By Stephanie S. Covington, Ph.D.

In this version of Helping Women Recover, Dr. Covington addresses the special concerns and issues of substance-abusing women in correctional settings. The coordinated facilitator's guide and workbook create the highly effective Helping Women Recover program to aid women during the process of recovery.

The curriculum includes:

• One Facilitator's Guide
  
• One Client's Journal

This innovative program integrates the theories of women's psychological development, trauma, and addiction treatment in an approach specifically designed to meet the needs of chemically dependent women.

The package of a facilitator's guide and a client journal is organized into four topics:

• self
  
• relationships
  
• sexuality
  
• spirituality

The curriculum can be comfortably integrated with existing recovery programs. It offers a comprehensive program covering topics that women in treatment have identified as necessary for growth and healing or issues that trigger relapse.

It also provides counselors, mental health professionals, corrections staff, and program administrators the tools they need to implement a highly effective program with women's groups in a wide variety of correctional settings. 392 pages. 2008.
