Participants will be provided with the latest information on helping the addicted client with Chronic Pain. Staying on medication is required for some, with the challenge as being accepted in the recovering community. This workshop will help with this tremendous challenge. Different medications will be discussed as alternatives to the traditional opiate pain medication. Alternative pain relief recommendations will also be reviewed according to the most current research. If your client has to stay on mood altering pain meds, techniques will be reviewed on how to help them feel accepted in the 12 Step Community.
