Is the only evidence-based program designed to assist families that are challenged by addiction. It uses a uniquely balanced approach that relies on positive reinforcement and positive communication while maintaining boundaries that protect the family. CRAFT is a culturally sensitive program that works with families to positively influence the behavior of the person with an active addiction. The program emphasizes learning new skills including 1) how to stay safe, 2) how to understand the function of the addictive behaviors, 3) how to use positive reinforcers (rewards) and 4) how to let the substance user suffer the natural consequences for their using behavior. CRAFT research has shown that almost 7 out of 10 people who use the program get their substance user to attend treatment. CRAFT has been shown to be equally effective with Hispanic, Indigenous, and Anglo families. (12 CEUs)
