Name:Nancy, Jordan, Armita What shortcomings of the current treatment models outlined by Boyd et al. (2016) are discussed in the documentary? a. Boyd et al. presents multiple models for treatment of drug use such as the moral model, which suggests that those who have addictions to drugs are making bad choices and lack self control. The model claims that addicts are to not be trusted in regards to their thoughts and having control over their lives. There are several problems with this model, as it creates a very negative image of people with addictions and encourages discrimination and the marginalization of them. As well as how the barrier can be public or private treatments. This then results in less people seeking help due to the fear of being judged and criminalized. With the private and public treatment it can be a barrier due to the fact that the treatment proposed in the documentary can be very expensive for 9 months in Peru or for even 6 months it can be very expensive and so not many people can go to them.In the documentary in clear opposition to the moral model. This is clear based on the compassion and the approach of group therapy organized by Gabor Maté. 2.How does the proposed treatment model discussed by Gabor Maté in the documentary address some of these shortcomings? b. The treatment model discussed by Gabor Mate in the documentary shows us how the use of compassion and being heard by others, being able to share their story, and having the sense of community makes them want to stay in treatment. If we are looking at the Moral Model in the book Boyd et al. chapter 6 (2016) it is said individuals need “harsher treatment” and “the rules can be forced on to them and with the use of threats of dismissing them from treatment” this is going against of what the treatment model that Mate has proposed because there is no judgment, individuals are not seen as that their only issue is drugs and their drug addiction. They are able to talk about their story and what made them go to dkrugs, although Mate does not talk about it specifically but when talking about it being a public or a private again same with question one, having one that is not in Peru but it is similar and effective.
c. 3.Are there any shortcomings in existing models that the documentary fails to address? a. In the moral/medical model they discuss the lack of services outside of prison that achieve abstinence, the documentary fails to address the fact that traditional or ancient medicines have not been fully accepted within the western culture and medical practices. Because it is not fully accepted within the western culture and geographically it leads to a lack of this medical practice being available and funded outside of prisons. The documentary also discusses the issue of how narrow prescription based treatments are in western medicine, relating to there lack of acknowledgement in their acceptance of these traditional medicines. 4.What obstacles to adopting the model in the documentary might persist in Canadian politics?Think back to the debate in the House of Commons discussed earlier this term: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvu8R7EcyBU d. The treatment model is a compassionate approach which is a deeper and more inner healing type of therapy for those who have drug addictions. However a number of obstacles could prevent Canada from adapting it, which could be the fact that this treatment is far more extensive and costly. It may be seen as luxury or a vacation rather than justice or consequences to illegal actions. Another issue could be the controversy of forcing people to engage in treatment.
