Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA): is a comprehensive behavioral program for treating persons with substance use disorders. It is based on the belief that environmental contingencies play a powerful role in encouraging or discouraging drinking or drug use. Consequently, it utilizes social, recreational, familial, and vocational reinforcers to assist consumers in the recovery process. The goal of
CRA is to make a sober lifestyle more rewarding than the use of substances.
