People with addiction issues may have particular physical, mental and spiritual issues, as well as specific end-of-life needs.
Three areas of learning can help the chaplain best serve the needs of these patients:
1. Recognizing how addiction affects the brain and body of the individual, and how it affects the family system
2. Understanding the spiritual nature of AA and related 12-step programs
3. Knowing how various ethnic groups experience addiction.
The presentation will focus on addictions in general, with an emphasis on alcoholism and chemical dependency. It will also provide an overview of sexual, gambling and other behavioral addictions, as well as co-dependency.
