Summary
This study tested a short, 11-session therapy program for adults in residential treatment for drug or alcohol problems. The therapy combined techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people handle difficult emotions and reduce cravings. 36 participants were split into two groups: one received the new therapy plus usual care, the other only usual care. Results showed improvements in emotion regulation and distress tolerance for those who received the extra therapy.
