Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) & Weekend Planning

In this group we use the community-reinforcement approach (CRA) to help you build and maintain motivation for abstinence by focusing on increasing pleasurable activities, learning new coping behaviors, and involving loved ones in the recovery process. You’ll learn practical skills to improve communication and problem-solving. As this group meets on Fridays, we review and discuss plans for the weekend with a focus on ensuring your plans are both safe and enjoyable. The overall goal is to help you find healthier ways to meet your social and emotional needs and to develop a meaningful life in recovery that is more compelling than a life using alcohol or drugs.
