Answers To Common CRAFT Questions Parents Have When Their Child Is Struggling With Addiction or Experimenting With Drugs, With Erica Lubetkin, LMHC


Listen Later

ABOUT THE EPISODE:
CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training) is an evidence-based approach to motivating and inviting someone to make changes in their behavior. It's proven to be an effective way for parents to help their kids who are misusing drugs or alcohol, and is easily accessible to learn and put into practice.

In this episode, I invited CRAFT-certified therapist Erica Lubetkin, LMHC to join me to answer common questions parents have about using CRAFT in the real world. Erica was my guest on episode 96 talking about relapse, and I knew she was the perfect person to dive into the more nuanced details of this parenting approach.

We covered important topics like:

  • ideas for parents when you see a pre-lapse
  • sober music festivals
  • what to do when your child just won't talk or engage with you
  • how to use CRAFT when your child doesn't live with or near you
  • tips when your child doesn't see that their substance use is a problem
  • ideas for using pop-culture trends like "hangxiety" as a connection point
  • thoughts on being a safe space and also giving consequences
  • what are motivational hooks & windows of opportunity?
  • what you can do when you're not on the same page as the person you're co-parenting with
  • the CRAFT skill Erica sees parents have the hardest time with
  • and other fun things
