ABSTRACT
This chapter explores a checklist of steps that should be taken prior to introducing an Alcohol Moderation Plan and identifies the necessary components of one. It examines process of reintroducing alcohol and reviews relapse prevention tools. The Quick Check tool assists clients in monitoring the effectiveness of the plan. Developing a successful Alcohol Moderation Plan involves the family. They should have expressed their areas of concern. Many people include going through another period of abstinence if they are not sticking to their plan. Checking frequency of alcohol use is similar to monitoring the amount. It should fall within the moderation guidelines. Performing weekly checks is important at the beginning of abstinence as well as once an Alcohol Moderation Plan has been implemented. Classic behavioral reinforcement notes that the behaviors we pay attention to are the ones that get reinforced.
