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.Adapted from the Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) program, Twelve Step Facilitation for Co-occurring Disorders (TSF-COD) offers specialized sessions that address the unique needs of those with both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and PTSD.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.This 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). This package of 3 Facilitator Guides does not come with the DVD and CD-ROM.
