Transforming Futures

Transforming Futures: the Brooklyn Program Facilitator's Manual, Second Edition; updates the First Edition manual for the award-winning Brooklyn Program, a new, non-confrontational approach to substance use treatment. In its pages you will be led step-by-step through the procedures for recreating the program. You will discover the logic that informs the procedures and clear descriptions of the tools from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that make it work. The Brooklyn Program was used for seven years by the United States Probation Department in Brooklyn, New York as a major treatment modality for substance use disorders. Over that period, hundreds of clients were treated who achieved high program attendance, significant one year abstinence rates and significant levels of personal growth. This new edition adds additional introductory materials on the nature of addiction, more complete scripts and a complete index.
