Substance Abuse Treatment versus a Prison Sentence

In the first program, it will be an introduction for all drug abuse clients. After each program meeting, clients must at minimum attend group therapy for two hours, thus, there will be at least 10 participants. Clients will be introduced to a positive energy environment. Thus, positive energy will allow clients a forum to discuss problem issues. For example, clients who are addicted and instructed by the criminal justice department, often times present unique challenges. Challenges come by way of the client’s inability to distinguish between abstinence and sobriety. Therefore, one (clients) must be educated about the disease of addiction; thus, addiction education can be facilitated through group therapy. The following overview will attempt to provide a reasonable rationale for the importance of substance abuse group therapy and the necessity of providing a positive energy environment.

Description of Appeals

In the case of the above topic, using the appeals process of argumentative writing can help to foster the rationale and understanding of the writer’s point-of-view. For example, hypothetically speaking the use of ethos would might be structured in the following order: “As a Law Enforcement professional I am qualified to instruct you that a positive energy environment will generate successful results”. In addition, one might also argue using pathos: “If you don’t hurry and provide a positive energy environment situations are going to get rough, can’t you see how dangerous this could end up. Lastly, there could also be a good use for logos: “The statistics show that group participants are more inclined to self-disclose in a positive energy environment”.
