CRAFT (Community Reinforcement And Family Training) is a science-based training for the family of people with addiction. Recognized by SAMHSA, the federal agency that oversees substance addiction.
Over 500 members have shared their experiences with Allies in Recovery, describing how CRAFT has transformed their approach to loving someone with substance use disorder. These testimonials — from parents, spouses, siblings, and professionals — reveal journeys from crisis to calm, from enabling to empowering, and from isolation to community support.
Dominique Simon-Levine, MPH & Ph.D., studied CRAFT under Dr. Robert Meyers, and founded Allies in Recovery in 2003. She oversees the daily operations of the organization and has been featured on HBO and NPR.
Isabel Cooney co-hosts our podcast series for people using CRAFT with a significant other, called “Partner CRAFT.” She’s also a regular contributor to our Discussion Blog, and a CRAFT devotee.
Kayla Solomon, trained in CRAFT by Dr. Robert Meyers, is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and has been serving families faced with addiction for over 20 years.
