Contingency Management for Substance Abuse Treatment

A Guide to Implementing This Evidence-Based Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Contingency Management has been identified as the most efficacious intervention for substance use disorders. Despite the evidence of its efficacy in numerous clinical trials, contingency management is poorly understood and rarely utilized in practice settings, as no book exists specifically for clinicians. Contingency Management for Substance Abuse Treatment fills this gap as a clinician-oriented text that focuses on contingency management protocol development and implementation, and provides everything clinicians require to successfully apply a novel treatment in practice"--Provided by publisher.
