My mind map focuses on the different elements involved in the occurrence and the recovery of substance abuse. I think these are vitally important to how I view addictions as I belief that there is not only on theory for addiction but rather many different roots that lead to the same circumstance. I believe that how the individual believes they have gotten to the situation they are in, should be the only focus when asking why this has happened to them rather than classifying it as a disease, genetics, or any other specific mechanism. Essentially, I think that an individual experiences is the key to both the onset and they treatment of substance or process based addictions and that each individual needs to be assessed and treated accordingly. Similarly, I believe that the individual differences between individuals is the motivating factor in how they go about seeking treatment (i.e. where on the continuum of services), what approaches work best (i.e. group counselling, self help), and which areas of wellness need to be improved (i.e. emotional, social, occupational). Basically, everyone had their own story and they is the only one which should matter to the intervener.
