Publisher's Synopsis
Millions of people put their faith in the Twelve Steps every day. As a treatment provider, however, you need more than faith: you need proof to show accountability. Research proves that belonging to a Twelve Step Fellowship group increases the chances of long-term recovery from addictions and is also helpful with treating compulsive behaviors and mental health disorders. Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) is an evidence-based approach that together with active involvement in a Twelve Step group helps individuals succeed as they move from treatment into recovery.Maximize the effectiveness of The Twelve Step Facilitation Outpatient Program. The easy-to-use facilitator guide by Joseph Nowinski, PhD, is available as a separate component so professionals at your facility can have their own copy.The Facilitator Guide has an introduction that includes a summary of the main points covered in the Twelve Step Facilitation Handbook, step-by-step facilitation instructions for the program facilitator (including suggestions on what the facilitator should say), DVD with integrated videos to enhance comprehension, and a CD-ROM that includes checklists for the sessions (which serve a dual role as measures of treatment fidelity).Video includes Spanish subtitles.
