Treatment for family members is an important part of a patient’s recovery. At Wholeview Direct we utilize CRAFT, Community Reinforcement and Family Training to support the families of the patients we serve. CRAFT Treatment focuses on three areas 1) positive communication strategies, 2) teaching how to set up contingencies to reward the identified patient when they are doing well and to ignore negative behaviors and to allow natural consequences of their use to occur as much as safely possible and 3) self care techniques for the family member. Together these skills and strategies can help someone struggling to enter and remain in care and can also bring down the temperature for a family in crisis and reduce stress and anxiety for the entire family.
