About the Course

Using a systems approach to alcohol treatment, the authors give specific suggestions for helping clients create a lifestyle in which non drinking feels more rewarding than a drinking lifestyle. Topics include marital therapy, job counseling, and relapse prevention. If you think systemically, you may find this a refreshing alternative to more traditional approaches.

This course is based on the book, Clinical Guide to Alcohol Treatment: The Community Reinforcement Model 1995 Edition created by By Robert Meyers, M.S. & Jane Smith, Ph.D.
