The first general consumer book ever on the powerful, award-winning,
scientifically proven new system of intervention that is turning the
recovery field on its head.
Historically there have been few options available for individuals
seeking help for treatment-resistant loved ones suffering from substance
abuse. Co-author Dr. Robert Meyers spent ten years developing a
treatment program that helps concerned significant others improve the
quality of their lives and learn how to make treatment an attractive
option for their partners who are substance abusers.
Get Your Loved One Sober describes this multi-faceted program that
uses supportive, non-confrontational methods to engage substance abusers
into treatment. Called Community Reinforcement and Family Training
(CRAFT), the program uses scientifically validated behavioral principles
to reduce the loved one's substance use and to encourage him or her to
seek treatment. Equally important, CRAFT also helps loved ones reduce
personal stress and introduce meaningful, new sources of satisfaction
into their life.
