In our program to help and support to make you free of substance abuse, we understand how important is to make a stop and dedicate time to yourself. Praying and meditation have different approaches, but an important role. As we discuss in previous episodes, you can't handle an addiction problem by yourself. You can pray to God as if you're just talking to him, you can meditate talking to yourself. There are many ways to engage with that High Power and with yourself. In fact, prayer and meditation are best kept as free as possible of preconceptions and expectations. There is no "ONE WAY" of praying. Every individual is different and has unique ways, in the end, the goal will be the same, to make you free and keep you coordinated with you and the universe and God.

Follow-up and consistency are the keys. During the first months of any addiction recovery, the firsts months are the most difficult. We all are tempted to falling back. And when you fall down you gotta get back up no matter how bad it hurts. The goal should be to avoid that to happen. We should be realistic that bad habits that were continuously part of our daily life will prompt on us in different manners. That's why we should have that list (inventory) of ourselves that guides us to the process of avoiding going into that bar again, that street, those friends, and those moments that activated our thirst to use that substance. Your new normal must be supervised at all times. For more information on our 12 Steps program, call or visit Kemah Palms Recovery at:

There are cases where others are better of not knowing. In a case where people won't get hurt, it's ok to make a direct amendment with such a person, but some truths will injure that other person and are better off not telling anything. In this case, you will be protecting that person from a painful feeling and it's ok. Often, "that" person is someone you haven't seen in many years and there will be no emotional connection anymore hence is not worth bringing back devasted memories. Now, the truth is that there are a lot of people that we may have caused pain as a result of our actions. We will focus and work with you on those.

In every relationship, is terrifying to think that everything got broken because of our misbehavior, and sometimes their faults. there are always a few stubbornly proud people who consider an impatient word or neglected thank-you fair cause to snub someone for life. Chances are, if your substance abuse problem has lasted any length of time, you’ll finish your list, take a good look at it–and experience a major burst of panic. Remember, you are responsible only for your own actions. The refusal of an apology or reparation doesn’t negate all value in your having offered it; you have done what you could by showing your willingness to accept responsibility. Let it go and consider your duty done. The other party may come around eventually; in any case, you needn’t let the problem continue to weigh you down. Whatever eventually comes of your amends, in being willing to offer them you have taken your first step toward a fresh start.

The keyword is "Humbly". Humility may not be assured of an easy route, but it believes in a successful finish. Ask God to help us accept full responsibility for our mistakes. To forgive others and reach others to be forgiven for anything we did wrong when we were diving into our addictions and we didn't see the harm we caused. The change in ourselves comes first, but then we could be tempted to feel victimized while feeling responsible for our wrongdoings. In this episode, we discuss the fact that we should expect more from the Higher Power if we say "change me", rather than just asking to "change my circumstances". Understanding that a Power greater than myself does know and is working things out for good. To learn more about the 12 steps, visit or call:

One Step of the 12 steps is to admit to ourselves our own wrongdoings. However, As seen in other Steps, just admitting won't make your way to recover and if it does it will be a harder process. There 4 key points that we will focus on, after admitting to ourselves, we'll admit to God, to others, and we will confess the nature of our wrongs. This and the other 11 Steps will make you freed to find real change. Kemah Palms Recovery offers dynamic, life-changing addiction treatment options in Houston.

The moral inventory during Step Four of the 12 Steps is not intended as a beat-yourself-up or put-yourself-down exercise.  Our goal is to create an outline for participants. People who follow their own inner leading are far less likely to have substance abuse problems than are those who let others plan their lives for them; so you’ll find it far easier to stay clean once you have a firm, long-term, and passionate grasp on a vision that feels challenging yet achievable. The idea is to understand, as completely as possible, who you really are and where the “ideal you” got off track–so you can clarify what needs to be corrected, yes, but also so you can move forward into realizing your true potential as a force for good in the world.

"Let go and let God" during step 3 of the 12 steps. Having a relationship with God won't necessarily mean sitting back and relax while it happens. But it means that we admit that are things that fall out of our control. We can turn our will and lives over to the care of God and at the same time take full responsibility for our obligations on our way to healing. Changing habits take time and some people surrender in the middle of the path. Instead of seeing the opportunity a delay offers to practice mindfulness and plan the next steps, we seethe and swear as if that will speed things up. And instead of admitting that we’ve taken on too many responsibilities and something has to go, we redouble our efforts to fit it all in. Visit or call Kemah Palms Recovery to find more information from the 12 steps program available to help you walk to restoration.

Even though the road to sobriety is a long hard walk by any method, there’s a freeing aspect in recognizing your Higher Power as the source of help. Your own capabilities are not the limit of your resources. Your failures are not the death of your hope. In this Step, our goal is that you find that outside help that will help you walk through that transition to sobriety. A "Higher Power" could refer to as "God", "The Universe", or "The Force". However, we believe that people can search and embrace their "High Power" in their walk to restoration. Not a High Power as abusive, indulgent, or a Chief; but in a form of spiritual relationship for sanity and healing. For more information on the 12 Steps program from Kemah Palms Recovery, visit:

It’s worth noting that admitting “I am powerless and my life is unmanageable” is hard to say not only because it threatens to tear from us a habit that’s become a favorite coping strategy and an old friend. The admission strikes a hard blow at our pride, the inherent craving to be capable of perfecting ourselves. Admitting that at this moment we have no strength in ourselves and that we need help is the first step to recovery. Being honest to the point of realizing that we've gone too far and that we must take steps before is too late. Imagining our life getting away from what's been keeping us distant from others, broken our relationships, made us fail in our professional careers. We all make mistakes, sanity is available, and we have what it takes to recover you from addictions. All these will be discussed in Step 1 of the 12 Steps Program from Kemah Palms Recovery in Texas.

