Evaluación de la efectividad de un programa terapéutico integrativo en el tratamiento de consumo de sustancias en adultos. Revisión sistemática a partir de la experiencia práctica.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effectiveness of an integrative therapeutic program in treating problematic substance use in adults, through a systematic review based on practical experience and the analysis of a clinical case. It was identified that alcohol and cocaine use is associated with emotional, familial, and social factors, such as anxiety, unemployment, family conflicts, and poor coping skills. A review of recent scientific studies demonstrated that integrative interventions, especially those combining Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, emotion regulation, and motivational interviewing, lead to a significant reduction in substance use and relapse. Furthermore, the clinical case of J.A. provided insight into how substance use functions as a maladaptive strategy for coping with emotional distress. Finally, it is concluded that integrative therapeutic programs promote emotional recovery, strengthen personal skills, and improve the family, social, and occupational functioning of patients with substance use disorders. Furthermore, this study highlights the importance of developing individualized, evidence-based psychological interventions to promote more effective and sustainable rehabilitation processes in the adult population.
