Center for Addiction Treatment (CAT) re-launches the Family Education Group featuring a new, evidence-based Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model, enhancing free, public care opportunities for loved ones of those impacted by the disease of addiction. Utilizing a revitalized 12-week curriculum, attendees who participate in this program will be led by a licensed clinician and Certified Peer Supporter to explore communication, positive reinforcement, and behavioral strategies proven to support both the enrollee and their loved one experiencing addiction. The curriculum will guide participants through a range of key CRAFT model tenants, including increasing the concerned significant other’s happiness and functioning while exploring the identified patient’s use and strategies to help said individual seek treatment.
