Having a Concrete Plan in Treatments
Having a concrete plan in treatments is crucial for individuals dealing with addiction and homelessness. Providing individuals with a clear direction on who they are and what steps to take helps circumvent expensive and risky processes. By offering a structured plan, individuals have something better to do than engage in destructive behaviors. This approach aligns with the understanding that addiction stems from lacking a better alternative and a negative future outlook. Encouraging individuals to adopt responsibilities and engage in constructive activities can lead them to discontinue harmful habits, as seen in studies with rats and young men. Integrating processes that assist in creating a definitive plan can be a valuable addition to treatment strategies for addressing addiction and homelessness.
