DBT for Substance Abuse

Site proposing the use of DBT skills to help with addictive behaviors and recovery. Here’s a quick snip:

Our goal is to help facilitate adoption of DBT in the “recovery” community by providing resources, community features and detailed information and lessons. We based our content on Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques and skills, addressed to people with impulse problems such as compulsive gambling, alcoholism, overeating, compulsive shopping and others.

DBT, a psychological approach, based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness. It’s been used quite successfully for over a decade to treat serious Personality Disorders. In recent years, therapists and clinics have been adapting DBT to treat a wide range of issues, including addictions and impulse disorders.
