DBT-SUD is the final module in the DBT series and will provide participants with an understanding of how DBT-SUD can assist individuals with substance use disorders who have co-occurring borderline personality disorder, emotion dysregulation, or a history of relapse. The presenter will discuss the incidence of co-occurring BPD and SUD, along with information on suicide risk when BPD and SUD co-occur.
This workshop addresses some common therapy-interfering behaviors and teaches how the DBT-SUD model suggests helping to distinguish these behaviors.
Lynne Rosenberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor in Durango, Colorado. She grew up and lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin until 2015, where she was licensed as a substance abuse counselor. During her graduate studies (MS in Community Psychology/Counseling from Alverno College), Lynne developed a passion and interest in applying Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to the substance use disorder population (DBT-SUD). Lynne believes that the emotion dysregulation issues regularly seen with individuals struggling with substance use disorders are often overlooked in traditional SUD treatment and that the skills that DBT offers can be the missing piece when frequent relapses have occurred.
Since 2015, Lynne has lived and worked in southwestern Colorado, where she has continued her DBT and DBT-SUD education and experience. Lynne has developed and facilitated DBT-SUD skills groups within a community mental health setting and has now started her own practice which focuses on DBT and DBT-SUD.
Certificates of attendance will be emailed to all participants who attend the training in full.
