Research shows a strong correlation between attachment, substance use disorders (SUD), and co-occurring disorders (COD). Implications for treatment show that assessing insecure attachment styles can lead to increased positive outcomes; however, addressing attachment is often left out of SUD treatment. Emotional Attachment Behavioral Therapy (EABT) is a model gaining notoriety in the behavioral health field for quickly getting to the root of attachment issues, and this approach can improve overall treatment outcomes with SUD and COD by addressing underlying attachment issues. This presentation will show the history and relevant research associated with attachment theory and the connection between insecure attachment styles and SUD/COD. It will also review the primary objectives of EABT, including assessing insecure attachment styles and understanding core attachment stressors. Practitioners using the EABT model work with clients to cultivate these primary objectives while creating a more secure therapeutic relationship. This presentation will also demonstrate the diversity of populations that this foundational model is being applied towards. It will also have all participants experience taking the attachment style quiz for themselves and discussing the relevance to their lives and work.
