A novel, highly interactive, web course on the skills of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is available to substance abuse counselors and supervisors as part of a National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded study by the New England Research Institutes (NERI), the Addiction Technology Transfer Center of New England (ATTC-NE) and the addictions center at the Boston University School of Social Work.

The web course is free to participating agencies whose counselors and supervisors sign up.

The web course has exercises that counselors can use with clients, homework assignments that help clients use what they learned in sessions, and 8 instructional modules on motivating substance abusing clients, conducting a structured assessment, preventing relapse, using CBT with HIV+ clients, and helping clients with other life problems.

Because this is part of a research study, counselors and supervisors taking the web course will be asked to answer periodic questionnaires and submit other kinds of information.

Upon completing the web course, participants are eligible for 16 CEC's. Priority will be given to agencies with multiple counselors seeking training.
