| A Step-by-Step Guide to a Powerful Process for Working with Substance Abusing Women in Correctional Settings While there is a wealth of material available for the treatment of substance abuse, most of the information is based on research focused on men-not women. Helping Women Recover is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of substance abusing women. Created for use with women's groups in a variety of correctional settings, Helping Women Recover offers mental health professionals, corrections personnel, and program administrators the tools they need to implement this highly effective program.
"An important contribution to the tools available to corrections personnel in working with women with addictions. With its superb Facilitator's Guide it provides a unique, comprehensive, and realistic approach to recovery. It fills a huge gap in the criminal justice system by offering a framework for gender-specific programming. As part of a drug and alcohol treatment program in prisons, jails, and community corrections, it will significantly aid staff in presenting material in an appropriate and sensitive manner."—Martin F. Horn, secretary of corrections, Department of Corrections, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania "A clear and comprehensive guide. Covington provides addiction professionals with a precise and detailed curriculum based on her knowledge, caring, and years of experience addressing the special needs of addicted women."—Monessa Overby, vice president, clinical services, Betty Ford Center | | |
