About the Book

This book integrates the extensive clinical experience of the authors, and the empirical and clinical literature. Numerous specific clinical and systems strategies to improve adherence to treatment for clients with substance abuse, psychiatric illness or dual disorders are discussed in this book. Motivational strategies based on studies of the authors and others are incorporated related to improving adherence, facilitating entry into treatment, moving successfully from one level of care to the next (eg, inpatient or residential to outpatient), and keeping clients in treatment beyond the early phase of treatment.
