Publisher's Synopsis
Can you prove that your Twelve Step treatment model is evidence-based? The Twelve Step Facilitation Outpatient Program by Joseph Nowinski is the only manualized version of the model proven effective in Project MATCH. This study found Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) as effective as other successful treatment modalities.This 12-session evidence-based outpatient treatment program is for clients with substance abuse disorders. Its primary goal is to facilitate active involvement in a Twelve Step fellowship such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. The Twelve Step Facilitation Outpatient Program is designed for one-to-one individual facilitation sessions, as well as group treatment. It can be used for clients who have never been exposed to a Twelve Step program as well as those who have already been in previous treatment or have had voluntary involvement in AA or NA. The Twelve Step Facilitation Outpatient Program works in community-based, corrections, private practice, and mental health settings.How it worksThe program consists of the following components:The core program Four sessions: assessment, acceptance, surrender, and getting active in AA or NAThe elective program Six sessions: genograms, enabling, people-places-routines, emotions, moral inventories, and relationshipsThe conjoint program (for patients who are in relationships with partners who are willing to participate in sessions) Two topics: enabling and detachingTermination sessionExcept for the first and last sessions, each session lasts about 60 minutes.Materials include3-ring binder with the facilitator guide and hard copies of reproducible handouts and checklistsCD-ROM containing handouts, checklists, and research information that supports the use of evidence-based materialsIntroduction to Twelve Step Groups DVDTwelve Step Facilitation handbookSet of 25 medallions.
