinal cord stimulation, therapeutic massage, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Therapy (TENS), and yoga as alternatives to opioid pain management.

“Our treatment program for opioid addiction has an emphasis on educating our client on self-awareness so that they can identify the source of their pain,” says Adam Shandrow, COO. “By knowing what triggers their pain, clients can apply their knowledge on alternative treatments that can help them manage their condition.”

Since opening in 2017, Southern California based Asana Recovery has offered unique and innovative ways to treat the disease of addiction. Harnessing the efficacy of traditional, evidenced-based methods, while incorporating alternative techniques, Asana Recovery offers services for the full spectrum and phases of addiction recovery. While in treatment, clients experience a life-skills approach that immerses the individual in a community or family setting to ensure that the transition back to sober living is a smooth and seamless process. It provides 24/7 supervised support with round-the-clock staff onsite, which is critical for the detox phase.

Adaugo F. Emerson, 17, of Baltimore, is a recipient of the James H. Parke Memorial Fund Summer Youth Scholarship Award for 2020

“We are proud of Adaugo and Ericka, who have demonstrated outstanding commitment in their roles as volunteers at the Loch Raven and Perry Point VA Medical Centers, respectively,” said Susan Kern, program manager for Voluntary Service for the VA Maryland Health Care System.

BALTIMORE, Md. (PRWEB)
February 12, 2020

Two youth volunteers at the VA Maryland Health Care System—Adaugo F. Emerson, 17, of Baltimore and Ericka O’Brien, 16, of North East, Md.—are recipients of the James H. Parke Memorial Fund Summer Youth Scholarship Award for 2020. Each of the youth volunteers will receive $500 to use toward tuition, books, supplies, room and board or other educational needs.

“We are proud of Adaugo and Ericka, who have demonstrated outstanding commitment in their roles as volunteers at the Loch Raven and Perry Point VA Medical Centers, respectively,” said Susan Kern, program manager for Voluntary Service for the VA Maryland Health Care System. “We hope that their achievements will inspire others to participate in our robust summer youth volunteer program.”

Adaugo, a senior at Eastern Technical High School during her volunteer stint, fostered meaningful relationships with both veterans and staff members at the Loch Raven VA Medical Center. As a volunteer, she demonstrated patience, a determination to excel and a positive attitude that enabled her to adapt to any situation. Adaugo’s daily check-in with veteran patients help to uplift their spirits and her natural leadership skills set an example for other youth volunteers.

“Adaugo believed that volunteering afforded her a unique opportunity to positively influence the lives of veterans,” said Rachel A.C. Kalfoglou, a voluntary service specialist at the Loch Raven VA Medical Center who nominated her for the award. “Veteran patients would become visibly happier in her presence.”

Ericka, a junior at Rising Sun High School during her voluntary service, proved invaluable in transporting veteran patients to and from their Occupational Therapy sessions at the Perry Point VA Medical Center. As a summer youth speech pathology volunteer, Ericka independently created a memory book for the speech pathologists at Perry Point, which served as a guide in working with individual patients. The memory book contained patient preferences, treatment plans and progress updates, and this was just one of the many initiatives she worked on to help both veteran patients and staff members.

“Ericka took the lead in programming the augmentative communication system that speech pathologists use in working with non-verbal patients,” said Joyce Kuwae, a voluntary service specialist at the Perry Point VA Medical Center who nominated her for the award. “The system is challenging, but Ericka quickly figured it out and was able to program the pictures and symbols into the system so that it could be used immediately.”

Established in 1976 after the first Director of Voluntary Service for the Department of Veterans Affairs and the founding father of the Department of Veterans Affairs Voluntary Service National Advisory Committee, the James H. Park Memorial Fund Summer Youth Scholarship Award seeks to recognize outstanding students who serve as part of VA’s Summer Youth Volunteer Program. Each VA medical center throughout the country may nominate one student volunteer for the award, as long as they have completed 100 hours of service as a VA volunteer during the calendar year.

# # #

The VA Maryland Health Care System (VAMHCS) provides a broad spectrum of medical, surgical, rehabilitative, mental health and outpatient care to veterans at three medical centers and five outpatient clinics located throughout the state.
