What is the theory behind this substance use CBT worksheet?
Cognitive behavioural therapy is frequently utilised in the treatment of addiction. People receiving treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD) are taught how to use CBT to make connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to become more conscious of how these factors affect recovery.
How will the worksheet help?
A person who is addicted is better able to beat their addiction when they comprehend why they feel or act a specific way and how those sentiments and actions lead to substance usage. The worksheet will provide client insight on how the substance use cycle is maintained and how thoughts lead to cravings.
How to use the worksheet?
