This protocol makes reference to an ACT Workbook and Comprehensive Substance Involvement Worksheets, etc. Wher do we find those?

Thanks,

Jennifer,

Any news on your e-mail? I manage 2 therapeutic drug communities and I am trying to incorporate ACT. This would be very helpful. I am willing to purchase the materials.

Thanks!

Hi Clete
I am working as a volunteer at a residential substance abuse/dependence unit and am after info or advise on using ACT.
I have some experience of ACT with individual counselling and really believe in its usefullness, but the unit has now knowledge of it per se. Do you have or know of a protocol or interventions suitable for alcoholics/drug addics (AFTER DETOX).
Thanks
Mark Baxter
