THE BESTSELLING TREATMENT PLANNING SYSTEM FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
A practical toolkit for mental health practitioners treating clients with substance use disorders
Now in its sixth edition, the Addiction Treatment Homework Planner is a practical and effective resource for clients who want to keep their therapy and recovery efforts front-of-mind while not in session, and who wish to incorporate their learning into their daily lives. The activities and homework contained in the book will assist clients--and the clinicians who treat them--in the collection of real-time data and enable practitioners to address relevant issues collaboratively and quickly.
Designed as a companion manual to the sixth editions of the Addiction Treatment Planner and the Addiction Progress Notes Planner, this book focuses on client-centered, evidence-based, and assessment-driven treatment in the field of substance use disorder psychotherapy.
The Addiction Treatment Homework Planner, 6th edition includes:
- Material emphasizing the importance of client motivation and improving the knowledge, awareness, and insight of people moving through the addiction recovery process
- A skills component for further instruction for clients in therapy or at home
- Assignments designed to be completed or processed within individual sessions or--when appropriate--within group therapy sessions at various levels of care
An essential, time-saving resource for counselors, psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals treating patients with substance use disorders, the Addiction Treatment Homework Planner is a therapy-enhancing tool with the potential to improve client outcomes and increase patient engagement.
