Learning Objectives
  • Show how “Resource Accessing” empowers clients.
  • Show how the DeTUR protocol interfaces with EMDR AIP model.
  • Describe and demonstrate each step of the DeTUR protocol.



The DeTUR Model

Desensitizing Triggers and Urge Reprocessing (DeTUR) is a new approach based on the information processing model of EMDR and is used with EMDR as an integral part of a comprehensive plan for the treatment of addictions and dysfunctional behaviors.  This approach consists of a comprehensive treatment plan including history, assessment, and diagnosis, detoxification (if necessary), medications, aligning internal and external support resources, group or family therapy, creating realistic and achievable treatment goals, individual therapy and relapse prevention.

Issues Treated
  • Alcohol
  • Nicotine
  • Cocaine
  • Crack
  • Methamphetamine
  • Marijuana
  • Heroin
  • Weight Problems
  • Overeating
  • Prescription Drugs
  • Gambling
  • Shoplifting
  • Sex
  • Domestic Violence

Target the Urges

By targeting the triggers that bring out the urge to use and then desensitizing these urges, the individual gains in ego strength and learns to replace the dysfunctional behavior with a more positive and functional lifestyle.

Addresses the Underlying Core Trauma

Individual therapy with EMDR assesses a client’s specific needs and enables “reprocessing” of the core, underlying issues contributing to the presenting problems.

Relapse Prevention

Once the core traumatic issues have been reprocessed and dealt with, the triggers are no longer able to generate the anxiety that is attached to the urge to use and relapse becomes less likely.

 

Components of the DeTUR protocol
  • Resource Accessing
  • Positive Goal
  • Positive State
  • Identify triggers
  • Identify LOU (Level of Urge)
  • Desensitize triggers & urges
  • Install positive state
  • Future template
  • Closure
