TRAINING DESCRIPTION AND CORE CLINICAL COMPONENTS

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a proven approach for treating substance use disorders (SUD).

DBT goes beyond traditional approaches, promoting self-acceptance, tackling co-occurring mental health disorders, and empowering individuals to prevent relapse. DBT fosters a holistic, evidence-based approach to addressing emotional and psychological factors contributing to substance misuse.
