This volume provides treatment planning guidelines and an array of pre-written treatment plan components (behavioural definitions, long-term goals, short objectives, therapeutic interventions and DSM-IV diagnoses) for chemical dependency problems. It includes chemical abuse, chemical dependence and chemically-induced psychological disturbances such as delirium and mood disorders. The book also covers behavioural, personality and environmental factors which can have a negative effect on recovery, such as impulse control, personality disorders, intimate relationship problems and social stressors. Clinicians who treat clients with substance abuse problems in both in-patient and out-patient settings should find this book useful.
