Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) & Weekend Planning

Fridays 10:30am - 12:00pm (WW) & 11:00am-noon (WD)

This group uses the community-reinforcement approach (CRA) to help participants build and maintain motivation for abstinence by focusing on increasing pleasurable activities, learning new coping behaviors, and involving loved ones in the recovery process. Practical skills are introduced into the group including communication skills and problem-solving skills. As this group meets on Fridays, we review and discuss plans for the weekend to ensure that they are both safe and enjoyable. The overall goal of CRA 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.
