Motivating substance abusers to enter treatment

About this book

"The volume begins with a concise overview of Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT). Chapters then take the clinician step by step through planning and delivering an array of well-tested motivational, behavioral, and cognitive interventions. Copious case examples illustrate ways to teach CSOs to change their own behavior toward their loved ones in order to reward sober behavior, discourage substance use, and ultimately help get the substance abusers into treatment. In the process, CRAFT also offers therapeutic benefits to the CSOs themselves, imparting valuable skills for problem solving and self-care. Geared to the complexities of real-world practice, the book includes guidelines for dealing with domestic violence risks and for troubleshooting a range of problems in treatment. Special features include useful, reproducible client materials and a summary of the growing evidence base for this time- and cost-effective approach." "The first complete guide to implementing CRAFT, this book provides indispensable knowledge and skills for therapists and counselors of any orientation, with or without addiction treatment expertise. It serves as a uniquely informative text for graduate-level courses in addiction treatment, psychotherapy, family therapy, or direct practice."--BOOK JACKET.
