"Wellness is critical to the purpose of the work that mental health and addictions professionals do with clients. In Clarke and Lewis’ book, they are the first to center wellness in addictions counseling that flips our understanding of addiction and recovery work. Highlighting the empowerment of the individual and how their involvement in their own recovery process is part of their own wellness, Wellness-Based Addictions Counseling offers a positive reframing of life choices that is more about balance and less about flawlessness."Donna M. Gibson, PhD, LPC, NCC, BC-TMH, Professor, Virginia Commonwealth University"The WBAC is a substantial addition to the field of SUD counseling. While there has been a significant increase in theoretical ways to view SUD work over the past twenty-five years, framing addiction treatment through the lens of wellness counseling moves professionals toward a much more holistic approach to treatment for clients. And the more areas of life we can help clients with, the greater the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes for more clients. The authors have functionally expanded the long held biopsychosocial concept to effectively address the entirety of client experience – the biopsychosocial, spiritual, emotional, multicultural, strengths-based, model. This is a must read for SUD counseling practitioners working with clients in today’s treatment environment."John R. Culbreth, PhD, LCMHCS, LCAS, CCS, Professor, University of North Carolina Charlotte, Director of the McLeod Institute on Addiction
