Addiction is a difficult and trying disease, not only for people living with addictive behaviors but for family and friends as well. DBT has been studied and used in many settings for addiction and even has its own skills module. DBT for addictive behaviors focuses on validating and accepting uncomfortable feelings rather than avoiding or working around them. Now, individual and group treatments commonly employ DBT for substance use disorders (SUD), a medical condition defined by uncontrollable use of substances despite the negative consequences. This webinar will be a deep dive into the module designed for addictive behaviors and how to use it in inpatient and outpatient settings.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Define Dialectical Abstinence
  • Teach the addiction module to clients
  • Assist clients with implementing in-the-moment techniques to redirect the addictive cravings
