Minnesota model

As alluded to at the beginning of this section, traditional Minnesota-model treatment merges the disease model with the spiritual model. Since within this model the disease has no known cure, a spiritual solution has taken on importance. Because of this, disease-model counselors refer people to 12-step support groups for continued recovery. Some treatment centers even have spiritual counselors who work with clients on spiritually related goals listed in the treatment plan. This arrangement provides a great service to the many people with drug problems who have spiritual doubts or problems. However, it has been my experience that not everyone who enters treatment feels he or she has a spiritual problem.

As mentioned in Chapter 1, treatment success is defined differently depending on which model of recovery and treatment you believe (also see Chapter 5). For example, in traditional Minnesota-model treatment modalities, treatment success is defined by a period of sustained abstinence. This period of abstinence is... 

Just as with treatment, the appearance of aftercare may vary according to the therapeutic model. For example, Minnesota-model aftercare usually operates in groups that meet weekly. The format of these weekly sessions usually involves psychoeducation around relapse prevention, often related to an issue germane to specific members of the group. Sometimes the psychoeducation topic is predetermined by the outline of a relapse prevention manual (see Chapter 7). 

Relapse prevention, as mentioned, is compatible with a variety of treatment models. For example, many Minnesota-model facilities have incorporated aspects of cognitive behavioral relapse prevention into their treatment and aftercare programs. There have been efforts to combine the relapse prevention model with disease-model instructions to maintain abstinence after treatment is completed. Minnesota-model relapse prevention is generally begun late in treatment and then continued into aftercare. There are numerous books and manuals that have incorporated relapse prevention methods into this particular model. 

Unlike the federal government, several states have altered their biomass incentives to enhance the positive impact on rural communities. The Minnesota experience, often called the Minnesota Model, is instructive. 

The disease concept is associated with Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.Furthermore, the most widely emulated approach to treatment, the Minnesota Model developed by the Hazeldon Foundation, incorporates the disease concept of alcoholism/addiction in its treatment program.

Single crystals of free lipid A or LPS are as yet not available. Therefore, the most promising approach to obtain molecular models is to perform theoretical calculations. After the chemical structures of enterobacterial lipid A had been elucidated, this methodology was successfully applied with heptaacyl S. minnesota lipid A (220) and hexaacyl E. coli Re LPS (221). As an example, Fig. 13 shows the atomic model of the E. coli lipid A molecule, as calculated by Kastowsky et al. (221) using energy-minimization techniques. 

Table 1 shows the twin correlations and model fitting heritability from Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart (MISTRA) for ten factors derived from a factor analysis of two widely used inventories, the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (Hansen Campbell, 1985) and the Jackson Vocational Interest Survey (Jackson, 1977).
