Description
Just say no" just doesn't work for everyone. Presenting a powerful alternate to abstinence-only addictions treatments, this empathic, nonjudgmental resource has already helped many thousands set and meet their own goals for gaining control over alcohol and drugs. The science of harm reduction is translated into step-by-step strategies that readers can use to figure out which aspects of their habits may be harmful, what they would like to change, and how to put their intentions into action. Updated to reflect a decade's worth of research, the fully revised second edition is even more practical and reader friendly. It features additional concrete examples, engaging graphics, new worksheets (which purchasers can download and print for repeated use), "Self-Reflection" boxes, and more.

Advance Praise
Reviews for the first edition:
"This book is an excellent resource for mental health professionals and the clients they treat."— Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Book Reviews (J. Richard Crossfield in Volume 1, Number 12, 2005)
"This book makes a very important contribution to the literature....The book is practical, realistic, and systematic in its approach. The authors demonstrate a keen understanding of human nature and clearly understand the drug-abusing population....For all those treatment providers who have desired options beyond the traditional orientations of treatment, this book is highly recommended."
— Criminal Justice Review (Robert D. Hanser, Vol. 32, No. 3, September 2007)
"An all-around good book....Could conceivably be used as a supplemental text for a counseling strategies course. It would certainly be a useful reference book in a college or university library." — Journal of Teaching in the Addictions (Mike Taleff, Vol. 5, No. 1, April 25, 2007)
"Although written primarily for people who have a substance abuse problem, or for those affected by another's use, the book will also be of value to professionals working in this field....As someone with a number of years of experience working as an alcohol counsellor, I would certainly have found this book helpful, as I developed my own understanding of the impact of substances on the person and ways of working with the person to promote a more healthy lifestyle, and I feel sure many of my clients would have benefited from it as well." — Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal (Richard Brynat-Jefferies in Volume 4, Number 2, April 2004)
