LEARNING SOBRIETY TOGETHER (BCT) / BEHAVIORAL COUPLES THERAPY (LST) Consultation and Certificate Program Learning Sobriety Together (LST) is the umbrella term that is now used to capture not only Behavioral Couples Therapy (BCT) for alcoholism and substance abuse, but also all of its variations. General certificate programs are available for those interested in pursuing additional training without entering a formal degree program. The Certificate Program in LST provides extensive training in a model with over 25 years of well-documented empirical support and supplements that training with doctoral-level clinical supervision from a world renowned expert in the substance abuse field. The purpose of the Certificate Program in Learning Sobriety Together is to allow employed/experienced counselors to become officially trained and certified in LST by the leading proponents and disseminators of this approach: The Addiction and Family Research Group (AFRG). The AFRG is actively involved in the implementation and dissemination of LST in a number of clinics throughout New York State, and have given numerous presentations on LST throughout the United States and abroad.
Certificate programs are beneficial to many counselors for both personal and professional advancement. The LST Certificate Program is appropriate for any professional involved in delivering mental health services to couples and their families. The Certificate in LST is not intended as a diploma or degree that reflects the requirements of a particular governmental, private, or organizational agency. However, individuals earning the Certificate will receive an official written Certificate of Completion from the Addiction and Family Research Group, with the notarization from the leading expert in this approach, Dr. William Fals-Stewart. Curriculum Outline Training On-Line Training: For those wishing to obtain general information and background on LST for alcoholism and drug abuse, there is an on-line training course available: Behavioral Couples Therapy in Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Treatment In-Person Trainings: The AFRG offers a one- or a two-day training on LST. The One-Day In-Person Training is a 6-hour didactic presentation by Dr. Fals-Stewart or Dr. Klostermann on LST for alcoholism and drug abuse which uses videotaped materials to illustrate methods and techniques. The Two-Day In-Person Training consists of 12 hours of LST training. Day 1 consists of a 6-hour didactic presentation (i.e., the same material covered in the One-Day In-Person Training). Day 2 provides a more in-depth examination of the different elements of LST (e.g., Sobriety Contracting, Relationship Enhancement) and detailed information of variations of LST for different populations and settings (e.g., Abbreviated LST, Group-Based LST, Parent Skills Training plus LST for clients who have children). Providers and programs who initially receive the one-day training can get the second day of training for a fee as noted below. Supervision Cost The cost of the In-Person One-Day training is $3000.00 plus expenses (e.g., transportation, food, lodging). The In-Person Two-Day trainings are $2500.00 per day plus expenses. The cost of the In Person Two-Day Training plus Supervision described above is $7000.00 plus expenses. For groups over 100, add $500.00 a day for each group of fifty.
