5.0 out of 5 stars Saves tons of time, January 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chemical Dependence Treatment Planner (with TS Upgrade) (PracticePlanners) (Paperback)

I'd rather help my patients than fight with managed care companies about the OTR's. This little book not only gave me a few new ideas about treatment techniques, but saved me tons of time in preparing treamtne plans.

This book is great for counseling those suffering from addiction. It really helps put into the words what symptoms the patient is exhibiting, and actually gives the counselor many options for assignments. I found this book very useful in treatment.
