Synopsis

This treatment workbook is written for therapists to help guide their clients throught the process of being more responsible in life, by abstinence from consuming any substance while operating a motor vehicle. This workbook can also be used by an individual who recognizes he or she needs help in this area, and can be used as a self help workbook. Many of the clients/readers of this treatment workbook continue to have serious problems with alcohol abuse and/or other substances, and they have a history of personal problems related to alcohol/substance abuse. The concept of the treatment workbook is to create change in the individual by examining their thinking, making chages in thought processes, and to help the individual make the right choices in life to live a substance free life or at a minimum to never drive intoxicated again.
