Treatment Methodology The individual strengths model utilized in this program was organized around four major theoretical frameworks and the stages of change model: Experimental-humanistic theory, Adventure-Based theory, Intergenerational-Humanistic theory, and Structural Group theory. This model incorporates working the theoretical concepts including self-esteem, maturation, communication, and developing an individual sense of purpose. The major techniques used in applications utilizing this approach are communication stances, family sculpture, family reconstruction, and personal awareness enhancement. The stages of change model is used in adjunction to identify the developmental needs of an individual and to meet the client at their level, assuming that not everyone is at the same stage of readiness. Based on the ideal that change does not occur in a linear fashion, but rather in a cyclical or dynamic pattern, the model allows counselors to guide clients to make their own decisions and “tip the balance” toward positive changes. The model is comprised of 6 stages of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, determination, action, maintenance, and relapse. In the adaptation of the model, an addiction stage has been added called “slips” to accommodate for the tendency for clients to be polarized in being “all good” or “all bad”. Adding this stage also teaches individuals to deal with a mistake rather than “throwing all their work away”.  The methodology incorporated into the Southwest Recovery model is designed to be eclectic in nature. We believe that there is no individual way to meet the needs of everyone using any one approach. We feel it is necessary to employ many clinical styles in order to most effectively meet the needs of our clients. Some of the most common practices used in our treatment methodology and adjunct therapy are listed below:
