Which therapeutic approach incorporates community and family involvement in recovery?

The Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) is designed to engage individuals in their recovery process by leveraging the support of both the community and family. This approach focuses on enhancing a person's lifestyle and reinforcing positive behaviors by utilizing social and environmental resources to encourage abstinence and a better quality of life. In CRA, the therapist works with the client to identify personal values and goals, and then involves the client’s support system, including family and other community resources, to help facilitate change.

Family and community support play a crucial role in the CRA, as they can provide encouragement and accountability, which are essential for sustained recovery. This integrative approach recognizes that recovery is not just an individual journey but also one that can be significantly influenced by the dynamics within one's social environment. Engaging family members allows for the resolution of potential conflicts and the strengthening of support systems that can aid in recovery.

In contrast, the other approaches, while valuable in their own right, do not emphasize community and family involvement to the same extent as CRA. Motivational Interviewing is more focused on individual motivation and change. Family Systems Therapy is centered on family dynamics and relationships, but not necessarily on community resources. Individual Therapy typically concentrates on the client alone without the integration of community or family engagement.
