Description:
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
