An Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) Self-Help Book Recommendation.

Winner of the 4Th International Beverly Hills Book Awards in the category of Addiction & Recovery!

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.

“A cutting-edge, comprehensive, and interactive approach to the science of addiction recov-ery, 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 theNewYorkTimesbestsellerManic

“TheAddictionRecoverySkillsWorkbookis an excellent translation of modern science into prac-tical skills development. From explaining the basic brain changes associated with the devel-opment 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 power-ful 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 creatingTheAddictionRecoverySkillsWorkbook, 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.”

—JohnR. McQuaid, PhD, professor of clinical psychology at the University of California, San Francisco; associate chief of mental health for clinical administration at the San Francisco VA Medical Center; and coauthor ofPeacefulMind

“As one of America’s most knowledgeable addiction scientists, Suzette Glasner-Edwards writes with clarity and authority about the state of the art of treatment for addiction, a dev-astating disease that affects millions of people and families. Glasner-Edwards explains the complex science of addiction in terms that everyone can understand. Most important, she provides guidance to help the afflicted overcome this illness. This book will help end the stigma of addiction and it will save lives.”

—DavidSheff, journalist andNewYorkTimesbest-selling author ofCleanand the memoirBeautifulBoy

“In this self-care book, Glasner-Edwards provides a much-needed addition to the substance abuse treatment field by providing a hopeful and highly accessible workbook for people struggling with substance abuse and addiction. This book explains the mystery of addiction and how to communicate with addiction treatment providers. It offers a range of interactive evidence-based therapy tools and techniques to achieve self-directed behavioral change. It integrates several important approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, giving individuals powerful tools to tackle this devastating illness.”

—KarenMiotto, MD, clinical professor in the department of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and director of the UCLA Addiction Medicine Clinic

“I have worked in clinical addictions research for over fifteen years, and I can honestly say that this is no ordinary self-help workbook. Glasner-Edwards has expertly integrated the powerful combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement, and mindfulness into an easily digestible treatment package that speaks directly to the person with an addictive disorder. It does more than just present a how-to guide to the implementation of these key, cutting-edge treatment strategies, however. This workbook also contains clear advice as to how, when, and where to ask for help; provides a framework for what is to be expected in the recovery process; and contextualizes the treatment strategies with other traditional addictions programs (12-step, medication, etc.). These particular inclusions mean that the workbook cuts across traditional, well-known barriers people report when considering addictions treatment, such as the stigma and mystery about what might happen, and problems with inconsistent, incoherent care. By integrating solutions that run across a range of lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, social network enhancement, communica-tion) and common comorbidities (e.g., depression, anxiety), this workbook also stands to be personally relevant to anybody concerned about their substance use, at any stage of severity. By hitting all of these targets sensitively, respectfully, and comprehensively in this work-book, Glasner-Edwards has provided a real service to the addictions community. I am going to recommend this to all of my clinical colleagues!”

—FrancesKay-Lambkin, associate professor at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, Australia

Foreword

remember in the 1980s being told by a seasoned counselor that “clients” should I not be educated about addiction, because it would allow them to feel like they could understand and “control” their drug use and this would interfere with theirsurrendering to their disease. For many years, addicted individuals in treatment programs were repeatedly told that they should shut up and just do what they were told. More recently, we hear celebrity endorsements for luxury treatment programs and quasi-religions which suggest that if you simply pay lots of money to these orga-nizations and follow their science fiction or their narcissistically-inspired formulas, it is very possible to become “cured” and avoid the hard work of recovery. This is an attractive and seductive message, but an inaccurate one—it creates false hopes, but great profit margins. Both of these messages have been detrimental to the recovery efforts of many people. In the development of effective, evidence-based treatments for people with health problems, including substance use disorders, a few fundamental principles have emerged. First, it is important to educate individuals with scientifically accurate information about their illnesses and about the steps they can take to improve their health. Second, it is important to empower these individuals to take action and become active participants in improving and maintaining their own health. Third, it is critical that information is conveyed to these individuals in a respectful way, not by talking down to them or being preachy or judgmental. Finally, to get people to use treatment materials, those materials need to be relatable, interesting, and realistic. All of these principles are important in giving people the tools they need to improve their health and make positive changes in their lives. The Addiction Recovery Workbookreflects a sophisticated knowledge of how to effec-tively communicate to people struggling with substance use disorders. The workbook has been developed with a keen awareness of the scientific literature on the nature of addiction and the information and skills that are useful in helping people to stop
