The Workbook is intended for use by justice involved clients with co-occurring substance use issues and criminal conduct, guided by counselors skilled in Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive-Behavioral treatment techniques. The curriculum is designed to be delivered in structured treatment settings including jails, prisons, parole, outpatient and residential community settings. It can be delivered in group or individual treatment modalities.
Phase I: Challenge to Change
This phase introduces participants to the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) Map, which helps identify how thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs influence emotions and actions. Participants learn to recognize high-risk situations and thinking patterns that lead to substance abuse and criminal conduct. Key skills include mental self-control, relaxation techniques, and managing urges and cravings. Modules focus on understanding personal history, identifying problem areas, and setting relapse and recidivism prevention goals. Participants develop a Master Profile (MP) and Master Assessment Plan (MAP) to guide their journey, using worksheets and exercises to reflect on past behaviors, identify triggers, and set goals for change.
Phase II: Commitment to Change
This phase emphasizes skill development for responsible living, including problem-solving, assertiveness, and managing anger in relationships. Participants learn to give and receive compliments, resolve conflicts, and build healthy intimate relationships. Modules address moral reasoning, empathy, and prosocial behavior, encouraging respect for others and positive community contributions. Cognitive-behavioral strategies, such as the STEP Method (Situation, Thinking Change, Emotions, Positive Action/Outcome), help participants achieve positive outcomes by changing their thoughts and beliefs. Communication skills, such as active sharing and listening, are emphasized to improve relationships and prevent relapse and recidivism.
Phase III: Ownership of Change
The final phase focuses on taking full ownership of the changes made in earlier phases. Participants strengthen relapse and recidivism prevention plans, develop critical reasoning skills, and create a balanced lifestyle. Modules include managing work and time, engaging in healthy leisure activities, relaxation techniques, healthy eating, and physical activity. Participants are encouraged to give back to their community through mentoring and role modeling, reinforcing their commitment to responsible living. The goal is to sustain a drug-free and crime-free life while contributing positively to the community.
