Honored to have my commentary featured in the Orlando Sentinel this past Sunday. Substance use disorders are complex health conditions, not personal failings. To truly support those suffering—and the co-occurring issues that accompany them—we must move beyond the current approaches as the only standard of care. It is time to prioritize compassionate, evidence-based methods like CBT and related therapies, and programs like SMART Recovery as options.

Substance use disorders are rarely, if ever, isolated concerns. Substance use is often a response to unaddressed mental health challenges, trauma, and unmet needs, and should be treated as such.

The goal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is to reduce the negative or unhelpful thoughts and behaviors common in those who experience depression by helping people change how they think.
