Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD) Counselling:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing (MI): A collaborative conversation style aimed at strengthening a person’s motivation and commitment to change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Integrates elements of CBT with mindfulness techniques, emphasizing acceptance and change simultaneously.
Relapse Prevention Strategies: Techniques and skills to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and prevent relapse.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Utilizes medications alongside counseling and behavioral therapies to address substance use disorders effectively.
Each of these models and tools plays a crucial role in tailoring treatment to individual needs, promoting lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
However, the best approach depends on the client's needs, preferences, and the specific issues they are facing. A well-trained counsellor should be able to assess these factors and either apply such Models effectively or integrate its elements into a broader therapeutic framework as needed.
