About the Course:
In the present article, they describe the protocol for a novel, integrated exercise intervention that combines motivational interviewing (MI) and contingency management (CM). Substance Use Disorders (SUD) are associated with psychiatric comorbidity, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and high rates of relapse. Exercise is associated with a wide range of acute and long-term benefits for both mental and physical health and is presently being investigated as a promising adjunctive treatment for SUD. The protocol seeks to address the challenges surrounding initiation and maintenance of an exercise program and physical activity at a level consistent with public health guidelines, particularly for sedentary patients.
This course is based on the reading-based online article, Exercise As an Adjunctive Treatment for Substance Use Disorders-Rationale and Intervention Description created by Jeremiah Weinstock, Ph.D in 2018.
