A great overview of various OT interventions in addiction recovery

Very satisfying to have evidence based information on the importance of the role of OT in addiction recovery. Insightful to hear of other interventions which I could use and new ways that can be explored. Would love to read the follow-up research study on more OT interventions and OT roles in After-care programs. More details on the type of activities used is what I desire now.
