SUBSTANCE ABUSE COUNSELING, 6th Edition, is at the cutting edge of the addiction field, combining a focus on the most current empirical studies with a firm belief that clients must be treated with a collaborative and respectful approach. These core values lay the basis for individualized treatment planning, attention to the clients social environment, a multicultural perspective and a recognition that client advocacy is part of the counselors role. Effective and current best practices are discussed throughout the text, and learning objectives and key terms help students focus on areas of most importance. Online homework, quizzes, tests and an interactive ebook are new to this edition in MindTap. Important forms that appear throughout the text are also available in MindTap to download.
