Making Mandated Addiction Treatment Work

This resource for practitioners describes an evidence-based approach to community-based addiction treatment. Particular attention is paid to addressing the needs of clients for whom addiction treatment has been mandated by the courts. Wallace (health and behavior studies, Columbia U.) explains how to tailor interventions to individual clients and discusses the correct timing for their delivery across the phases of treatment. Other topics include (for example) overcoming negative countertransference, conducting the initial assessment, and creating positive long-term treatment outcomes.
