About the event
In this two-hour overview, the basics of Community Reinforcement Approach and Family Therapy (CRAFT) will be covered. The CRAFT model has 3 goals: Increase the quality of life for the Concerned Significant Other (CSO), Lessen the using behavior of the Identified Patient (IP), and Getting the IP into treatment. There are also 3 principles: Reward the IP for non-use, withdraw the rewards for using behavior, and
allow natural consequences.
