Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Substance Use Disorders (CBT-SUD) is an evidence-based “talk therapy,” or counseling treatment, proven effective in treating alcohol and other drug use. CBT-SUD helps people make and maintain changes in their substance use, better cope with cravings and urges, and improve skills related to alcohol and other drug use, including skills for managing mood, improving communication, and solving problems.
