Publisher's Synopsis
Updated to meet DMS-5 classifications, this flexible program draws from cognitive-behavioural, experiential, and Twelve Step approaches to help clients achieve lifelong recovery. Sessions can be easily customised for specific client populations or treatment tracks. The Core Program is made up of twelve unique sessions to help clients address life issues that are central to achieving successful recovery. Session topics are:
- Definitions, Terms, and Self-Assessment.
- Alcohol and Other Drug Education.
- Triggers, Cravings, and Avoiding Relapse.
- Planning for Sobriety.
- Alcohol and Tobacco.
- Spirituality.
- Sex, Alcohol, and Other Drugs.
- Stress and Emotional Well-Being.
- Skills for Reducing Stress.
- Negative Emotions.
- Anger and Communication.
- Relapse Prevention Basics.
The Facilitator's Guide has been designed to help you deliver the Living in Balance treatment program to multiple clients at the same time. It provides both the philosophical context for the curriculum and the practical, session-specific information needed to lead and assist clients in the recovery process.
