Program offers new hope for many problem drinkers A program which started earlier this month is offering new hope for alcohol abusers and their friends and families in Huron County. Spearheaded by the Huron Council for Action on Alcohol and other Drugs (CAAD), the assessment and referral program has t.4 backing of the Addiction Research Foundation, London, and a wide range of health professionals in the county. What makes it different from other programs for alcoholics, organizers ex- plain, is its broad-spectrum approach to the problems of alcohol and drug abuse. Instead of treating the symptoms through periodic "drying out", it hopes to get to the root of the problems causing the abuse, and then offer treatment and follow- up for individual cases. "When you meet any alcoholic, there's more than just the problem of drinking," explains Joy Daymond of the Wingham Mental Health Resource Centre, one of five centres across the county involved in the new program. "There may be a number of other problems. There may be an employment problem; a financial prob- lem." Through their assessments of patients, the staff at the various centres hope to isolate these problems and, hopefully, set the person on the road to correcting them. Treatment begins with a fairly intensive assessment of the patient's background and lifestyle, Mrs. Daymond said, including why and how much he or she is drinking and whether he wants to do anything about it. Motivation is a key, she noted. An alcoholic may be pressed by a spouse to go to the centre but, deep down, does not really want to change. In that case the staff can do little more than bring the problems to his attention. Following the assessment, staff decide on a treatment plan and refer the patient to the appropriate treatment services. This can range from being admitted to the hospital for "drying out" to Euchre party held in community hall BLUEVALE — Fourteen tables of euchre were played last Monday in the com- munity hall. Isobel Garniss was the high lady, L. Freiburger was the low lady, E. Sellers was the high man and Jim Shaw was the low man. Ethel Moffatt won the lucky draw. The next Senior Citizens' euchre is scheduled for April 11. outpatient treatment, Alco- holics Anonymous, or mari- tal or financial counselling. "If a person came with a marital problem and we felt they needed help in that area, we would refer them for counselling," which also is offered at the mental health centre, Mrs. Day - mond said. A difference between this service and some existing ones such as AA is that "we're going into it much more thoroughly," . she noted. "AA doesn't offer assessment. We're going to assess the person and really get at the roots of the problems.". On the other hand, "we believe very strongly in AA," she added, and it is one of the avenues of treatment to which a person might be referred. For some people, finding alternative leisure activities forms part of the treatment, since their leisure time may be devoted completely to drinking. Essentially a volunteer service run by professionals — staff at the centres have been specially trained for this program, but are of- fering it in addition to their regular duties — it is hoped the program will attract those who need it. "We hope people will feel free and comfortable to call in themselves," Mrs. Day - mond said, though referrals may also come from doctors, nurses, family or friends. There is no doubt the program is needed here: statistics from a number of surveys indicate that Huron County is one of the worst in Ontario in terms of alcohol abuse. The service is offered at no charge to the patient, and anyone interested is invited to call either 524-7111 (Goderich) or 357-1614 (Wingham) for more in- formation.
