Summary

This trial tests a 12-session cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people with substance use who also struggle with anxiety or depression. The therapy focuses on improving emotion regulation—the ability to understand and manage emotions—which may reduce addictive behaviors. Researchers will compare this approach to standard treatment in 60 participants receiving inpatient or outpatient care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a 12-session cognitive-behavioral therapy adapted from the Unified Protocol
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective psychological treatment for people struggling with both addiction and emotional disorders.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy requires 12 sessions, which may be difficult for some to complete.