Some of the most common IV drugs used are heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, and ketamine. In southern and western regions, there is a higher use of stimulants. In the Midwest and Northeast, they use heroin and other opioids primarily. The most commonly injected drugs in Texas are heroin, speedballs (heroin/cocaine), and cocaine. 

IV drug use increases exposure to illness in a variety of ways. Needles & Syringes - Sharing or reusing needles and syringes can spread the Hepatitis C virus. Syringes with detachable needles increase this risk even more because they can retain more blood after being used than syringes with fixed needles. Preparation Equipment - Equipment, such as cookers, cottons, water, ties, and alcohol swabs, can quickly become contaminated during the drug preparation process. Fingers - Contact with infected blood can spread Hepatitis. Blood on fingers and hands can contaminate the injection site, cottons, cookers, ties, and swabs. And the last is Surfaces - Spreads when blood from an infected person contaminates a surface, and then that surface is reused by another person to prepare injection equipment.

With HIV and IV Drug Use, 1/10 new cases are attributed to injection drug use or M2M unprotected sex and injection drug use. Many don’t realize that HIV can survive in a used syringe for up to 42 days, depending on temperature and other factors. There is a 1/160 chance of transmitting HIV every time a person injects drugs.

When sharing needles, you risk contracting or transmitting HIV. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, injection drug use is the second leading cause of HIV infection for African American women and the third leading cause for African American men. Approximately 1 in 10 or 10% of HIV diagnoses among Hispanics/Latinos were attributed to injection drug use, including 3% of cases among MSM and IDU. White female IV drug users have the highest rate of HIV at 50%. 

There are a few viral infections associated with IV drug use. 

• HIV

• Hep A-D

• Co-Occurring Infections –

• HIV/Hepatitis

• Hepatitis/TB

• HIV/TB

• HIV/STI’s

• STI’s/Hep/TB

With HIV, many times, there are co-infections like syphilis, gonorrhea, and herpes. There are ways to protect yourself if you have an HIV-positive partner. Infection is less likely if the person with HIV is on a treatment called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART can produce an undetectable viral load with virtually no risk to HIV-negative partner. They also encourage them to choose less risky sex activities and use a new condom for every act. Risk is also reduced with HIV-negative partners taking PreP consistently; this only works to prevent infection of HIV.

How to treat someone with HIV and Substance Use Disorder. 

• Treat both concurrently

• Assessment /referral for SUD/MH treatment – most appropriate level  of care to support HIV diagnosis

• Harm reduction/MAT/SSP’s (syringe services programs)

• 6 in Texas –Dallas, Houston, Waco, Austin, Ft. Worth, Abilene

• PEP – Post-exposure prophylaxis

• Medication after exposure within 72 hours. Must take for 28 days. Not ongoing, emergency use only.

• PrEP – Pre-exposure prophylaxis

• Not positive, but high risk. Blocks the HIV virus from entering the cell. One pill daily for 30 days. Strict adherence for the best outcome. Not guaranteed

Why motivation, you might ask? Here are a few essential components to consider. Motivation is key to change; motivation can be changed. Motivation is evidence-based and relationship-focused. Motivation access existing strengths and has an emphasis on self-determination. 

The Transtheoretical Model…

The Stages of Change Model focuses on decision making and intentional change. People do not change behaviors quickly and change in behavior occurs continuously through a cyclical process. Different behavioral theories and constructs can be applied to various stages of the model where they may be most effective. The Transtheoretical Model is based on more than two decades of research; individuals move through a series of stages in the adoption of healthy behaviors or cessation of unhealthy ones. (Prochaska & Velicer, 1997). This presentation then reviews the Stages of Change Model. 

Assessing Readiness for Change Cont'd...

The clients need motivational support appropriate to their stage of change. Inappropriate interventions could cause additional treatment resistance. The clinician must accept the client's current position and avoid "getting too far ahead" of the client. Apply the correct counseling strategy for each stage of readiness. A great tool to assess the readiness to change is the university of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA). This is used at the start of treatment to measure the state of change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance. Clinicians may use the URICA to evaluate an individual's level of motivation for change and use this information to help guide treatment approaches. Here is a link for URICA screenings. https://habitslab.umbc.edu/urica/  

Here are some of the clinical applications. 

• Assess stage of change over the course of treatment

• Identify barriers to recovery and engagement 

• Develop and reinforce motivation for change

• Assist client in working toward self-identified goals

• Re-evaluate goals and change plan as needed

• Assist client with an accurate understanding of the problems and risks associated with their substance use

What is Motivational Interviewing? Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, person-centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. It is a way of working with people to assist them in accessing their intrinsic motivation to change behaviors that contradict their essential values and interfere with achieving their life goals. MI is both a philosophy and a set of strategic techniques. Motivational Interviewing aims to produce internally motivated change, mobilize the client's own change resources and move from developing motivation to strengthening motivation for change. 

The goals of Motivational Interviewing are to resolve ambivalence, avoid strengthening resistance, elicit self-motivational statements, enhance motivation and commitment to change, and assist the client in progressing through the stages of change.
