Drug counseling offered in county The Clackamas County Men ai Health Program has employed two counselors to provide ser vices for persons 14-years Or old er with drug problems, according to Paul Jarrett, drug treatment specialist. Services include lab tests, phy sical assessment, psychological I testing, medications and personal I or family counseling from the ! counselors, who. each have over five years of experience working I with adults, families and adoles cents. "In some casés we will provide outpatient supervision for with drawal if needed," Jarrett said. "The program excludes primary alcohol problems or people who are on Methadone maintenance. However, for someone who uses alcohol along with other drugs’ this program' may be appro priate." "Some people associate coun seling with head shrinking or severe emotional crisis, or some other form of medieval torture," he said. "However, this is not necessarily so, particularly for people who are using drugs and and want to stop. Counseling can include the simple act of en couragement to cut down on the amount of drugs used, or for someone who wants to stop completely, advice and techni ques on how to do this with the least possible pain." One of the counselors gives what he calls 'Training in Guilt Reduction'. Many people feel guilty about having ever used drugs, and don't understand vyhy they started. In many cases, the drug used served a purpose at one time, he said. "For example, for some peo- pie it relieves anxiety after a crisis," he said. "Unfortunately, the drug use itself becomes an other focus of crisis, and this be- gins a vicious circle. Breaking this vicious circle isn't always easy but it is usually worth it." Another technique the clinic uses is what is called 'Training in Positive Imagry', This is training a person to seek out what is positive in life so that the body and the mind automatically seek experiences that are helpful and life giving. "Also, training in how to use a crisis is important." Jarrett said. "A crisis in one's life is often a time of drastic change. Turning this to advantage by be ing able to step back and look at yourself with new eyes, with new appreciation for the strength that , you have, sometimes requires the aid of someone who is an inter ested listener."
