Managing Resistance & Denial in Chemically Dependent Abusive/Violent Clients
Training Location: Capitola California
Instructor: Dr. Stephen F. Grinstead
Gorski-CENAPS® Senior Consultant and Trainer
Training Goal
Upon completing this training, participants will be able to help their clients to identify and manage the defense or denial patterns that lead to self-sabotage.
Training Description
Significant obstacles must be addressed before positive treatment outcomes can be realized for chemically dependent clients when violence or abuse issues are involved. Many treatment professionals become overwhelmed by the multiplicity of the symptoms presented by this population. This workshop creatively integrates current treatment strategies demonstrated to be beneficial in chemical dependency treatment as well as effective approaches used in domestic violence and anger manaement treatment. Participants will use proven chemical dependency denial management methods, such as the ones developed by Terence Gorski’s CENAPS® Corporation, which have been modified for use with this population by Dr. Grinstead. The above will be accomplished using a combination of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and experiential exercises.

Are We Managing Pain or Fueling Addiction?
Training Location: Philadelphia, PA
Instructor: Dr. Stephen F. Grinstead
Gorski-CENAPS® Senior Consultant and Trainer
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop the participants will be able to:
1. Understand and explain the unique needs and obstacles confronting patients and their families who are both chemically dependent and have chronic pain conditions.
2. Identify the sixteen (16) most common prescription drugs of abuse.
3. Identify the twelve (12) common denial patterns and be able to help patients identify and manage their personal denial patterns that lead them to self-defeating behaviors.
4. Identify the twelve (23) Red Flags for people in recovery who need to be taking prescription medications.
Training Description
Healthcare professionals as well as mental health and addiction treatment providers are on the front line to accurately assess, intervene upon and develop appropriate treatment plans for the impaired patient with a chronic pain condition. This can become more difficult when prescription drug abuse/addiction present; often because of a mismanaged chronic pain condition that may be either under treated and over treated. We know from the research on people using pain medications for chronic pain that about 1.5 to 20%, depending on the study used, will have substance use disorders (i.e., abuse or addiction). Using a conservative 10% estimate, over 10 million chronic pain sufferers will experience substance use disorders.
Therefore, an important goal of this workshop will be to focus on identification and effective intervention and treatment of prescription drug abuse for chronic pain patients. This will be accomplished in part by discussing how to identify the most common red flags of prescription drug abuse, and the denial patterns patients use to avoid recognizing and/or dealing with their prescription drug abuse/addiction, as well as becoming familiar with common pain management drugs of abuse.
Since chronic pain includes both physiological and psychological pain symptoms, the participants of this presentation will learn how to differentiate between the two types of symptoms; how effective implementation of a multidisciplinary and integrated pain management approach can increase positive treatment outcomes by addressing the synergistic effect of pain and chemical dependency issues; and what components are necessary to treat the synergistic symptoms of pain and addiction, which include medication management, emotional/ psychological management, and non-pharmacological pain management.
