This review is from: The Addictions Treatment Planner, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

Treatment planning is a pain and this makes life easy. The Addictions Planner expands the best selling Chemical Dependence Planner by including other addictions such as gambling, sexual addiction etc...I can do a plan using this book in 10 minutes. That used to take me over an hour. Thanks.
