This book is for the substance abuse counselor working in the field. It combines the newest research-based information on what actually causes recovery from addictive disease with a wealth of practical suggestions for the counselor on how to best use this information to improve treatment outcomes. This book describes for the practitioner the newest and most important clinical interventions in substance abuse treatment. Because it is written in an easy-to-read, non-technical manner, it can also be used as a "self help" book by the interested consumer.
