Delbert Boone
- Locked Up: The Best Place to Treat Addiction
Delbert
Boone is one of the nation’s foremost authorities on addiction and
criminal behavior, an identity established through his ability to
consistently help drug offenders and substance abuse counselors
understand the parallels between addiction and criminal behavior.
Since 1995, Boone has been honored with seven International Telly
Awards and recognized for outstanding contributions at four American
Corrections Association Film Festivals for his video programs.
Over the
last twenty-five years Boone has worked with addicts from all walks
of life and by relating his own struggles with addiction to heroin
and incarceration, he has given hope where there previously was
none. Boone has developed the tools to help individuals who are
seriously challenged by life.
Boone’s
primary work is through his own consulting and training firm NND
Productions, in which he consults with both local and federal
correctional systems, as well as school districts and law
enforcement officials nationwide to deliver quality and effective
substance abuse treatment programs and services.

Jack Klott,
MSSA LISW - Motivational Interviewing: Strategies for Positive
Outcomes from Challenging Behaviors
Jack
Klott has more than 39 years of experience working with clients who
bring to the office a complexity of psychiatric, psychological,
substance use, social and environmental issues. In 1984, he
established Suicide Prevention Consultants, a private practice which
serves high-risk clients vulnerable to treatment resistance,
noncompliance, and multiple relapse behavior. As a teacher, seminar
leader, and clinician he has implemented treatment strategies based
on Motivational Enhancement theories that work to diminish the
ambivalence and resistance which normally accompanies high-risk
clients. He was recently recognized by the Michigan Association of
Suicidology, an organization he helped found, for his valuable
contribution to the prevention of suicide in Michigan. Klott is the
author of The Gatekeeper in Suicide Prevention, The Suicide and
