Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) is an evidence-based behavioral intervention that seeks to reduce environmental factors that promote substance use and build resilience with pro-social behaviors. Clinicians assume a flexible approach to reduce adolescent substance use by choosing from a menu of 19 different A-CRA procedures that address areas such as problem-solving skills, communication skills, and relapse prevention.
Goals of A-CRA:
• Decrease substance use
• Improve life satisfaction
•Improve positive relations with family and peers
• Increase participation in non-using pro-social activities
A-CRA Provider Training is a two-day event (12-17 total hours) that provides training in all nineteen A-CRA procedures and includes one (1) complimentary manual. Completion of the full training is required to pursue A-CRA certification.
