Intervención psicoterapéutica en caso clínico relacionado al síndrome de dependencia por múltiples drogas

Abstract

Abstract: The present clinical case covers the problems of an adolescent, who receives outpatient treatment at a rehabilitation center, for problems related to recurrent depressive disorder and multiple drug dependence syndrome. In the evaluation process, tests suchas the Beck Depression Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety, Barrat Impulsivity and ASSIST V3.0 were used. A psychological intervention was carried out using the cognitive-behavioral model that included techniques focused on the modification of thoughts and behaviors associated with depression and drug use. The main results showed a better mood, a notable reduction in consumption, high self-esteem, self-control and adequate ability to communicate assertively and make decisions. In addition, a life project was generated that allowed her to improve her interaction with her environment and her quality of life, inside and outside the institution, to prevent possible relapses.
