Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is a scientifically-supported program for family members who are desperate to get a treatment-refusing substance abuser to enter treatment (Meyers & Wolfe, 2004; Sisson & Azrin, 1986; Smith & Meyers, 2004). CRAFT teaches these family members how to apply behavioral principles at home so that clean and sober behavior is reinforced and substance use is discouraged. CRAFT-trained family members consistently are able to engage their substance-abusing loved one into treatment in nearly seven out of 10 cases. Notably, the program is effective with ethnically diverse populations, across various types of relationships (spouses, parent-adult child), and without regard for the particular drug of abuse (alcohol, cocaine). This paper provides a rationale for working with family members when a resistant individual refuses treatment, and supplies an overview of both the CRAFT program components and the research findings.
