MEE Journal System...

In addition to offering your program optimum structure, The Change Companies®' MEE (Motivational, Educational and Experiential) Journal System provides flexibility by allowing your organization to choose from 22 topics relating to substance dependency and addictive behaviors. More than 1,500 adult treatment programs across the county have selected the MEE Journal System for their clients. During a period of tight budgets and reduced lengths of stay, the MEE Journal System provides a cost-effective means to serve a wide range of client needs.

The Change Companies® has enhanced the MEE series. Key changes to look for include new Journal topics, enhanced color and design and the use of engaging photographs. Journal content and questions have been strengthened to ensure adherence with evidence-based change strategies while maintaining the user-friendly approach you have come to expect in providing resources for your populations.

Why Choose the MEE System?

  • Providers have a ready-made template for turning treatment planning into action-oriented steps for change.
  • Administrators and program directors can have confidence in the fidelity of service delivery across providers, programs and locations.
