Mr. Dale Yagiela recently retired as Executive Director of Growth Works Inc., an outstanding substance use treatment agency for adolescents and young adults in southeastern Michigan. Growth Works staff members provide treatment services for about 200 individuals, ranging in age from 13-60 years of age, whose drugs of choice among others include alcohol, cannabis, heroin, and prescription drugs. Dale holds a Master’s degree in Community Development and Education from UM. He is a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in the State of Michigan. Dale is well known as a dedicated therapist, an expert in the field of substance abuse, and as a tough, straight talking, advocate for children and adolescents.

Mr. Yagiela will briefly outline the history of treatment, discuss what traditionally was addressed and the various models, the notion of "recovery systems of care", and how we aid and support continued recovery, instead of focusing on pathology. He will address medically assisted treatment, the use of peer recovery support, the new intervention and detox model they are developing with St. Mary, the public safety departments in western Wayne County, the role of trauma in SUD, the need to treat it, and the need to sustain recovery engagement for five years following intervention.

This is the last of a six-lecture series. The subject is Faces of Addiction.
