Abstract

 This research paper aim to identify effective cognitive-behavioral therapy for Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) due to their alarming increase globally. The study methodology involved a comprehensive search in databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and PsychInfo for indexed therapies recommended by the American Psychological Association (APA) in their clinical practice guidelines. The results indicate that Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Therapy, and Relapse Prevention  are the most effective interventions for individuals struggling with addiction. Substance use disorders not only impact the individual's psychological well-being but also have broader psychosocial implications for society. The findings underscore the importance of implementing cognitive-behavioral therapies to address the rising prevalence of SUDs and enhance the overall performance of individuals across various levels. This research contributes valuable insights for practitioners and underscores the significance of evidence-based interventions in the treatment process.
