PROGRAM FEATURES
Treatment Approach
DEWY has a bio-psycho social orientation that is built around the trans-theoretical model of change (Prochaska and Diclementi). This Model conceptualizes changes as the process of moving from pre-contemplation (I don't have a problem) to contemplation (maybe I have a problem) to action, and then on to maintenance. A relapse is viewed as a predictable aspect of the change process and can occur during any stage in the change process.
