This practical guidebook is designed to support staff and administrators of substance abuse treatment programmes in their efforts to comply with the 1995 complete revision of accreditation standards by the Joint Commission on Accreditation on Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), in the United States. The new standards encompass a broad scope of areas from patient care to organizational elements. The authors thoroughly explain the accreditation standards, offer clear suggestions for programmes and centres to meet those standards, and illustrate specifically what happens in the accreditation process.

Sage Publications, Inc.

This eminently practical guide presents an empirically supported approach for treating people with substance abuse problems and their spouses or domestic partners. Behavioral couples therapy (BCT) explicitly focuses on both substance use and relationship issues, and is readily compatible with 12-step approaches. Provided are all the materials needed to introduce BCT; implement a recovery contract to support abstinence; work with clients to increase positive activities, improve communication, and reduce relapse risks; and deal with special treatment challenges. Appendices include a session-by-session treatment manual and 70 reproducible checklists, forms, and client education posters. The large-size format and lay-flat binding facilitate photocopying and enhance the book's clinical utility.
