An expertly curated collection of effective group exercises for patients with addictions

In the newly revised second edition of Group Exercises for Substance Use Disorders Counseling, experienced addiction counsellor, Geri Miller, delivers a practical collection of group therapy exercises for patients struggling with substance addictions. The author has drawn on over four decades of frontline experience treating addicted patients, as well as the latest research, evidence, and best practices, to curate a selection of group exercises that improve health outcomes among a wide variety of patient populations.

Youโ€™ll find useful group exercises accompanied by easy-to-understand instructions in an intuitively organised format. These exercises assist patients in the development of self-awareness of harmful behaviours and patterns and realistic strategies they can apply immediately to help address them.

They also help patients identify stressors and triggers and offer techniques to avoid or resist them.

Inside the book:

  • Practical group counselling exercises that work with patients from myriad backgrounds, including those belonging to especially vulnerable groups
  • Easy-to-follow instructions for clinical practitioners, counsellors, social workers, and other professionals conducting group therapy for addiction
  • Complimentary PowerPoint resources to help educators in a classroom setting, as well as counsellor supervisors conducting training

An essential and updated resource for mental health and addiction counsellors, Group Exercises for Substance Use Disorders Counseling is an invaluable book for anyone involved in or studying substance abuse counselling and treatment.
