Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study is to generate a psychotherapeutic intervention plan with a cognitive-behavioral approach in a case of a 23-year-old patient with a mental and behavioral disorder caused by dependence on psychotropic substance use, which has caused individual and social difficulties such as family instability, deterioration in his academic and work performance, among others; this has led him to be currently in a state of abstinence since he is hospitalized in a protected environment "CETAD". In order to carry out the intervention, a therapeutic plan was proposed, which began with a process of clinical observation, evaluation and diagnosis. As a result, it was identified that there are individual, family and environmental factors that influence the onset of substance use and subsequent development of the disorder as such. In the case study, the implementation of the psychotherapeutic intervention program with a cognitive-behavioral approach was effective in reducing consumption, generating coping strategies and improving the patient's lifestyle.
