This 3-hour introductory workshop is designed to provide an overview of DBT treatment with substance abusing clients who also have Borderline Personality Disorder or other emotional/behavioral dysregulation disorders. Sometimes standard substance abuse treatment models and the 12-step program are not enough to help a client get into recovery when they also have significant high risk mental health symptoms and behaviors. The participant will come away from this workshop with the knowledge of what DBT is, how it has been adapted for substance abuse, and some specific concepts and strategies they can incorporate into their practice immediately.
