Description
This book presents a culture change in addictions treatment that places wellness at the forefront of relapse, addiction, and recovery. The authors introduce a wellness-based conceptualization of addiction and recovery including the wellness model that grounds Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling (WBAC) and the techniques of this approach.
Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling advocates for wellness as the primary variable in addiction and recovery outcomes, presents a wellness-based model of addiction and recovery, and highlights techniques for unlocking the motivational and strength-based aspects of this approach. Specifically, the authors provide wellness questions and screening tools to incorporate into the clinical evaluation and structure for creating a wellness plan and family wellness plan for the client's loved ones. Readers will learn numerous wellness-based techniques related to the mind, body, spirit, emotions, and connection that can prevent relapse and facilitate well-being. All WBAC interventions are grounded in developmental, culturally responsive, and strength-based perspectives.
Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling is essential reading for professionals who provide addictions treatment and counseling as well as scholars who conduct writing and research on addiction.

"Wellness is critical to the purpose of the work that mental health and addictions professionals do with clients. In Clarke and Lewis' book, they are the first to center wellness in addictions counseling that flips our understanding of addiction and recovery work. Highlighting the empowerment of the individual and how their involvement in their own recovery process is part of their own wellness, Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling offers a positive reframing of life choices that is more about balance and less about flawlessness."Donna M. Gibson, PhD, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH, Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University
"The WBAC is a substantial addition to the field of SUD counseling. While there has been a significant increase in theoretical ways to view SUD work over the past twenty-five years, framing addiction treatment through the lens of wellness counseling moves professionals toward a much more holistic approach to treatment for clients. And the more areas of life we can help clients with, the greater the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes for more clients. The authors have functionally expanded the long held biopsychosocial concept to effectively address the entirety of client experience - the biopsychosocial, spiritual, emotional, multicultural, strengths-based, model. This is a must read for SUD counseling practitioners working with clients in today's treatment environment."
John R. Culbreth, PhD, LCMHCS, LCAS, CCS, Professor, University of North Carolina Charlotte, Director of the McLeod Institute on Addiction
