Is your addiction taking control of your life? This book provides an integrative, seven-step program to help you finally overcome drug and alcohol addiction, once and for all.

If you struggle with addiction, seeking treatment is a powerful, positive first step toward eventual recovery. But gaining an understanding of the causes of addiction—such as feelings of helplessness or loss of control—is also crucial for recovery. In this book, addiction expert Suzette Glasner-Edwards offers evidence-based techniques fusing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based relapse prevention to help you move past your addictive behaviors.

On the long road to addiction recovery, you need as many tools as possible to help you stay sober and reach your destination. That’s why this is the first book to combine research-proven motivational techniques, CBT, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you create your own unique recovery plan. The book can be used on its own or as an adjunct to rehab or therapy. It also makes a wonderful resource for loved ones and professionals treating addiction.

If you're ready to take that important first step toward recovery, this book can help you beat your addiction and get back to living a full, meaningful life.

PRAISE

“A cutting-edge, comprehensive, and interactive approach to the science of addiction recovery, written with great respect and compassion for the reader. Anyone struggling with the demons of addiction will find real help here, and hope.”
—Terri Cheney, author of the New York Times bestseller Manic
The Addiction Recovery Skills Workbook is an excellent translation of modern science into practical skills development. From explaining the basic brain changes associated with the development of addiction to laying out a systematic path to behavioral change and recovery, Glasner-Edwards has taken the very best of addiction science and turned it into common sense and step-by-step instructions. I think this workbook will be as important for families and friends of addicted individuals as for those affected directly. Either way, this is a powerful and practical tool to aid recovery.”
A. Thomas McLellan, founder and chairman of the board of the Treatment Research Institute, and former deputy director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy
“In creating The Addiction Recovery Skills Workbook, Glasner-Edwards has developed a resource that is at the cutting edge of recovery from addiction. In a respectful, direct, and clear way, she provides readers with key tools necessary to build the motivation to change, learn the skills needed to change, and apply those skills to achieving and maintaining change. Glasner-Edwards does a wonderful job of integrating the three most critical innovations in evidence-based approaches to treatment in the last fifty years: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement, and mindful observation. There has been excellent research in all three areas demonstrating their value in aiding individuals in achieving their goals to be clean and sober, and Glasner-Edwards has created a resource that will be a wonderful tool for anyone addressing substance use problems. I anticipate this workbook will become a standard in the field.”
