About this manual
This manual provides substance abuse treatment professionals with a step-by-step curriculum for leading a 10-part workshop designed to reinforce key recovery concepts. The emphasis is on building and enhancing support networks for recovery in the community (12-step, family, friends) and on helping clients improve social skills, problem-solving, and perceptions of self-efficacy that foster recovery maintenance. The manual provides an easy-to-follow format for leading each 2-hour group session, including lecture notes, exercises and activities, discussion questions, and handouts. Topics covered include:
- Maintaining recovery efforts
- Social networks and recovery
- Finding a support group
- Family issues
- Communication and coping skills
- Managing stress and anger
- Planning for the future
