This integrative psychosocial treatment approach to alcohol abuse and dependence includes elements of MI/MET, CBT, and facilitated self-help involvement. Tested in Project COMBINE. The manual is not particularly clinician-friendly; it reads like a “cookbook” for alcoholism treatment. However, is an excellent resource for those willing to look past the efforts at standardization (necessary in a research study). Includes numerous handouts for use in treatment. Also worth noting: the Project COMBINE Medical Management Manual uses an educational approach (NOT MI-based) to improve adherence to medical treatments for alcoholism.
Available from NIAAA for $18.00. Medical Management Manual is available online in PDF format for free.
