This review is from: Improving Treatment Compliance: Counseling & Systems Strategies for Substance Abuse & Dual Disorders (Paperback)

In an age when we have seen addictions therapists blame the client for non-compliance, this book offers a way to think outside of the box and treat addiction as the disease that it really is. I highly recommend it.
