Presentation and Workshop Topic
Corinne F. Gerwe, Ph.D, LCAS, ICAADC The
Gerwe Orchestration Method (G-OM): A Revolutionary Approach to Addiction Treatment and Relapse Prevention Program Description
This is NOT your usual relapse prevention workshop which we have all
been accustomed to attending! This
presentation introduces a totally new experiential and cognitive-behavioral method of treating the underlying dynamics of
persistent addiction, maladaptive behavior and relapse based on 30 years of research and clinical practice. This method
is presented using the DSM-IV five axes and ASAM six dimensions as the structure for doing an assessment of relapse risk and
developing a relapse prevention plan, including incorporation of best practices. Time Frames This topic can be presented in 4 timeframes ranging from a brief 90-minute overview to a two-day training workshop,
which includes opportunity for development and negotiation of purchaser/provider goals, and consultation. Sample Learning Objectives At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to: Understand how feelings, physical symptoms, core memory details, and behavior
that become intrinsically interrelated during certain highly intense developmental experiences can develop into problematic
patterns that persist into adolescence/adulthood and are a major force in relapse; Help clients identify and explore the nature of pivotal lifespan experiences/responses and their
connection to persistent high risk/maladaptive patterns of behavior related to addiction susceptibility and relapse; Use the Orchestration Method in individual and small group sessions; Engage client participation and collaboration while addressing individual needs
of the client using the G-OM; Use G-OM case management
tools in diagnosis, treatment planning, prognosis, aftercare planning/referral, integrating G-OM with ASAM dimensional criteria; Integrate G-OM with the 12 Step Program and with existing treatment programs.
