UNDERSTAND THE IDEA
Reconnect before turning a setback into an identity.
A return to use is an event to understand in context. Reviewing changes in support, access, stress, and cues may help a person revise continuing care. Shame and all-or-nothing conclusions can make it harder to reconnect with help.
Facilitation lens: Focus on a prompt care connection and one practical adjustment. The activity does not assess medical stability or manage overdose, intoxication, or withdrawal.

Fictional example
A member wants a different level of support but is unsure how to ask.
Open with choice — 3 minutes
Explain the purpose, privacy limits, and the option to observe, use fiction, adapt, or pass. Check access needs and group readiness; do not promise absolute confidentiality.
Meet the fictional case — 4 minutes
A member wants a different level of support but is unsure how to ask. Ask what is known, what is assumed, and what the person in the case wants.
Practice: Planning workshop — 26 minutes
Create a short collaborative agenda for reviewing treatment fit after a return to use. In pairs or small groups, create two possible plans for the fictional case. Compare access, effort, likely tradeoffs, and consent. Choose one reversible trial with a backup and a review point; allow an observing role.
Reflect and compare — 4 minutes
What question belongs at the start of the review? Ask what fits, what does not, and what external conditions or supports affect the options. No personal disclosure is required.
Close and integrate — 3 minutes
Invite an optional observation, support request, or small next step. Passing is welcome. Agree how to revisit questions and seek appropriate help outside the exercise.
Practice output
A feasible plan with a support, a backup, and a review question.
Scope and adaptation
Use ordinary or fictional examples, not graphic substance-use stories or cue exposure. No competitive abstinence scoring, forced disclosure, or required pathway. These plans do not manage intoxication, overdose, withdrawal, or medication changes; follow individualized care and appropriate medical assessment.
Offer reading aloud, typing, drawing, pointing, or observation. Avoid mandatory movement, eye contact, touch, and body focus.
