Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Substance Abuse Treatment (Adolescent). FBT includes more than a dozen treatments including management of emergencies, treatment planning, behavioral goals, contingency management skills training, communication skills training, child management skills training, job-getting skills training, financial management, self-control, stimulus control, home safety tours, and tele-therapy to improve session attendance. Therapies are consumer-driven and culturally sensitive. FBT’s goal is to result in positive outcomes in such areas as alcohol and drug use, depression, conduct problems, family dysfunction, and days absent from work/school. FBT is designed to be used with youth, multiple ethnicities, differing types of substance abuse (alcohol, marijuana, and hard drugs), and across genders. Drafts of standardized client record keeping forms and quality assurance may be customized to fit agency needs.
