An update to the 2022 article by Jon Fisher
Having been on a journey of vast professional development over the past 18 months since writing the original article, I felt compelled to share my learning and reflections from developing the role of occupational therapy within an established substance use service. It is my hope that service users, somewhere, may benefit from sharing my experience with like-minded therapists.
I’m not here to make any judgments around the use of substances.
Contained below, I seek to share knowledge, experience and advice for Occupational Therapists, who may be in a position to support people with needs arising from their use of substances - regardless of practice setting, as addiction does not discriminate.
