Innovative Couple Therapy Training for Substance Use Disorder
January 29, 2025 - 22:28
Jeremiah Schumm, the director of clinical training at the School of Professional Psychology, is set to lead a training program aimed at equipping local clinicians with advanced skills in behavioral couple therapy specifically designed for individuals struggling with substance use disorders. This innovative approach recognizes the significant impact that relational dynamics can have on recovery and aims to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
The training will focus on integrating couple therapy techniques with traditional substance use treatment methods, allowing clinicians to address both individual and relational factors that contribute to addiction. By fostering healthier communication and support within couples, the program seeks to improve the likelihood of sustained recovery for those affected by substance use issues.
Schumm's expertise in the field positions him as a key figure in advancing therapeutic practices that consider the complexities of human relationships in the context of addiction. This initiative not only aims to enhance the skills of local clinicians but also aspires to create a supportive community for individuals facing the challenges of substance use.
