Addiction Treatment Program: Building Defense Walls
In the outpatient addiction treatment program at The Right Step you will have the opportunity to learn more about the subject of defense mechanisms, the ways that people tend to build defense walls and the reasons they use these internal defenses.
One of the reasons that the qualified addiction recovery professionals at The Right Step will discuss in this portion of the group addiction treatment program that people have for building defensive walls will include defending their addiction disease illness.
Through discussions, alcohol and drug addiction treatment exercises and visual aids, you will be helped to better understand the many aspects connecting to the building of these defense walls.
Disease of Addiction: Results of Building Defense Walls
Results of developing these internal walls of defense in active substance abuse addiction include progressing toward emotional isolation and the progression deeper into spiritual isolation.
We will also be covering the common defense mechanisms that people use to defend themselves in drug and alcohol addiction. These defensive mechanisms include attacking, aggression, minimizing the problems associated with drug abuse and alcohol abuse, blaming others, judging others and intellectualizing.
Other common defense mechanisms used in addiction disease include simply complying, agreeing, projecting, denying, rationalizing and using alibis.
Additionally, evading, remaining silent, maximizing issues, using humor, behaving in a threatening manner, isolating, justifying and withdrawing are other defense mechanisms that will be discussed during this particular addiction recovery session during your eight weeks in the outpatient addiction treatment program at The Right Step.
