Sugar is the gateway drug and craving management, relapse training, and relapse prevention are extremely important for sugar addicts. The very early exposure to this psychoactive substance and the constant exposure from the food industry’s aggressive marketing makes craving management and relapse prevention is very important. Professionals need to be trained, certified and licensed to perform the therapeutic and motivational diagnostic process. Training, which is on-line, involves an introduction to the subject of addiction, the disease concept according to ASAM’s definition (latest versions 2011 and 2019), how it’s classified and diagnosed according to internationally agreed standards, and provides trainees with analytical skills as well as the ability to conduct therapeutic interviews with clients as part of the evaluation process. Once trained to use the diagnostic tool SUGAR®, health professionals are able to offer the results of the evaluation in an ICD-10 or DSM-5 grounded summary of symptoms of addiction, which can be provided to the client and which in turn provides a scientifically based reasoning and evidence for a diagnosis and a proposed treatment protocol. The treatment protocol I have developed, Holistic Medicine for Addiction, HMA®, is built on the CENAPS model, among other tools.
