Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for
Substance Use Disorders and Addictive Behaviors
A workshop offered at the Annual Meeting of the Research Society on Marijuana (RSMj)
Fort Collins, Colorado – July 28-29, 2017
This workshop provides participants the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in cognitivebehavioral therapy (CBT) for substance use disorders (SUDs) and addictive behaviors. We focus on five essential
components of individual and group CBT: structure, collaboration, case conceptualization, psychoeducation, and
techniques. We also present ethics issues that are particularly salient when working with people with addictions.
