What is “CRAFT”?
Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) is an evidence-based approach designed specifically for families. It empowers you with practical, effective tools to positively influence your loved one’s behavior while also strengthening your own well-being.
The 3 Goals of CRAFT
- Decrease substance use.
- Encourage entry into treatment.
- Improve your own quality of life.
Why CRAFT Works
Research shows that families who use CRAFT are 2–3 times more likely to help their loved one enter and stay in treatment - while experiencing less anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion themselves.
Core Skills You’ll Practice
You’ll be guided step-by-step through the 9 Core CRAFT strategies, including:
- Positive communication techniques.
- Understanding triggers and behavior patterns.
- Using reinforcement to encourage change.
- Setting boundaries with clarity and compassion.
- Allowing natural consequences.
- Inviting your loved one into treatment in a way that increases success.
