What are some reasons that may suggest that CBT is not right for substance-use disorders?
- standard CBT teaches avoidance, despite avoidance and control being poor coping strategies
- if clients are asked to focus on their ability to tolerate cravings while being exposed to drug cues: they should learn that they can tolerate cravings in the absence of use; and cue exposure should also render drug cues less able to elicit cravings.
