    A Practical Guide to Facilitating Substance Use Disorder Recovery is meant to augment a main textbook as a resource for both students and practitioners in the SUD field. This practical guide assists readers in the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of SUDs, with the aim of reducing the confusion that exists with SUD by providing a pragmatic, balanced, philosophical perspective. Treatment interventions include story/metaphor, humor, experiential activity (play); and music. The book uniquely offers an “addictionary” as well as coverage on the emotional sobriety concept; the maintenance of a balanced lifestyle; the impact of technology on AA; time markers of relapse vulnerability; and Jungian psychology concepts and “using dream” interventions.

    Key Features of This Text:

    1. Provides practical information that is anchored in both clinical observations and in cutting-edge research.
    2. Contains impactful pedagogical features in each chapter including a Stress Management Tip, a story of a person in long-term recovery, author personal reflections, and Interactive Reader Components (e.g., case studies, exercises, appendices, suggested readings/resources) in addition to boxes, figures, tables, and appendices.
    3. Covers a wide range of approaches and perspectives on substance use disorder recovery designed to expand readers' perspective of SUD work including discussion of the Active SUD brain and the Recovering SUD brain.
