The Harm-Reduction and Peer-Based Approaches

I’m working on a Psychology exercise and need support.

Overview: For milestone two, you will discuss the applicability of the harm-reduction and peer-based approaches for your selected contemporary issue in addictions.

Prompt: You will write a 4-5 page paper (APA FORMAT) that addresses each of the following critical elements:

In this section of your analysis, you will investigate treatment approaches for addiction treatment and discuss their applicability to the issue you described in Milestone One.

1. Analyze the Approaches

a. Analyze peer-based approaches in terms of the neuroscience of addiction and treatment models and applicability to your issue.

b. Analyze harm-reduction approaches in terms of the neuroscience of addiction and treatment models and applicability to your issue.

2. Utility of Traditional and Current Treatment Approaches to Diverse Populations

a. Assess the utility of traditional treatment approaches for working with diverse populations. How might they be applicable to this issue?

b. Assess the utility of current treatment approaches for working with diverse populations. How might these approaches be applicable to this issue?

3. Recommendations

a. What recommendations do you have for addiction treatment programs specific to the behavior or substance issue, given your evaluation of current research?

b. Evaluate the effectiveness of these recommendations as qualified by the current research. This is where you may also want to discuss why this evidence more compelling to you than evidence that may contradict your recommendations.
