After the spouses and relatives underwent the CRAFT program, 74% of the drug abusers entered treatment, Dr. Meyer said. “The data really surprised us.”
Other studies of the CRAFT program have shown similar results, Dr. Meyers said.
“There is a gigantic difference in the programs,” Dr. Meyers added. “The CRAFT program helps the family member navigate the world of the substance abuser. Most have said they never would go to treatment, but they went–and stayed.”
