SAMSHA (2014) states counselors need to understand drug and recovery cultures, which are subcultures. Subcultures are cultures within traditional cultures. Shifting cultures means forming new identities. Reality therapy emphasizes client choice and responsibility (Wubbolding, 2015), which can increase self-efficacy and has been proven to decrease ambivalence (Giodano et al., 2016). Participants will develop an understanding of what drug and recovery cultures are, review the basics of reality therapy, and explore how reality therapy techniques can decrease ambivalence to recovery culture.
