Authors Note: - Zero Alcohol Drink – Alcohol Detoxification Clinical Therapy (ZAD-ADCT) is the most important Document so far in my ZAD venture. It was first published in 2005. In this blog publication, I divide it into its several small “subtitle” sections and post it one by one so to make it more appropriate to the blog reading.
This is its Thirteenth section.
ZAD-ADCT Three-In-One New Dynamic Approach
As I mentioned somewhere earlier, I had given a rudimentary form of this ZAD-ADCT subject matter in my previous paper[2] under the caption: “ZAD Clinical Therapy For Alcohol Dependence Treatment”. However while giving it a deeper thought in preparation to this sequel paper[1] I realized that under the ZAD perspective it requires a fundamental change that endows in it a renewed dynamic approach to make it suitable and sensible to respond to the existing alcoholism detoxification (AW) treatment grounds (settings) reality!
The most fundamental change introduced in it first of all is that; instead of segregating it into three separate (Inpatient, Outpatient, Home) Alcohol Withdrawal (AW) detoxification therapy settings, we combine all these three settings into a single ZAD-ADCT composite dynamic form! Also, to correspond to these three settings we make it a three-week long therapy instead of its originally assigned four-week long period. The starting first week therapy will be conducted in the in-patient settings in which the basic alcohol detoxification (AW) treatment undertaken along with its principle ZAD Cognitive Motivational Therapy (CMT). After the completion of this first residential week the ZAD participants (patients) will be discharged and sent home only to return in the evening every day in the second week for the “out-patient LAB drinking therapy” sessions basically in which their full days exposure to the “loss of control” due to their LAB drinking will undergo a severe test! Finally in the third week the participants will be left to conduct their LAB drinking at their own home settings! They may be asked to meet in the evening couple of times in the week for the consultancy sessions or the staff members will be meeting them at their home or contacting them with the phone calls. At the end of the third week the formal ZAD-ADCT Therapy course will be over! This three-in-one new dynamic approach not only enable it to gain the advantages of all these three settings but it will also shorten the time period as well as drastically reducing the overall cost!
After the successful completion of this three weeks ZAD-ADCT therapy, there will be a three months period of the ZAD practice “follow up” in which those candidates asked to meet every week to monitor the progress while maintaining their daily drinking dairy! Thereafter they may still require a less intensive observational period till the end of the year in which the “ZAD Flexible Practice”[3] may be introduced depending on their confidence! During this observational period, once in a month meetings can be organized to deal with any issue that may arise and share the experience with one another to take care and to keep in track with all its records. Of course, the association of these people may continue, perhaps selected as the speakers for the future ZAD-ADCT motivational sessions as a life long mission!
