Managing Your Substance Use Disorder (Third Edition): Workbook
The Managing Your Substance Use Disorder workbook is designed to help you understand and address substance use. Written by leading experts, it offers step-by-step guidance and effective strategies to manage cravings, deal with difficult thoughts and feelings, address relationship problems, and prevent relapse.
Overview
Psychosocial interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help individuals overcome substance use. They are recommended by the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and American Psychiatric Association (APA) for treating substance use disorders. The Managing Your Substance Use Disorder program is written by Dennis C. Daley and Antoine B. Douaihy, and it provides therapists with the tools they need to deliver effective, evidence-based treatment for substance use disorder. Part of the Treatments That Work™ series, this manualized guide provides a detailed description of screening and assessment strategies and treatment approaches (medications and psychosocial), alongside the application of evidence-based interventions in practice. Mutual support programs and the most common challenges faced by individuals with a substance use disorder are also discussed, such as managing cravings, resisting social pressures to use substances, coping with negative emotions and moods, building a social support network, involving family or concerned significant others, and reducing relapse risk.
