Drug Abuse Treatment for AIDS-Risk Reduction (DATAR) Treatment Manuals Available

Psychoeducational intervention manuals can help drug abuse treatment counselors educate patients and build patients' skills in important areas. Treatment programs can order copies of manuals developed by the NIDA-supported Drug Abuse Treatment for AIDS-Risk Reduction (DATAR) project covering HIV/AIDS education, assertiveness training for women, and transition to aftercare. A training manual for a visual representation technique called node-link mapping, which can be used to improve counseling effectiveness, also is available. Manuals may be ordered by phone, (309) 827-6026, or by fax, (309) 829-4661, from Lighthouse Institute Publishing, Chestnut Health Systems, 702 W. Chestnut, Bloomington, IL 61701.
