Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
This is often used to treat addictions as it can help clients
understand the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours that lead to
substance abuse and how to change them. The therapist helps
the patient identify problematic patterns of thinking, develop
coping strategies, and learn new skills to manage stress and
prevent relapse.
Motivational Interviewing (MI):
MI is a counselling style designed to elicit and strengthen motivation
for change. It is often used with clients who are ambivalent or
resistant to change. MI involves empathetic listening and avoids
confrontation, instead encouraging individuals to talk about their
own reasons for change and their plan for accomplishing it.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT):
DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on the
psychosocial aspects of treatment. It is used to treat severe and
chronic disorders, including substance use disorder. DBT teaches
clients four sets of behavioural skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance,
emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Contingency Management (CM):
CM uses positive reinforcement to encourage sobriety. Clients
are rewarded for abstaining from drugs or alcohol, often through
vouchers or prizes.
12-Step Facilitation Therapy:
This approach is commonly used with groups such as Alcoholics
Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). It’s a type of
talk therapy that aims to encourage acceptance of addiction
as a chronic, relapsing illness requiring lifelong abstinence and
participation in recovery groups.
Family and Couples Therapy:
Substance abuse doesn’t only affect the individual struggling with
addiction, but also their family and partners. Involving family and
significant others in therapy can help address relational issues related
to the addiction and improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies:
Techniques such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
(MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
can help individuals become more aware of their thoughts
and feelings without becoming overwhelmed by them.
This can be particularly useful for managing cravings and
reducing the risk of relapse
Matrix Model:
This is a multi-faceted therapeutic approach designed
for treatment of stimulant addiction. It combines various
therapeutic techniques including cognitive-behavioural
therapy, family education, individual counselling, and
12-step support.
Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA):
CRA is a cognitive-behavioral program that emphasizes
the role of environmental contingencies in encouraging
or discouraging drinking or drug use. It seeks to rearrange
these contingencies so that clean and sober behaviour is
more rewarding than using substances.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT):
SFBT focuses on finding solutions in the present time
and exploring one’s hope for the future to find quicker
resolution of one’s problems. This approach assumes that
the patient is the expert and helps them to construct a
concrete vision of a preferred future for themselves.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
ACT uses strategies of mindfulness, acceptance of
emotional experience, and commitment to personal values
to help individuals overcome substance abuse.
Narrative Therapy:
This approach helps individuals to reframe their life story
in a more positive light, which can help them to overcome
obstacles such as substance abuse.
Art Therapy
In art therapy, individuals are encouraged to express their
thoughts and feelings through creative activities. This can be
particularly useful for those who struggle to articulate their
experiences verbally.
