The Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use Adult (CBI-SUA) curriculum is designed for individuals that are moderate to high need in the area of substance abuse and well suited for criminal justice populations. The curriculum can be delivered as a stand-alone, outpatient substance abuse intervention, or incorporated into a larger program (e.g., residential treatment). As the name of the curriculum suggests, this intervention relies on a cognitive-behavioral approach to teach participants strategies for avoiding substance abuse. The program places heavy emphasis on skill building activities to assist with cognitive, social, emotional, and coping skill development. Such cognitive-behavioral strategies have routinely demonstrated high treatment effects.
The training includes introduction of material, demonstration of sessions, and practice with feedback.
Participants must attend all days of training in order to be certified to deliver the curriculum.
Targeted Staff:
Current or future group facilitators in a correctional setting who serve clients with a substance abuse need.
Pre-Requisites:
Basic understanding of cognitive-behavioral concepts/interventions and group facilitation.
Cost: NONE (Free)
