LOCATION: AMELIA 1, 2 & 3 Moving from Trauma-Informed to Trauma-Focused Care: A Mindfulness Based Multi-Modal Approach Stephen Dansiger, PSYD, MFT | e Supported by Refuge Recovery Treatment Centers Level of Instruction: Intermediate/Advanced Addictions treatment has come a long way over the centuries, particularly since the advent of Alcoholics Anonymous over 80 years ago.

Over the last 30 years, our insight into the treatment of trauma related disorders and difficulties has progressed, with Francine Shapiro’s development of EMDR therapy being a particular highlight. Our understanding of the link between traumatic experiences and the difficulties and suffering of people with addictive disorders has grown. SAMSHA and other clinical bodies have indicated the need for additions treatment to follow the principles of trauma-informed care. This often experiential presentation will make clear the theory and research behind the development and implementation of both mindfulness and EMDR Therapy to engender not just trauma-informed care but trauma-focused care, using case studies and anecdotal evidence of how this model is progressing, with recommendations for further research and practice.

James Hiller, PhD, MT-BC has been providing and supervising music therapy for a Men’s Residential Unit of an SUD treatment facility called NOVA Behavioral Health in Dayton, OH, offering a comprehensive view of the way music therapy may be approached with men in a 28 day program, drawing on music-centered, cognitive, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives, with a focus on both experiencing music for self-learning and examining music as a healthy resource for post-treatment maintenance of sobriety. Clinical music experiences are designed with group and individually-oriented aims in mind and fall primarily under Improvisational, Receptive (i.e., listening), and Composition Methods. A music-centered perspective focuses on engagement of the whole person in creative, expressive, and relational music experiences which are subsequently processed at varying levels depending on group dynamics and individual readiness and according to the most relevant perspective in the moment. This “Integral” (Wilbur) approach honors the particular needs and proclivities of each of the residents as their process unfolds, with the aim of enriched coping.
