Abstract

The Linear Model for Individualized Treatment (LMIT) can be a helpful tool in developing therapeutic recreation interventions. This case study used the LMIT as a guide for designing a therapeutic recreation program for a 17 year old male with poly substance abuse and moderate conduct disorder. The implemented intervention used self-control therapy to assist the client in increasing his locus of control and perceived freedom.
