our experience with substance abuse treatment
Our experience with substance abuse treatment is "no single
treatment approach or modality has been demonstrated to be superior to all others" .
1. There is no single treatment approach that is effective for all
persons with alcohol problems.
2. The provision of appropriate, specific treatment modalities can
substantially improve outcome.
3. Brief interventions can be quite effective compared with no
treatment, and they can be quite cost-effective compared with
more intensive treatment.
4. Treatment of other life problems related to drinking can
improve outcome in persons with alcohol problems.
5. Therapist characteristics are partial determinants of outcome.
6. Outcomes are determined in part by treatment process factors,
post treatment adjustment factors, the characteristics of
individuals seeking treatment, the characteristics of their
problems, and the interactions among these factors.
7. People who are treated for alcohol problems achieve a continuum
of outcomes with respect to drinking behavior and alcohol problems
and follow different courses of outcome.
8. Those who significantly reduce their level of alcohol consumption
or who become totally abstinent usually enjoy improvement in other
life areas, particularly as the period of reduced consumption
becomes more extended.

MIND ZONE
CBT FOR ALCOHOLISM
(1) the identification and modification of beliefs that exacerbate cravings,
(2) the amelioration of negative affective states (e.g., anger, anxiety, and hopelessness) that often trigger drug use,
(3) teaching patients to apply a battery of cognitive and behavioral skills and techniques, and not just willpower, to become and remain drug-free, and
(4) helping patients to go beyond abstinence to make fundamental positive changes in the ways they view themselves, their life, and their future, thus leading to new lifestyles.
