This model applies specifically to individuals who have used mood-altering substances in a problematic way. It parallels the developmental processes of childhood, adolescence, and adulthood as the individual transitions from using the mood-altering substances through ongoing recovery. The four periods are: (1) Drinking: active use of mood-altering substances; (2) Transition: initiation of abstinence from the use of mood-altering substances, focus on substance increases as individual accepts their powerlessness over its use, may increase dependence on others; (3) Early recovery age: shift from dependence to independence coupled with increasing awareness of self are realized, emotional awareness and attention to the self grows; and (4) Ongoing recovery: characterized by complexity of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are consistently congruent with individual’s recovery identity.
