John,
As with hypnosis and other 12 step programs it has to be the clients idea to come to you and telling them about the 12 step program is kinda telling them about something ahead of why they are coming to you...in short.just worry about the…

Hi Scott, and readers,
Generalization... true. The 12 Steps are an excellent path, no doubt. If it Works it Works, to be sure.
12 Step in its concept is often very different than the dynamic of group work, and there is much to be gained from an…

Scott;
Thank you for so eloquently summing up my feelings and I am sure the feelings of many others on 12 Step Groups. We need to remember it is our clients treatment, not ours, and whatever works....works.

Scott is right getting him off of it should be through the dr. recommendation..get a referral from the Physcian and go from there..on the Dr. ok....everyone has good points..

Make sure you recommend 12 Step if you want them in a toxic social situation with people often court ordered to be there, modeling less than effective skills of self proclaimed addicts for life.

Your patient may need a formal detox. Do not treat a client like this unless you have had him medically cleared. You are out of your scope of practice if you treat without medical clearance. After he is properly detoxed you can make very valuable…

Andrea,
Addiction for Drugs, alcohol and prescription drugs are all the same they are all addictions...
If the client feels comfortable with you then he/she should be honest enough where you can help them.
Suggest the 12 step program later on.. but…

If your not experinced with it refer out, otherwise call your teacher and ask them to help you.
Before you do anything else ask him to join a 12 step program, call his dr. (with written permission) and let him know what is going on and how hypnosis…

I started witting my own stuff after I had bought many other books which were out there and didn't like what I was buying. I had to keep fixing what I was using or worse, retyping constantly.
What broke it for me was I had called a colleague many states away and I had asked her to get back to me with some help on a session, I had someone coming in with that issue in 10 days. She had been hosting classes at a convention on this particular issue. I left several messages and sent a few emails and she never replied. So I dug in and started witting my own script. I saved it in my computer and started witting everything down.
So the book started at Version one, by my standards now, more like a pamphlet size wise back then, but the sessions I wrote kept growing and growing, and now it hundreds of pages long. I now have copies on 6 Continents and it's being translated into languages on the fly, where English isn't the primary language. From what I'm told, the top selling book of it's kind. It's written in Hypnotic language, yeah, run on sentences, some stuff is skewed, that's intentional, it's the way Hypnotists work and the way the mind accepts things.
Keep On Trancing!
