Addiction Intervention is designed to help readers refine and sensitize their approaches to confronting, motivating, and treating persons with drug and alcohol dependencies. Full of effective strategies and case studies from widely respected specialists across several disciplines, this book shows readers how to persuade people to seek help for their chemical dependence and, what's more important, how to help them beat it. Addiction Intervention will help alcohol and drug educators, intervention trainers, physicians, nurses, social workers, employers, lawyers, judges, and counselors find ways to confront chemically dependent people and motivate them to change their lives.
