Introduction to the Program

This program provides a complete overview of addictions, analyzing their global situation, delving into the neurobiology of each one of them and proposing the best therapeutic strategies derived from the cognitive-behavioral approach" 

The phenomenon of drug dependence and addictions to different substances is a global public health problem that cannot be understood from a single perspective. Aspects such as the individual's standard of living, their educational possibilities and the context in which they develop usually have a direct impact on the development of these pathologies. However, this is not the only thing that takes sides in these cases, which makes their classification, approach and correct choice of treatment even more difficult.

At this juncture, cognitive-behavioral therapy offers an unprecedented space to rehabilitate the addicted patient through a certain regimen of routines and a correct follow-up. In this sense, and thanks to this therapeutic approach, a precise analysis of what the individual wants to do and what they actually do is achieved. Making them aware of the repercussions of their actions and encouraging a more solid rehabilitation.

But as cognitive-behavioral therapy has established itself as a truly effective approach to addiction, its perspectives, research and resources have also grown. For this reason, and in order to face this reality, it is necessary for the psychologist to keep up to date in order to be able to apply all these novelties to their daily practice, thus being able to make a more effective analysis of the biopsychosocial conditions that affect the patient and to choose the therapeutic strategies in a more precise way.
