Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction - Stephanie Covington

Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction

[Covington, S. (1999, rev. 2008 and 2019). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley]

This revised edition of Dr. Covington’s innovative, evidence-based program integrates theories of women’s psychological development, trauma, and addiction to meet the needs of women with addictive disorders. The comprehensive, twenty-session curriculum contains four modules that address the areas that women in treatment identify as triggers for relapse: self, relationships, sexuality and spirituality. They include the issues of self-esteem, sexism, family of origin, relationships, domestic violence, and trauma.  The user-friendly and self-instructive materials are a step-by-step facilitator’s guide and a participant’s journal, entitled A Woman’s Journal, that is filled with self-tests, checklists, and exercises to enable each participant to create a personalized guide to recovery.

Some of the new updates to the 3rd edition include:

  • Expanded from 17 to 20 sessions
  • Trauma-sensitive yoga exercises
  • Updated gender information
  • Incorporates more mindfulness
  • New brain research as it relates to addiction and trauma
  • Updated statistics
  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
  • Process of trauma and its effects on the mind and body
