Permission Accepted

Alone in my freshman dorm during a holiday break, I experienced DT's. I had no conscious contact with anything. I was admitted to a hospital and stayed there for eighteen months. For the first two months, I was comatose. Then I was battered by twenty-six rounds of electroshock therapy.
After seeing my physician for two years, I asked him why he always greeted me using my full name: "Hello, Diane Jane Everett."
He said, "Because two years ago, you didn't know that was your name."
In Permission Accepted, I finish telling the story of my recovery. I was yelling: "Why am I going through this?" The Divine answered, "Why not you? When you go through this experience and share it, no one else will have to go through this again. It's going to be done. It will be finished."
I received permission to live. And I accepted.

Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People with Physical and Cognitive Disabilities (Revised)
<b>NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT- OVERSTOCK SALE - Significantly reduced list price </b> <p/> This TIP, <i>Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People With Physical and Cognitive Disabilities</i>, is intended to enhance treatment providers' knowledge concerning people who have a physical or cognitive disability in addition to their substance use disorder. Treatment programs for substance use disorders already see many individuals with coexisting disabilities, but many providers fail to accommodate these individuals either because they are unaware of the disability or how accommodations can improve treatment outcomes (even though such accommodations are legally mandated). The first chapter defines and explains the issues involved in treating people with coexisting disabilities. Chapter 2 discusses how to screen for coexisting disabilities and how to adapt substance use disorder screenings for clients who have a disability. Chapter 3 discusses treatment planning and counseling&#x3b; it also describes how treatment can be modified to meet the particular needs of people with coexisting disabilities. Forming linkages with other service providers is the topic of Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 presents material for program administrators. In Appendix B, there is a comprehensive list of resources. Appendix C discusses the proper language to use when referring to people with disabilities. <i>Alcohol and Drug Programs and the Americans With Disabilities Act</i>, a pamphlet from the Pacific Research and Training Alliance, is reproduced in Appendix D.
