Psycho‐educational approach to addiction — a case study

Abstract

What hope is there for a young, unemployed man with learning disabilities and a lifetime of drug and alcohol problems? For many like this, services can prove reluctant or unhelpful due to a lack of motivation and complex needs. In this unique case study we explore the potential of a psycho‐educational approach to help Mr A increase knowledge and motivation in order to begin to regain control and confidence in his life.
