Substance use disorders are common and deadly. Although we cannot predict which patient will respond to CBT for substance use disorders, many will find the tools that it offers useful in their journey to recovery. Skill-building and education, identifying and responding to triggers, and having plans to navigate relapses are all valuable strategies taught in this form of treatment. This webinar will provide an overview of the tools of CBT tailored for practical application in daily patient management.
