In the newly revised Second Edition of Helping Men Recover: A Program
for Treating Substance Abuse, distinguished clinician, author, and
consultant Stephanie S. Covington delivers a gender-responsive,
trauma-informed treatment program for men suffering from substance
abuse. The book is modeled after the widely used and evidence-based
women's curriculum, Helping Women Recover, and is grounded the latest
research, theory, and clinical practice.
In the book, readers will find a facilitator's guide and a participant's
workbook, as well as a step-by-step manual containing the theory,
eighteen-session structure, and content required to run effective
groups. The material is designed to allow male patients to process,
record, and refer to their therapeutic experience.
Helping Men Recover also includes:
- New lectures, sessions, and patient exercises offered throughout the
text
- User-friendly and self-instructive materials designed to increase
accessibility
- An effective four-module approach that addresses the self,
relationships, sexuality, and spirituality
An indispensable resource for drug and alcohol counselors, mental health
professionals, and program administrators for outpatient, residential,
and community-based treatment centers, this latest edition of the
celebrated book will remain the go-to manual for men's addiction
treatment.
