Intensive Outpatient Program: What To Expect?

Friday, March 1, 2024

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) really picked up a lot of momentum in the 1980s when the cocaine epidemic was at an all-time high. Many working-class Whites were addicted to cocaine and wanted to get help without completely interrupting their lives and their income. In the 1990s managed care came about and helped to grow the reach of IOPs, allowing it to be offered to people experiencing things other than substance abuse. These programs are now offered to individuals who are at risk of hospitalization and when a typical outpatient treatment program isn’t enough.

How to Handle Cultural Differences in a Long-Distance Relationship

Wednesday, May 31, 2023

“All knowledge of cultural reality, as may be seen, is always knowledge from particular points of view.” Max Weber

Learn more about each other's culture and traditions:

- Don't be afraid to ask your partner about their culture, beliefs, and traditions. Not only will this help you understand them better, but it will also demonstrate that you genuinely want to learn more about them.

- Take time to research your partner's country of birth and residence, native language, customs, and history. You can read books or articles on these topics or watch movies/shows set in your partner's country.

- Share information about your own culture with your partner. This will allow you to get to know each other better and find common ground more easily.

If you make every effort to learn about each other's culture and traditions, you will gain a better understanding of your partner's outlook on life, habits, and preferences. This knowledge will help build mutual respect and strengthen the bond between you, even if you are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.

How to Handle Long-Term Conflicts in a Relationship and Seek Professional Help

“People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.”

Don Miguel Ruiz

Recognize the existence of a long-term conflict and its negative impact on your relationship.

Here are some ways to do it right:- Start an open conversation with your partner about how you feel.
- Reflect on your patterns of behavior and how you react to any conflicts.
- try to get the opinion of friends or family who have observed your quarrels with your partner and how you resolve conflict situations. If you ignore long-term conflicts for a while, they can quickly become one of the main reasons for divorce. If you immediately, at an early stage of the conflict, realize the importance and seriousness of the situation, you can work on finding the best solutions on your own or with professional help. Remember that seeking outside help doesn't mean you've failed as a couple - it means you're doing your best to preserve what's important to both of you - your relationship.
