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."
