The Substance Abuse & Recovery Workbook - Self-Assessments, Exercises & Educational Handouts (Mental Health & Life Skills Workbook Series)

Great workbook for someone incarcerated. When your in jail your not allowed many privileges and my friend was so thankful to receive this in the mail. Helpful in their recovery and to pass the time. My loved one uses it daily.

So handy to have as a therapist

Good SA treatment resource. The product description was accurate. The book itself is well organized. The material is well suited to SA outpatient groups or individual SA clients. I read at least one review that was concerned about the publisher prohibition concerning photocopying of pages. I wrote the publisher to request permission to photocopy, and they quickly, and graciously, gave me permission to photocopy the material for SA outpatient groups.

The product description is misleading. It states that it is "all reproducible" making it seem like you can make copies for your clients. It is not reproducible. The copy write clearly states this in the front of the book.As far as the exercises, they seemed okay. Simple, maybe a little too simple. But clear and very easy to understand. I give it a low score due to the false product description.

Every page is a work sheet. Topics are simple and relevant and patients of all ages enjoy the easy to understand and informative format

Book allows for serious introspect and understanding with easy ability of self-help in personal journey of recovery. I recommend for anyone who is serious about recovery and getting to know themselves again.

I have used this workbook when working with both adults and teens. The work is easy to do and touches on areas that just talking alone may miss.

I’ve ordered many workbooks for my substance use groups that I facilitate at work and this is by far the worst one I’ve purchased and it was also the most expensive! First off it’s only about 100 pages and the print is so big that if it was a normal print size it would have maybe taken up 20 pages total. Most of it is blank lines and one very basic question. This would never work with my adults in the outpatient rehab that I work with. I will be returning. This “workbook” was such a disappointment.
