What is your ACE Score?

Does your history have anything to do with addictive behavior?

ACE or Adverse Childhood Experiences quiz was developed in the 1990s through research conducted by the CDC and
Kaiser Permanente. Researchers determined that 10 specific traumatic childhood experiences, or ACEs, are linked to a higher
likelihood of health challenges later in life. The higher the ACE score the more likely a person is to suffer from these health
challenges such as addiction and other mental health disorders.

THE 10 ACES WERE DEFINED AS THE FOLLOWING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES:

– Physical, sexual or verbal abuse

– Physical or emotional neglect

– Separation or divorce

– A family member with mental illness

– A family member addicted to drugs or alcohol

– A family member who is in prison

– Witnessing a parent being abuse

What if I relapse during my treatment with Mind Dynamics? 

If you were to experience a relapse during your treatment with Mind Dynamics, it’s crucial to communicate this to your treatment team immediately. Relapse is a common part of the recovery process for many individuals struggling with substance use disorder, and it doesn’t mean that your treatment has failed or that you can’t continue on the path to recovery.

Here are the steps that we take when you were to experience a relapse:

1. Assessment and Evaluation: 

Your treatment team conducts a thorough assessment to understand the circumstances surrounding the relapse. We will explore triggers, stressors, and any underlying issues that contributed to the relapse.

2. Reevaluation of Treatment Plan: 

Based on the assessment, your treatment plan may be adjusted to address any new or underlying issues that have emerged. This could involve modifications to therapy techniques, medication management, or additional support services.

3. Increased Support: 

Mind Dynamics may provide additional support and resources to help you navigate through the relapse and prevent further setbacks. This could include more frequent therapy sessions, participation in support groups, or involvement of family members in the treatment process.

4. Education and Coping Skills: 

You may receive additional education and training on coping skills to manage cravings, triggers, and stressors more effectively. Learning how to identify warning signs of relapse and implementing strategies to prevent it in the future is an essential part of the recovery process.

5. Encouragement and Motivation: 

Mind Dynamics will continue to offer encouragement and motivation to help you stay committed to your recovery goals. Relapse can be discouraging, but it’s essential to remember that it’s a part of the journey, and each setback provides an opportunity for growth and learning.

What if I relapse after my treatment with Mind Dynamics?

Long-term recovery is probable and is not created without setbacks or breakdowns. You will succeed and build an extraordinary life. When relapse occurs after treatment at Mind Dynamics, we employ a comprehensive approach to help individuals reestablish their inspiration for sobriety and long-term recovery. Here are the steps we take:

1. Assessment and Evaluation:

The first step is to assess the individual’s current situation, including the circumstances leading to the relapse, any changes in their mental or emotional state, and the extent of substance use. This assessment helps in understanding the specific needs and challenges faced by the individual.

Mind Dynamics recognizes the importance of social support in recovery. We encourage connecting to or reconnecting with a support network, including family members, friends, sponsors, or peers from support groups. Establishing for the first time or reestablishing these connections can provide much-needed encouragement and accountability.

In some cases, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) may be appropriate, especially for individuals struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction. Mind Dynamics psych team will determine if MAT is suitable and provides comprehensive monitoring and support throughout the process.

7. Aftercare Planning and Continuum of Care: 

Recovery is an ongoing process, we understand the importance of aftercare planning and continued support.
