Pressure from third-party payers, accrediting agencies, and other outside parties has increased the need for clinicians to quickly produce effective, high-quality treatment plans. Treatment Planners provide all the elements necessary to quickly and easily develop formal treatment plans that satisfy the needs of most third-party payers and state and federal review agencies.
Each Treatment Planner

Offers the freedom to develop customized treatment plans.
Includes over 1,000 clear statements describing the behavioral manifestations of each relational problem, and includes long-term goals, short-term objectives, and clinically tested treatment options.
Has an easy-to-use reference format that helps locate treatment plan components by behavioral problem or psychiatric diagnosis.
As with the rest of the books in the PracticePlanners® series, our aim is to clarify, simplify, and accelerate the treatment planning process so you spend less time on paperwork and more time with your clients.
ABOUT THE ADDICTION TREATMENT PLANNER
The Addiction Treatment Planner has been written for individual, group, and family counselors and psychotherapists who are working with adults and adolescents who are struggling with addictions to mood-altering chemicals, gambling, abusive eating, nicotine, or sexual promiscuity. The problem list of chapter titles reflects those addictive behaviors and the emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, social, personality, legal, medical, and vocational issues associated with those addictions. Whereas the focus of the original Chemical Dependence Treatment Planner was limited exclusively to substance abuse and its associated problems, the focus of later editions has been expanded to include other common addictive behaviors as well as other behavioral problems and psychiatric conditions in which addictive behavior may occur.
This sixth edition of The Addition Treatment Planner has been improved in many ways:
Updated with new and revised evidence-based objectives and interventions
Addition at the outset of every chapter of an evidence-based Objective and two Therapeutic Interventions highlighting the importance of establishing a positive relationship with the client
Revised, expanded, and updated References to Empirical Support for Evidence-based Chapters (Appendix G) are now listed online at www.wiley.com/go/jongsma/addictiontp6e
Revised, expanded, and updated self-help book list in the Bibliotherapy Suggestions (Appendix A)
More suggested homework assignments from Homework Planners integrated into the interventions
Updated Appendix F, which provides an Alphabetical Index of Sources for the Assessment Instruments and Clinical Interview Forms Cited in Interventions
New chapters on Opioid Use and Panic Disorder/Agoraphobia
Renamed chapters for Depression – Unipolar (formerly Unipolar Depression) and Readiness for Change (formerly Treatment Resistance)
Exclusive use of DSM-5 (ICD-10-CM) diagnostic labels and codes into the Diagnostic Suggestions section of each chapter
This edition of the Planner continues to give special attention to the Patient Placement Criteria (PPC) developed by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). In the ASAM contents we have listed our presenting problem chapters under each of the six assessment dimensions:
1 Dimension 1: Acute intoxication and/or withdrawal potential
2 Dimension 2: Biomedical conditions and complications
3 Dimension 3: Emotional, behavioral, or cognitive conditions and complications
4 Dimension 4: Readiness to change
5 Dimension 5: Relapse, continued use, or continued problem potential
6 Dimension 6: Recovery/living environment
The Addiction Treatment Planner has treatment planning content applicable to problems discovered in all of the six assessment dimensions.
Also included (Appendix D) is a form that can be used to assess the client under the six ASAM dimensions. The checklist provides material for efficient evaluation of the client on each of the six dimensions. This form has been developed and is utilized by the staff at Keystone Treatment Center, Canton, South Dakota, where Dr. Perkinson is the clinical director. It is not copyrighted and may be used or adapted for use by our readers.
Interventions can be found in each chapter that reflect a 12-step recovery program approach, but you will also find interventions based on a broader psychological and pharmacological model. Because addiction treatment is often done in a residential setting through a team approach, interventions have been created that can be assigned to staff members of various disciplines and modalities: nursing, medical, group counseling, family therapy, or individual therapy. We hope that we have provided a broad, eclectic menu of objectives and interventions from which you can select to meet your client's unique needs. Ideally, we have also provided a stimulus for you to create new objectives and interventions from your own clinical experience that have proven to be helpful to addictive clients.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is steadily becoming the standard of care in mental health care as it has in medical health care. Professional organizations such as the American Psychological Association (APA), National Association of Social Workers, and the American Psychiatric Association, as well as consumer organizations such the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) have all endorsed the use of EBP. In some practice settings, EBP is becoming mandated. Some third-party payers are requiring use of EBP for reimbursement. It is clear that the call for evidence and accountability is being increasingly sounded. So, what is EBP and how is its use facilitated by this Planner?
Borrowing from the Institute of Medicine's definition (Institute of Medicine, 2001), the APA has defined EBP as, “the integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient characteristics, culture, and preferences” (APA Presidential Task Force on EBP, 2006).
