Description: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based practice that is gaining more momentum in North Carolina, but is it effective for substance use disorders? This training will introduce participants to the research behind CBT for substance use disorders and will explore the theoretical underpinnings of CBT as well as effective strategies, including: functional analysis; coping skills training; cognitive restructuring; and relapse prevention. We will also briefly discuss ways to integrate Motivational Interviewing in order to more effectively engage clients in the change process.
