About The Seminar
Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to Help People Overcome
Irrational Drinking / Drugging
Substance abuse treatment is in high demand today as people
of all ages are discovering a plethora of ways to abuse
themselves with substances. However, often, the client
actually does not have a substance abuse problem.
Their actual problem is their motivation to use the
substances irrationally. Many mental health
professionals learn to suggest to their clients that they
have a "substance use disorder" and that their use of
substances is necessarily problematic. Meanwhile, the
client believes he or she does not have a problem.
Why? Because they have no goals that their drinking /
drugging interferes with.
This important seminar will teach the mental health
professional how to help their clients to rid themselves of
their motivation to use alcohol / drugs. Attendees
will learn how to engage their clients with what they really
want, and how to use that motivation to help the client
change and maintain their change (read get bettter).
Attendees will learn how to help their clients correct
cognitions that lead to substance-abusing behavior and how
to help their clients maintain that change. Powerful
behavioral technqiues will be presented to create and
maintain behavioral and cognitive change.

1. Identify at least two underlying physical
problems that drive people to drink / drugs
