Using Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) Wednesday, December 20, 2017 @ 3:00 - 4:00 pm ET (2 CT/1 MT/12 PT) Description: Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been shown to be useful in the treatment of addictive disorders. Through ACT clients are taught to accept feelings rather than escaping them, moving toward values rather than toward suffering. Introducing patients to these principles can be done early in drug and alcohol treatment setting the tone for ongoing therapy. This workshop will demonstrate practical techniques that can be used in any therapeutic setting.
