The Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) is a developmentally-appropriate behavioral treatment for youth and young adults ages 12 to 24 years old with substance use disorders.
A-CRA seeks to increase the family, social, and educational/vocational reinforces to support recovery. This intervention has been implemented in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and residential treatment settings. A-CRA includes guidelines for three types of sessions: individuals alone, parents/caregivers alone, and individuals and parents/caregivers together.
A-CRA goals include:
· Decrease the use of alcohol and drugs
· Improve life satisfaction
· Improve positive relations with family and peers
· Increase participation in non-using social activities
This training is for all Maryland counselors, social workers, and psychologists.
