A WRAP Workbook adapted for people with a dual diagnosis of
psychiatric illness and addictive disorder by Mary Ellen Copeland, MS,
MA
This special edition of the original WELLNESS RECOVERY
ACTION PLAN™ book presents a system developed and used successfully by
people with a variety of physical and emotional symptoms including
addictive disorders. It has helped them use self help skills more
easily to monitor their symptoms, decrease the severity and frequency
of symptoms, prevent relapse and improve the quality of their lives.
Learning
self help skills for dealing with physical and emotional symptoms, as
well as addictions is a simple process... but it's a much greater
challenge using self help methods during the most difficult times --
when they can help the most -- and incorporating them into daily life.
This book will help you:
- develop your own list of activities for your every day well being
- track triggering events and early warning signs
- prepare your personal responses if symptoms increase
- create a plan for your supporters to follow to care for you if necessary
Using
the Wellness Recovery Action Plan™, self management of addictions,
physical and emotional symptoms becomes possible and practical.
