Meet Howard Casanova. Labeled and treated as an alcoholic thirty years ago, he has a story to tell. BEYOND AA begins with a stunning realization: the nation's premier recovery program no longer has answers for over two thirds of those sent there.Dealing with issues of childhood sexual abuse, substance abuse, divorce, and an ADD personality, Casanova eventually moved beyond AA, which AA teaches is not something people who follow the program can do. And, if AA was no longer the right fit for him, surely there were others whose needs were also not being met. Casanova shares details of his life-including the revelation that quitting drinking cold turkey hadn't necessarily been the best solution for him and many others he'd met. After all, why can't some people learn to drink in moderation instead of to excess? BEYOND AA offers a critical look at not only AA but also the entire substance abuse treatment and recovery industry. Newly married and overcoming his obstacles, Casanova shows there can be life BEYOND AA to one with PURPOSE!

Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People with Physical and Cognitive Disabilities (Revised)
<b>NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT FOR THIS PRINT PRODUCT- OVERSTOCK SALE - Significantly reduced list price </b> <p/> This TIP, <i>Substance Use Disorder Treatment for People With Physical and Cognitive Disabilities</i>, is intended to enhance treatment providers' knowledge concerning people who have a physical or cognitive disability in addition to their substance use disorder. Treatment programs for substance use disorders already see many individuals with coexisting disabilities, but many providers fail to accommodate these individuals either because they are unaware of the disability or how accommodations can improve treatment outcomes (even though such accommodations are legally mandated). The first chapter defines and explains the issues involved in treating people with coexisting disabilities. Chapter 2 discusses how to screen for coexisting disabilities and how to adapt substance use disorder screenings for clients who have a disability. Chapter 3 discusses treatment planning and counseling&#x3b; it also describes how treatment can be modified to meet the particular needs of people with coexisting disabilities. Forming linkages with other service providers is the topic of Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 presents material for program administrators. In Appendix B, there is a comprehensive list of resources. Appendix C discusses the proper language to use when referring to people with disabilities. <i>Alcohol and Drug Programs and the Americans With Disabilities Act</i>, a pamphlet from the Pacific Research and Training Alliance, is reproduced in Appendix D.
