A hands-on homework toolkit for mental health practitioners treating clients with substance use disorders
In the newly revised sixth edition of the Addiction Treatment Homework Planner, a team of distinguished clinicians delivers a practical and effective resource for clients who wish to keep their therapy and recovery efforts front-of-mind and incorporate them into their daily lives. The activities and homework contained within will assist clients–and the clinicians treating them–to collect real-time data, enabling practitioners to address relevant issues quickly and collaboratively.
This Homework Planner is designed as a companion manual to the sixth editions of the Addiction Treatment Planner and Addiction Progress Notes Planner. It focuses on client-centered, assessment-driven, evidence-based treatment in the field of substance use disorder psychotherapy. Each included exercise is designed to:
* Emphasize the importance of client motivation and increase the knowledge, awareness, and insight of people moving through the addiction recovery process
* Incorporate a skills component for further instruction in therapy or at home
* Be completed or processed within individual sessions or – where appropriate – within group therapy sessions and at various levels of care
An indispensable, hands-on resource for counselors, therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals engaged in the treatment of patients with substance use disorders, the Addiction Treatment Homework Planner is a time-saving tool with the potential to improve patient outcomes and increase client engagement.
