Overall, DBT-SUD is a principle-driven and flexible treatment approach for individuals with BPD and co-occurring SUD that is comprehensive, in that the treatment modalities include: 1) individual therapy to enhance patient motivation and develop strategies for targeting problem behavior; 2) group skills training to enhance acquisition of behavioral and cognitive skills; 3) telephone consultation to promote generalization of skills to the patient's natural environment; 4) therapist consultation team to reduce therapist burnout; 5) pharmacotherapy approaches; and 6) case management strategies.
