Allies in Recovery offers CRAFT
. . .the best-studied, most successful approach in the country.
After years of great success with hundreds of families across the country, CRAFT, or Community Reinforcement and Family Training, has become the approach with the strongest evidence of results for those facing substance abuse problems, and their families. CRAFT doesn’t advocate just “shipping the addict to rehab.” It teaches you to positively influence your loved one to reduce his or her substance use and to seek help.
It emphasizes the long-term establishment of a healthy, positive, enriched life for everyone.
CRAFT has been extensively studied in clinical trials. The results have been impressive.
- 7 out of 10 allies succeed in having their loved one accept and seek help, even if they have been resistant.
- CRAFT outperforms Al-Anon 6 to 1 and the Johnson Institute 3 to 1.
- Half of all loved ones reduce their substance use, regardless of whether they seek help.
- CRAFT loved ones stay in treatment six times longer than others.
- Allies report significantly less anger, family conflict, depression and medical utilization after completing CRAFT.
- Allies report more family cohesion and happier relationships.
