With great sadness, the counselor reflects, “The patients
who come here do SO WELL while they are in treatment,
but so many of them relapse in the days and weeks
following their discharge. We bring them back into
treatment and they seem to do well again but often repeat
the relapse pattern when they go back home. How can
they do so well in treatment and so poorly in their natural
environments?”

Addiction treatment was birthed in part to eliminate the revolving door through
which alcoholics and addicts cycled through the criminal justice system and the
hospitals. Addiction treatment programs have now BECOME that revolving door.
Today, 64% of clients entering publically funded treatment in the US have
already had one or more prior treatments. And 50% will be readmitted to
treatment within 2 – 5 years.

  The Open Community Model of Care provides
  relapsing addicts and alcoholics - some of whom are
  in very early recovery – with the prospect of a safe
  and sober transition from acute residential care into
  real life in recovery…

  And yet, these gains are not achieved without
  significant exposure to real-world stressors and
  opportunities for relapse.

Yes or No?                  How it works



There is a direct and
indisputable correlation
between length of stay in
residential treatment and
the sober outcomes.
Yes AND No                    How it works



Some clients DO require
more time in an acute care
setting… However, simply
extending the length of
treatment without moving
the client into a real-life
community setting assures
only continuous
abstinence, not recovery.

How it works


 “    It is important to define and distinguish between two
      very different models of care: an acute care (AC)
      model that focuses on bio psychosocial stabilization
      and a recovery management model (RM) that
      emphasizes sustained recovery support. As a
      professional field, we have oversold what a single
      episode of acute care can achieve…
                                                          - William White

True or not true?                                       Action

Chronic relapsing addicts and
alcoholics in early recovery
require a treatment setting that is
safe, secluded, and free from
outside distractions and relapse
triggers.

It is therefore essential to maintain
separation between a residential
treatment program and the
community around it.

                    sustainable sobriety,
                    clients must learn to
                    manage an
                    environment which
                    offers a daily choice
                    between relapse or
                    recovery.

 The therapeutic alliance between counselor and
 patient is the most important relationship in any

  In extended care
  programs, the
  counselor’s role is
  to facilitate strong
  relationships among
  the clients – not with
  the clients. These
  programs value the
  peer-to-peer
  relationship above
  all else.

Broken Windows Theory (1982)

           New York City saw a 50% reduction in violent
           crimes (such as murder, rape and robbery) as
           the result of a “community policing”
           campaign which focused repairing broken
           windows, cleaning up graffiti, and a crack
           down on minor offenses such as subway fare-
           scoffers and squeegee-wielding panhandlers.

Open Community Model of Care - CCSAD 2012

  • 1. Shootout at the I’m Okay Corral The “Open Community Model of Care” in the Treatment of Chronic Relapsing Addicts and Alcoholics Bob Ferguson CEO / Founder, Jaywalker Lodge Cape Cod Symposium on Addictive Disorders September 8, 2012 1 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care
  • 2. Disclosure Jaywalker Lodge, LLC is a residential treatment program for men in Carbondale, Colorado. It is a private, for-profit company. I am the owner and founder of this company. I represent this organization professionally. I am paid by this organization. 2 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care
  • 3. Personal Bio • Hazelden Foundation (1995 – 2001) • Crossroads Antigua (2001 – 2003) • Promises Treatment Centers (2003 – 2004) • Jaywalker Lodge (est. 2005) 3 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care
  • 4. William White, MA With great sadness, the counselor reflects, “The patients who come here do SO WELL while they are in treatment, but so many of them relapse in the days and weeks following their discharge. We bring them back into treatment and they seem to do well again but often repeat the relapse pattern when they go back home. How can they do so well in treatment and so poorly in their natural environments?” Addiction treatment was birthed in part to eliminate the revolving door through which alcoholics and addicts cycled through the criminal justice system and the hospitals. Addiction treatment programs have now BECOME that revolving door. Today, 64% of clients entering publically funded treatment in the US have already had one or more prior treatments. And 50% will be readmitted to treatment within 2 – 5 years. “Linking Addiction Treatment and Communities of Recovery” Article 2006 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care 4
  • 5. How It Into Action Overview Works Working A Vision with Others for You The Open Community Model of Care provides relapsing addicts and alcoholics - some of whom are in very early recovery – with the prospect of a safe and sober transition from acute residential care into real life in recovery… And yet, these gains are not achieved without significant exposure to real-world stressors and opportunities for relapse. 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care 5
  • 6. How It Into Action Works Objectives A Vision Working with Others for You • Articulate the critical differences between primary care and extended care addiction treatment. • Examine the milieu and transition strategies for transitioning patients from an acute care setting into real life recovery. • Explore the vital and evolving role of alumni relations and community service in residential treatment today. 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care 6
  • 7. Yes or No? How it works There is a direct and indisputable correlation between length of stay in residential treatment and the sober outcomes.
  • 8. Yes AND No How it works Some clients DO require more time in an acute care setting… However, simply extending the length of treatment without moving the client into a real-life community setting assures only continuous abstinence, not recovery.
  • 9. How it works PRIMARY CARE  Arresting Addiction  Education  Counselor directed  Secluded setting  Intro to 12 Steps  Safe, secluded time out from EXTENDED CARE life’s distractions  Initiating Life in Recovery  Application Letting go of substances  Peer directed  Community setting  12 Step Immersion  Structured, hectic re-entry into real life recovery Letting go of self 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care 9
  • 10. How it works “ It is important to define and distinguish between two very different models of care: an acute care (AC) model that focuses on bio psychosocial stabilization and a recovery management model (RM) that emphasizes sustained recovery support. As a professional field, we have oversold what a single episode of acute care can achieve… - William White 9/8/2012 Colorado Model of Care 10

Action Chronic relapsing addicts and alcoholics in early recovery require a treatment setting that is safe, secluded, and free from outside distractions and relapse triggers.

