SELF HELP/MUTUAL HELP PROGRAM PROCESSES At the Addiction Awareness LLC Program, we value the self-help and mutual-help process. You will recover only if you want to. You must be involved in your recovery. We don't believe in forcing you to recover. It is your responsibility and will happen only if you truly want it to. We also believe that you can't do it alone. You've probably tried to do it alone before... and it hasn't happened. You need others to help you. Our program is about helping you to help yourself, and about you helping others to help themselves. We are not bad people trying to be good, we are sick people trying to get well!! Member Roles In every society there is a need for the members to learn responsibility and the ability to cooperate effectively with his/her fellow members. In our program we have established a structure of responsibility for all members. The program really belongs to the participants. It requires that all members work together to accomplish its tasks. Our program is set up like a large family, with all staff and members having some responsibility for the program. Participants of the program are required to contribute to the overall program by taking on "helping" roles in our groups. The purpose of our structure is to provide everyone with an opportunity to contribute to the program and to begin to learn better skills for coping with the confusion and problems that are created by them when they, (some for the first time), try to deal with life without the use of mood altering drugs. The roles which members can assume are posted in the facility. Member Accountability The only way a program like the Addiction Awareness LLC Program can work is if people help each other. All members are in the program for a shared purpose--- changing to become a recovering and successful member of our society. This will happen only if each person is committed to making those changes and is willing to help themselves and others who share the same problem. Part of helping each other is what we call "holding people accountable". Holding people accountable includes being aware of one's own recovery issues, as well as assisting others in gaining awareness of their attitudes and behaviors... showing responsible concern for self and others. This is accomplished, in part, by bringing each other's attention to non-recovery attitudes and behaviors. This means that you don't let people do or say the negative things without doing something about it. This works both ways. If you do something negative, someone is going to hold you accountable. If ADDICTION AWARENESS LLC PROGRAM 7
you see someone else do something negative, you are expected to hold them accountable. There are two ways to hold each other accountable and on-track with recovery. Here is the first way: If you see someone doing something which is irresponsible or inconsiderate, we want you to remind them of our belief system: Just give them a "haircut". A haircut is no more than saying, "Hey, you're not supposed to do that and here's why". For simple infractions such as, slouching in group, being inattentive during groups, or failing to pickup litter on the floor, members should be given a verbal reminder or "haircut". The second way to hold someone accountable is to write a "pull-up" report. Pull up reports should be written when you think that a member's attitudes or behaviors are going to cause him/her to relapse or because his/her actions are affecting the recovery of other program members. These reports should be taken to the group representative who will announce them during the weekly encounter group. The report serves as a way of raising the awareness of the group about problems its members are having. This will provide the group with an opportunity to help members who are having problems. We know what you are thinking about that. You are thinking, "I'm not going to snitch on other people." That thinking might have helped you when you were using, but it won't help you if you want to become drug-free. Leaving out part of the truth or looking the other way doesn't get it. It means you are letting others fool themselves into thinking that they are working a program. Letting others get by with self-destructive behavior will most certainly cause them to fail when they are on their own and away from our program. You are also fooling yourself into thinking that you don't have to care about anyone but yourself. If you are truly dedicated to making it in treatment and recovering, you must be concerned about others. Members who are having problems will be provided assignments during the encounter group to help them gain insight into their difficulties and to begin to see another way of handling things. Learning experiences may include writing an apology, an apology to the group, writing an essay, reading therapeutic material, giving an oral report to the group, etc. These experiences help members to work on those areas which are contributing to alcohol/drug use and a destructive life pattern. Member Recognition A part of our program structure involves recognizing the daily achievements of the program members. Just as we need to work together to confront negative behavior, we must also work together to point out all the good things that our members are doing. We do this through push-ups. Push ups call attention to the hard work of our members and the positive attitudes, and help that others can see. Push ups are given throughout ADDICTION AWARENESS LLC PROGRAM 8
