About the Book
There are reasons that the newly updated Relapse Prevention Workbook has been a best-selling resource for professional substance-abuse counselors. It helps them in helping their clients to stay off alcohol and other drugs. Recovery, of course, takes a great deal of effort on the part of a client, and this workbook helps to motivate such effort. It reinforces support without condemnation and encourages self-discipline that is necessary to prevent relapse. Substance abusers will learn to recognize and work toward fulfilling their social and psychological needs.
Benefiting from thousands of successful trials, the Relapse Prevention Workbook has been updated again to take advantage this vast experience. The workbook has been made even more readable and usable. |
