'CBT Plus, with Alcohol and Substance Misuse' is a 3-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of training for professionals working in mental health and related areas in the UK and Ireland.
It is the only Alcohol and Substance Misuse training that is APT-accredited and also gives you access to APT’s relevant downloadable resources for use post-course. The course is available for teams and individuals and can be attended face-to-face or online. It can also be completed as part of the Extended Training in CBT course, or The APT Diploma in Working with common mental health diagnoses.
'Mood altering substances' have been around virtually since the dawn of time, so some people argue that there is every reason to accept them as part of everyday life. However, for some people, the maladaptive use of such compounds devastates their lives. Initially a pleasurable diversion, the substance in question may gradually acquire a dominant part in the person's life, insidiously wreaking havoc on relationships, finances and career, and threatening the very continuation of their lives. And it is a difficult process to reverse; hence the need for a structured and evidence-based approach from those who aim to help.
People who attend this course normally fall into one of two categories:
1. Professionals who see patients in 1:1 treatment settings, either in specialist substance misuse services or not, have a significant degree of clinical skill, and wish to increase their ability in working with alcohol and other mood altering substances.
2. 'Whole teams' (either in inpatient or community alcohol and substance misuse settings) seeking either to boost their level of expertise or to develop a common approach.
The professional affiliations of people attending this course include: mental health/psychiatric nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, probation officers and others.
You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining APT's Level 1 accreditation, and receive a certificate to this effect. The accreditation gives you access to online resources associated with the course and access to the online exam if you wish to uprate your APT accreditation to Level 2.
Your registration lasts indefinitely, and your accreditation lasts for 3 years and is renewable by sitting an online refresher which also upgrades your accreditation to APT Level 2 if you are successful in the associated online exam.
Your accreditation is given value by the fact of over 150,000 people having attended APT training. See APT accreditation for full details.

APT prides itself on the feedback we receive about our courses. Below are just some of the great comments the CBT Plus, with Alcohol and Substance Misuse course has received.
"Excellent, well-presented course with very good learning materials, relevant case studies, and a top class presenter."
"This is, without doubt, one of the most comprehensive and informative courses I have ever attended. It is certainly a practice I shall be utilising in my regular position. It was beautifully and openly presented and I feel will be something I shall not forget in a hurry. I would very much appreciate receiving another course should it come up."
