The SECOND Outside-the-Box Recovery Workbook: Illustrated, Fun, and Professional Handouts for Drug Counselors and Their Clients

I use this book for clients who have been at the facility before and want to try something new as I work at a 28-day inpatient facility. Clients have ordered their own they enjoy it so much.

So much fun to use and really helpful

I absolutely love this book and this author! Being an addiction counselor, clients are tired of the same educational materials! This book is educational with a twist! My clients really enjoy doing the different activities, while still being educated! All of Kim’s material is a breath of fresh air!

I love this and more importantly my clients like the exercises.

Fun and unique ideas for treatment!

I stumbled onto Wacky Kim a few years ago and I was blown away. I have several books on my shelves that are dry, pedantic, and let's face it, BORING. I spent a few decades in full blown addiction and for the last six years I work as a Nationally Certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist. I have seen a lot of people walk through the doors of our Recovery Resource Center and a good percentage appreciate the humorous, interesting and at times irreverent handouts. This is a great tool for your kit and I highly recommend it.

Previous reviews have mirrored my thoughts on these books. They are a refreshing alternative to most of the clinical books that I have read and use with my clients in a residential addiction facility. Thank you, Kim, for offering resources that provide a little reprieve from traditional addiction treatment books. I have many great books on addiction treatment, and I do not mean to discount those, but these resources are engaging, fun, and help clients and clinicians have a little different take on treating the disease of addiction.

This is Dr. Rosenthal’s second recovery-related workbook. And just like it’s predecessor, it knocks it out of the ballpark. As an addictions counselor, I’m frustrated by the lack of client-friendly resources available, but Outside The Box (both of them, really) fills the void quite well. A must-have for anyone serious about achieving and maintaining their sobriety.
