Problems with alcohol and drugs differ for women and men in development, risk factors, negative consequences, metabolism, relapse triggers, and related issues. Left untreated, alcohol and other drug use disorders can have unwanted impacts on your functioning, health, and relationships. Based on scientific evidence accumulated over 25 years of research, this women-specific, cognitive-behavioral program addresses the unique challenges and treatment needs of women with alcohol and/or drug use problems. Readers can use the handouts and worksheets in this workbook to follow the step-by-step program designed to help achieve and maintain abstinence, learn skills to prevent relapse and help achieve improvements in quality of life, self-care, coping skills, and wellness. Written to be used in a therapeutic setting and in conjunction with the companion therapist guide, the program includes easy instructions and materials to help you identify your drinking patterns and triggers, take control of your behavior, seek social network support, understand and experience the rewards of sobriety, and find positive alternatives to drinking and drug use. You also will learn useful techniques for managing strong negative emotions and negative thoughts. Overcoming alcohol or drug problems is an attainable goal with this effective and comprehensive program.
