At CMC, we recognize that the treatment resources across this country are often limited and all too often not high quality or evidence based. Until the treatment landscape changes (which thankfully it is starting to do), we want as many people as possible to have access to evidence-based resources, regardless of their ability to pay, or where they live. As such, CMC has embraced the internet as one way we can help people gain access to high quality resources. We are always looking to expand our digital resources, and encourage you to stay connected with us by facebook or by signing up for our newsletter. We are constantly updating and posting (sharing) great resources as we come across them. We hope you find them helpful.
Revised and expanded, this tenth anniversary edition of Beyond Addiction eschews the theatrics of interventions and tough love to show family and friends how they can use kindness, positive reinforcement, and motivational and behavioral strategies to help their loved ones overcome addiction problems and compulsive behaviors. Drawing on decades of collective research and clinical experience at the most progressive addiction treatment center in the United States, the authors present the best practical advice science has to offer—now updated with the latest research, case examples, and resources.
With a new foreword by Quit Like a Woman author Holly Whitaker, Beyond Addiction is CMC’s way of giving families, friends, and loved ones hope that they can help someone they care about change their substance use. Through guided exercises, examples, and tips for navigating the system, readers can tap the transformative power of relationships for positive change and discover the best treatment option for their loved one. And have hope: this seminal guide is designed not only to help someone change but also to help someone want to change.
