Medical perspective on addiction

 

 

 

Family/Carer Support Groups

Apart from supporting the service user with an addiction, we also support families by being there for them through their emotional journey of living with someone who is misusing alcohol or drugs.

These groups allow families and carers to come together and to share their experiences and challenges from a cultural perspective. The carers and family members gain an understanding of how to support their partners from alcohol and drug misuse as well as themselves with issues of co-dependency.

What do we mean by co-dependency?

Co-dependency helps to address behaviours and attitudes people develop whilst they are living with the person addicted to drugs and alcohol. Co-dependency is a pattern that can be recognised by loss of identity and being out of touch with ones feelings, wishes and desires.

Behaviours such as:

• emotional distress
• helplessness
• isolation
• guilt
• shame
• anger
• intimacy problems
• distrust
• cultural shame and ostracism

Help Towards Education, Training & Employment

BAC-IN recognises the beginning of a service users journey to recovery starts with a detox that leads towards abstinence. Being drug and alcohol free is the foundation that is necessary to help service users to build so as to reintegrate into society and to develop psychosocially.

At BAC-IN we have dedicated staff that help service users towards education, training, employment and self-employment. The types of education offered include help towards, IT classes, anger management, confidence building, assertiveness training, drug and alcohol awareness and business development. Training courses include business management, construction work, health and social care, basic Maths and English and basic counselling courses.

Exercise & Fitness

BAC-IN as an organisation recognises spirit, body and mind components that are essential to human development. As part of the wider structure of recovery BAC-IN encourages service users towards health and fitness as a part of their overall self-transformation.
