For Substance Use Disorder Treatment
Description
This Psychoeducational Group Curriculum and Activities Guide is designed for use in substance use disorder treatment programs to provide structured, evidence-informed, and therapeutically engaging sessions across a 13-week curriculum. Each weekly group explores a key theme relevant to substance use recovery-from understanding the cycle of addiction to building relationships, managing emotions, and fostering self-efficacy.
Facilitators are provided with clear objectives, discussion prompts, facilitation tips, worksheets, and experiential activities to promote client insight, peer connection, and real-world application. The guide integrates trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and strengths-based approaches, making it adaptable for diverse clinical settings and client needs.

Next Level Curriculum Building
Activities, worksheets, and talking points. All in one place.
Flexible. Evidence-Informed. Built for Real Counselors.
After 25 years in the field of Substance Use Disorder treatment, I’ve attended more trainings than I can count. Time and time again, I was told the same thing: “To preserve the integrity of this curriculum, you must teach it exactly as written.” But here's the truth — in the real world, that rarely happens.
Counselors adapt. We respond to the energy in the room, the needs of our clients, the cultural context, and the ever-changing nature of group dynamics. We pull in extra worksheets, shift the order of sessions, and shape our content to meet people where they are. And we should.
That’s why I created this SUD curriculum — essential topics, evidence-informed practices, and flexible structure. It’s a foundation, not a formula. You can take what works, leave what doesn’t, and use it in whatever order or style makes sense for your clients and your setting. Whether you're working in residential, outpatient, harm reduction, or recovery maintenance, this curriculum is made to fit you — not the other way around.
Developed by a counselor, for counselors. No gatekeeping. Just practical, relevant content that respects both your clinical judgment and the complex lives of the people you serve.

Feedback from our surveys.
"Finn is really engaging. My attention was kept the entire presentation. I appreciated the level of knowledge, and that it wasn't a typical basic class--this was actually for advanced counselors, as advertised"
"It was great to hear about how clinical supervision should be especially in a field that does not always have quality supervision. I enjoyed that there was ongoing conversation about the limitations in supervision and discussion around statute, ethics and regulation."
