The book is designed to help individuals learn about substance abuse and addictions in their life and make constructive changes to better manage their addictions that have taken hold of their life, relationships and career.
The book has been designed as a practical tool for helping professionals, such as therapists, counselors, psychologists, teachers, and group leaders. Depending on the role of the professional using The Substance Abuse & Recovery Workbook and the specific client or group’s needs, the sections can be used individually, combined or as part of an integrated curriculum, for a more comprehensive approach.