  1. I want to leave you with FOUR key ideas at the end of our talk today.Start out with the iPod shuffle story. The morale: Extended Care is no more a step down from primary than the iPhone is a step down from a personal computer. We will be zooming in on the part of the continuum that lives in between primary acute care and independent living in the recovery community.Take some risks – who says they can’t?? Your patients are amazing if you just give them a challenge and if you’re willing to take a chance or two.It’s never over – alumni have been treated as an afterthought, but now we realize they are at the very center of our program. Do not simply focus on the recovery community – focus on the ENTIRE community at large. They provide your structure, your curriculum, and if you just pay attention to them, they will LOVE you!!Steve Jobs – famously said we are innovators, therefore we don’t have competitors.
  2. I am going to talk about the continuum of care – specifically that part of the continuum between the end of primary care treatment and before sustainable and autonomous recovery in the community at large. How it Works … is a discussion of the definitions and distinct differences between traditional treatment and the new open community models that are emerging. I will talk about how the open community model is uniquely positioned to specifically address the needs of the chronic relapsing client in early recovery. Into Action… is an examination of the lessons we’ve learned about the Open Community model since we began operating nearly seven years ago. There have been numerous mistakes and miscalculations, misplaced assumptions, adjustments and changes along the way. Hence, we will discuss the “evolution” of treatment on this leg of the continuum.Working with others… refers to best practices by other programs and services in the industry. Specifically, I will take a few minutes to discuss how other practioners and provides in other communities are implementing their own forms of the Open Community ModelFinally, in a Vision For You… I will recklessly propose where I think all of this is headed in the future. One part predictions of the inevitable, one part wishful thinking…Afterwards, I would really like to open the floor for questions and discussion about what you all have encountered and overcome in your communities.

  4. Here is the great news about the evolution of treatment as I see it unfolding in real time before our eyes: As an industry we have held fast to the holistic principals of Body, Mind, Spirit which take their roots in the Minnesota Model when a handful of recovering drunks and doctors left Wilmar State Hospital and founded the Hazelden program together in 1949. Body + Mind + Spirit = is a sacred and enduring principal in our field even today. Multidisciplinary teams continue to flourish, although outside factors such as managed care and an ever shifting payer mix have produced a dynamic tension between who leads that team… ie. The primary care addiction counselor of the guy in the white jacket with his prescription pad. But THAT is a talk for another day.The question for us today is how does – or how should – the holistic approach (body, mind, spirit) be adjusted or recalibrated as we move down the continuum of care from acute primary treatment to extended relapse treatment

  6. This is a discussion about the very fundamental differences between programs designed to stop addiction, and those designed to start recovery.William White puts it this way:Circa 2006 “Linking addiction treatment and communities of recovery”Completion of addiction treatment AND participation with recovery mutual aid groups is more predictive of long-term recovery than either one of these alone.
  7. PROBLEM STATEMENTMy dad once told me that treatment is just a very time consuming and expensive way for stubborn people to discover that AA meetings are free.TELL STORY HERE: My final and most spectacular relapse was filled with shame and desperation. The PARTY was OVER… (Tour and Travel News)But why? A. Failure to grasp step one and B. I was still on my own… emotionally isolated even in a room full of people.William White puts it this way in his2008 research findings entitled Recovery Oriented Systems of CareIt is important to define and distinguish between two very different models of care: an acute care (AC) model that focuses on bio psychosocial stabilization and a recovery management model (RM) that emphasizes sustained recovery support. The historical tension between these models is reaching a tipping point, and the stakes involve in the outcome are quite high. As a professional field, we have oversold what a single episode of acute care can achieve for the more than 2 million individuals enter addiction treatment programs each year in the US.

  15. We’ve all been there: It’s QUIET in the dining room. That means one thing only… somebody’s holding onto a secret. Secrets in treatment are like termites, they eat away at the very foundation of the house. And with so many distractions, how can their NOT be secrets – girls in the AA community, porn or gambling, online or in the community… there is so much “leakage” possible in an open community model.How to root out the secrets?We learned that the solutions to these problems does not lie in root cause or family of origin issues or regressive trauma resolution work. You don’t work on making your bed. You don’t work on going to AA. You just make your bed and you go to AA. The spiritual dashboard is a peer-directed accountability index of made beds, meditation attendance, AA meetings, house chores, on-time dinner attendance, and daily focus sheets.
