This therapy has three main goals, and the goals are to help your loved one, reduce their substance use, make it more likely that they'll enter treatment and stay for longer, and, regardless of whether or not they stop using, making your life as a loved one better.
Imagine being able to support a loved one through addiction without feeling helpless. In this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', addiction psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove Lamba and addictions case manager Jean-Paul Michael dive into the CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) model, a game-changer for families navigating the turbulent waters of substance use disorders.
Unlike traditional methods that isolate the individual, CRAFT brings the family into the fold, equipping them with practical tools to foster recovery and improve their own well-being. With three core goals—reducing substance use, encouraging treatment, and enhancing family life—CRAFT teaches family members how to communicate effectively and create a supportive environment. Dr. Lamba and JP discuss how positive reinforcement and enjoyable activities can make a world of difference.
They also touch on the surprising benefits of audiobooks as a learning tool for busy families. If you’re tired of waiting for 'rock bottom' and want to create a proactive path to sobriety, this episode offers valuable insights into making that journey smoother for everyone involved.
