Clean & Sober: A Cognitive-Behavioral Approach to Treating Drug and Alcohol Addiction

This book provides a rich source of material for drug/alcohol workers and counselors to start conversations with groups or individuals that will lead to exciting changes in thinking, attitudes, and beliefs about lifestyles and behaviors. Based on cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, counselors will be able to ensure their work with clients meets growing calls for evidence-based practices. In particular, this books helps explore anti-social aspects of clients drug/alcohol use, which will be of use for all clients, but particularly those with criminal justice aspects to their cases. Experience with these modules has shown that clients tremendously enjoy discussing the material in relation to their own lives, whether arguing with the points made, agreeing with them, or having questions about them. Over time, real change starts to take shape in clients thinking, attitudes, and beliefs about substance abuse, their own behavior, and how they want to live their lives. Book has reproducible forms and includes a CD.
