Synopsis

An effective collection of resources for men struggling with substance use in the context of the criminal justice system

In the newly revised second edition of Helping Men Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction, Special Edition for Use in the Justice System, a team of experts delivers a practical and straightforward framework to assist men struggling with substance use in the context of the criminal justice system. Targeting the four areas most consistently identified by men as triggering relapse―the self, sexuality, spirituality, and relationships―this book explores topics like self-awareness and identity, the impact of family, communication, male socialization, and many more.

Readers will also find:

• Comprehensive strategies for the creation of safe spaces in which men will feel comfortable expressing themselves, reflecting, and learning
• Information about how men develop and conquer addictions and trauma
• Ways to develop and learn the skills men need to maintain and sustain recovery from substance use and live the life they want to live

An indispensable collection of exercises and other resources for men struggling with substance abuse and the criminal justice system, Helping Men Recover belongs on the bookshelves of social workers, clinicians, and other correctional system professionals.
