The Complete Paperwork Resource for Treating Clients with Addictions

All of the requisite forms addiction treatment professionals
need–a crucial time-saver in today’s healthcare system

Treating addiction in today’s healthcare environment means that
mental health professionals must manage an imposing amount of
paperwork. Government and private grant funding, insurance and
benefits programs, regulatory compliance, and the need for data on
treatment effectiveness (evidence-based treatment) all require
proper documentation. If these forms are missing, the results can
range from bureaucratic headaches to problems serious enough to
close a practice.

Now fully updated and revised, The Addiction Counselor’s
Documentation Sourcebook: The Complete Paperwork Resource for
Treating Clients with Addictions, Second Edition provides the
most useful and current forms for accurate and comprehensive
documentation and record keeping. These ready-to-use forms will
save you and your practice hours that would otherwise be spent
creating and collating them, freeing you to devote more energy to
the important matters of treatment. A companion CD-ROM includes all
documents in Word? format so you can customize them according to
the unique needs of your practice.

Covering every aspect of mental health practice for addiction
treatment, this fully revised Second Edition also includes:

* Critical forms updated to help providers achieve HIPAA, JCAHO,
and CARF compliance

* Unique handouts, exercises, and facilitator guides for use in
individual and group therapy

* A comprehensive CD-ROM featuring all forms in Word format, as
well as Power Point slideshows for every psychoeducational
presentation in the book

The Addiction Counselor’s Documentation Sourcebook, Second
Edition is an essential timesaving resource that allows any
professional practicing or working in the field of addiction
treatment the freedom to give more of their time and energy to the
