APM™ Relapse Prevention Coaching is Effective for Quality Chronic Pain Management
People with chronic pain and coexisting disorders including addiction have different requirements than the traditional client with only an addictive disorder. Many programs are beginning to better address these clients in residential and outpatient treatment formats, but unfortunately continuing care treatment is still lacking for clients with pain management needs.
To help deal with this gap in the continuum of care for this population, we have developed Addiction-Free Pain Management® (APM) Continuing Care Coaching services. This service is offered through a conference call format to provide clients with the most flexibility as they return to their families and community.
The goal of APM™ Continuing Care Coaching is to support people with chronic pain conditions who are leaving residential or outpatient treatment to continue the improvements they have made in treatment, and increase their quality of life by implementing a strategic set of pain management and relapse prevention protocols found in the APM™ Continuing Care Coaching Program developed by Dr. Stephen F. Grinstead.
We also offer APM™ Relapse Prevention Coaching for people who cannot or do not want to enroll in a treatment program but could benefit from coaching. To learn more about APM™ Coaching go to the Coaching Page on our website and complete the Coaching Questionnaire to see if coaching is right for you.
