Building and maintaining connection is essential in addictions treatment. This presentation will look at the development of attachment styles and the role this plays in substance use disorders. We will explore early object relations development and the unremembered assumptions that impact relationships and can lead to favoring substance use over intimate human connection. Lastly, we will look at using the client/clinician relationship itself to help a client move towards recovery, including goals, pitfalls, rupture and repair, transference and countertransference.
