Sara says In each version, all staff must provide a consistent message about abstinence for persons with brain injuries

Version 1.0 - Good

Version 1.0 - Good programming provides basic education both for persons recovering from brain injury and their families 
        or significant others. In addition, the program provides a general screening 
        for the risk of substance abuse. This screening determines if a referral 
        is indicated. Finally, all staff are trained in the need for a systematic 
        approach to substance abuse prevention and have resolved personal issues 
        involving substance use by survivors. Version 1.0 activities can be incorporated 
        within existing programs without significant change. Click on this image to go to Version 2.0
