KHK's "Service Plan"
« on: April 21, 2005, 09:10:00 AM »
KHK's
 "SERVICE PLAN:
 At Kids Helping Kids, we believe the most accurate and functional
 definition of chemical dependency describes alcohol and drug
 dependency as a disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental
 factors influencing its development and manifestations. We further
 believe that, with adolescents, chemical abuse is characterized by
 developmental arrest or deterioration which may be viewed in stages
 with characteristic physical, psychological, and social symptoms."
 
 
 "As a result of chemical abuse, the adolescent may experience
 inadequacies of personality, impairment of cognitive functioning,
 diminished motivation, interpersonal and social conflicts, emotional
 blocking and regression, and casual disregard for behavioral
 consequences."
 
 
 "Ultimately, the individual must take responsibility for his/her own
 recovery and future drug-free life style."
 
  
 "In addition to individual goals, on first phase, clients begin to
 learn the basic disease process and develop knowledge of how drugs
 have affected their lives, begin the rehabilitation process by
 complying with the program rules and responsibilities and develop
 basic communication skills. Before the clients go on to Phase II,
 they are expected to know how to apply the basics, to have
 experienced catharsis of negative feelings, to feel better and have
 a "shine," to have developed an awareness of the relationship between
 their bad feelings and their drug use, and have developed a
 commitment to stay straight. Phase I is highly structured. Client
 move through Phase I on their own schedule but it typically takes 70
 to 90 days. This structure over time in a drug free environment is
 critical for clients to develop a commitment to recovery."

More from the KHK "service plan"...
 
 "First Phasers are reinforced for progress made during the week by contact
 with their parents. If they are working towards acheiving their goals, clients
 are granted permission to talk to their parents after Open Meeting. The eighth
 and ninth of the twelve steps of AA are; (8). Made a list of all persons we
 had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all, (9). Made direct
 amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or
 others. During talk after Open Meeting, clients begin the amends process."
 
 "When criteria have been met, clients move to Phase II and are called
 "Oldcomers." At this point, they move back home and begin restoring thier family
 relationships. They also reinforce what they have learned by teaching another
 client, their newcomer. Besides continuing to identify and work on individual
 goals, second phasers demonstrate increased use of and reliance on the basics,
 continue to develop insight into how drugs have affected their lives, progress in
 the rehabilitative process, improve communication skills, give and receive
 care with family members, serve as model for newcomers and address individual
 family issues in individual family therapy. Second Phasers are not only
 responsible for themselves but for taking care of their newcomers. If they behave
 irresponsibly, they are held accountable. This holds true throughout the remainder
 of the program. Clients address individual problems in group and individual
 therapy. They also meet educational goals by working with the teacher five
 hours/week."
 
 "On fourth phase clients regain privileges such as music, television, and
 telephone, and get days off from the program. They continue to increase
 self-awareness and add the focus of developing productive peer relationships and using
 their leisure time wisely. Fourth phasers are expected to show signs that they
 are internalizing the program and are able to consistently use their new
 skills. During the Friday Night educational groups, parents and clients begin
 planning for aftercare by meeting with other 4th phase parents and clients to
 discuss high risk situations and relapse planning."

"Progress tends not to be linear, but erratic. At any time during treatment,
 if clients are found to be slipping back into old, unproductive ways of
 coping, they may be placed back on a lower phase to give them a better opportunity
 to readdress earlier issues."
