Self-Preservation: An Engaging Substance Abuse and DUI/DWI Life Skills Program/Workbook for Developing a More Self-Reliant, Self-Empowere

This education/life skills program was written for those dealing with substance abuse and/or charged with a DUI/DWI or illegal drug crime. "Self-Preservation" sets itself apart from the other programs that simply provide the same basic information with hopes it alone will lead to growth. Instead, we incorporate that evidence-based information along with our own process for truly engaging the individual as a whole-person. Our philosophy is that we all exist in a state of survival and do what we think we need to do based on the beliefs we've adapted over time. We work to correct this by becoming more self-aware and educated so that we can move forward making better decisions for our lives, families, and communities. “Self-Preservation" has 18 complete sessions of weekly self-assessments, comprehensive substance/life skills education, a group process rundown, pre-post tests, regular session reviews, relapse prevention planning, maintenance planning, life skills lessons, and an exit interview process.
