Suicidality is an opportunity for change.
What if the darkest moments could become turning points? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes tackles the challenging topic of crisis intervention in substance abuse treatment, with a focus on suicide prevention. Suicidality, she explains, is not just a cry for help but a complex issue influenced by various factors. During early recovery, individuals are particularly vulnerable, making it crucial to include a suicide prevention plan in treatment strategies.
However, this doesn't replace the need for active monitoring and regular risk assessments. Dr. Snipes emphasizes that suicidality can be a moment for change, a chance to shift from despair to hope. Using tools like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), she provides methods to manage extreme emotions and avoid getting stuck in a cycle of depression or anxiety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in substance abuse treatment or supporting someone through recovery.
It offers practical advice and compassionate insights into handling one of the most critical aspects of addiction therapy.
