RESOLVING THE UNDERLYING CAUSES
OF SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE
We train substance misuse practitioners in the expert delivery of psycho-social interventions. This allows them to work with people to identify and address the underlying psychological drivers of their dependence on alcohol or drugs.
Our psychologists have also been instrumental in the development of Breaking Free Online, a pioneering web-based treatment programme for problem alcohol and drug use. This can be used independently or as computer-assisted therapy.
“Innovative computerised treatment programmes like Breaking Free Online can potentially transform the way substance misuse is tackled.”DR LINDA HARRIS
