4. Addiction & Psychiatric
Assessment
Addiction and Psychiatric Assessment That Looks
at the Whole Person
Positive Sobriety Institute takes a comprehensive approach to assessment to
determine if there is an addiction, the degree of addiction and what co-occurring
physical or mental health disorders may be contributing.
Our experts include board-certified psychiatrists, physicians, nurse practitioners
and licensed professional counselors who look at the whole person.
From there, we develop an individualized treatment and recovery plan.
•Comprehensive Assessment
•In-Depth Psychiatric Evaluation
•Physical Exam
•Multidisciplinary, Comprehensive Fitness for Duty Evaluation
•Individualized Treatment Plan

5. Comprehensive
Assessment
•Complete medical and diagnostic history.
•In-depth psychiatric evaluation to diagnose dual disorders.
•Psychological and personality testing to offer individuals insights into their
behavior, interactions, emotional state and motivations.
•Physical exam with internal medicine physician.
•Development of comprehensive recovery plan.
In-Depth Psychiatric Evaluation
•Recent data reveals that 45 to 60% of those diagnosed with a substance use
disorder also have a co-occurring psychiatric illness. The goals of Positive
Sobriety Institute’s psychiatric evaluation includes: to establish whether a
mental disorder or other condition requiring the attention of a psychiatrist is
present

6. The treatment plan addresses every aspect of a patient’s mental, physical and
emotional health, as well as their social support structure, including:
•The type of substances used, the amount of substances used, and the
frequency of use.
•The individual’s genetic vulnerability for developing a substance use
disorder(s).
•The degree to which behavioral control is lost during intoxication.
•The severity of the disorder, the rate of disease onset, and the degree of
impairment.
•The known consequences germane to the patient’s use of intoxicants.
•The individual’s awareness, or lack thereof, regarding of the impact of
substance use on his or her life, and on those they care for.
•The individuals level of defensiveness and their alibi system.
Individualized Treatment Plan

7. Chicago Addiction Counceling
• Addiction counseling helps replace self-destructive behaviors with positive
thoughts, feelings and emotions so individuals can regain control and
develop healthy, productive lives.
Goals of Addiction Counseling
• The addiction counseling team at Positive Sobriety Institute works to
achieve the following goals:
• Increase the individual’s motivation for change. Teach how to break the
addictive cycle and establish abstinence.
• Teach the individual coping and problem solving skills required to maintain
sobriety over the long-term. Teach how to cope with cravings and how to
avoid triggers that can lead to relapse such as people, places and things.
• Involve family members in the addiction recovery plan.
• Encourage participation in recovery support groups. 12-Step groups such as
Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Cocaine Anonymous are
extremely valuable support systems for recovering individuals.

8. Group therapy is an important, though often misunderstood, component of
addiction treatment. Group therapy’s restorative effects emanate from the
powerful social bonds that form through shared experience. Group therapy is a
place to nurture healthy relationships,
Benefits of group therapy
•Learning that you’re not alone in your struggles. Others have similar issues
and problems.
•Seeing the growth and learning from others who are at different stages in
recovery.
•Having the freedom to express feelings and receive caring and objective
feedback from others.
•Taking responsibility for one’s choices and behavior, and demonstrating
respect, compassion and empathy for others.
•Having a safe place to take emotional risks by trusting others and showing
vulnerability.

9. Chicago Holistic Therapies
Complementary Holistic Therapies for the Mind,
Body and Spirit
Addiction can damage every aspect of a person’s life – their physical health,
mental health, relationships, and the way they perceive themselves and their
place in the world. Holistic therapy complements medication-assisted treatment
and more traditional addiction counseling to heal the mind, body and spirit. At
Positive Sobriety Institute, we believe holistic therapies are vital to healing. We
incorporate several into our drug and alcohol rehab programs.
•Spiritual Care
•Yoga and Meditation
•Binaural Beats

10. Spiritual Care
• It has been said that addiction is a “spiritual disease.” For many people,
addiction brings on a crisis of faith. For some, that may be experienced as a
shattering of their belief in a higher power or a loss of a connection to a
house of worship that once held deep meaning for them. Spirituality means
something different to each person, but it is enormously important to many
people. During the recovery process, we help individuals reconnect with
their spirituality and recover a sense of peace and purpose.
• In yoga, stretching, breathing and meditation relax the body and calm
the mind. Yoga helps people feel better physically, through moving and
stretching muscles and ligaments that perhaps haven’t been used in a
long time. But the practice of yoga in addiction treatment isn’t focused
as much on exercise as on healing. Yoga helps people learn to regard
themselves with compassion. Yoga helps with being present in the
moment, instead of dwelling on shame and regret.

11. Relapse Prevention – Chicago
Helping Patients Avoid Relapse Through Ongoing
Support
Addiction is a chronic brain disorder, often driven by psychological, medical,
social and emotional factors. Even with the best intentions, relapse is a very
real risk.
Overcoming underlying issues and sustaining sobriety takes ongoing effort and
attention. Positive Sobriety Institute is dedicated to providing resources to help
patients maintain their sober lifestyle. Through our Continuing Care Program,
individuals in recovery receive ongoing care and enjoy the fellowship of their
sober peers.
•Recovery Journey Continues After Treatment
•Ongoing Psychiatric Care Available
•Alumni Activities
•Lifelong Commitment to Sobriety

12. Recovery Journey Continues After Treatment
• Successfully completing an alcohol or drug rehab program is a huge step
toward restoring health and getting life back on track. But because of the
chronic nature of addiction, patients need to manage their recovery, much in
the same way they would manage other chronic health conditions.
Ongoing Psychiatric Care Available
• One factor known to contribute to relapse is that many patients with
addiction disorders also struggle with co-occurring conditions such as
anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar or post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). Positive Sobriety Institute’s board-certified psychiatrists are
available to provide ongoing psychiatric care, and will collaborate with a
patient’s own psychiatrist or therapist to ensure a continuum of care for
mental health issues.

13. Alumni Activities
• Friendships with sober peers who can provide support, accountability and
understanding are another extremely valuable aspect of relapse prevention.
Positive Sobriety Institute’s Alumni Group, offered through the Continuing
Care Program, provides a forum for professionals in recovery to share their
challenges, exchange ideas and celebrate one another’s progress.
Lifelong Commitment to Sobriety
• Addictive substances such as alcohol and opioids cause changes in
the structure of the brain that can take months if not years to heal. But
steering clear of alcohol and drugs isn’t the only work addicts in
recovery need to do. Through addiction treatment and therapy, many
people find that truly achieving sobriety means making significant
changes in their lives, including how they relate to others and how
they view themselves
