There is evidence that dance/movement therapy (DMT) has positive outcomes for patients with various conditions when used either as a standalone therapy or when coupled with a gold standard modality such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This combined DMT/CBT has yet to be studied for patients struggling with alcohol and substance use disorders from a structured, manualized, implementation perspective. The current study outlines patient engagement and satisfaction with a 4-session DMT/CBT program at an inpatient addiction treatment facility. The 4-session manualized DMT/CBT protocol comprised “impulse inventory,” “studying impulses,” “subconscious movement,” and “body language.” Participants reported the most engagement in “studying impulses” and attended an average of 2.38 sessions during their time in treatment. Most patients reported receiving some (55%) or substantial (23%) benefit from the protocol. These findings lay the foundation to better optimize a DMT/CBT protocol for patients struggling with alcohol and substance use disorders. However, about a quarter of patients received no benefit from the group (23%), highlighting known barriers to DMT in general. Findings can help small inpatient facilities utilize information toward next steps of optimizing a DMT/CBT protocol.

使用实施方法在住院药物使用环境中研究舞蹈/运动疗法 (DMT) 和认知行为疗法 (CBT) 联合方案

有证据表明，舞蹈/运动疗法（DMT）作为独立疗法或与认知行为疗法（CBT）等黄金标准疗法结合使用时，对患有各种疾病的患者具有积极的效果。这种 DMT/CBT 组合尚未从结构化、手动化、实施的角度对患有酒精和药物滥用障碍的患者进行研究。当前的研究概述了住院成瘾治疗机构的 4 期 DMT/CBT 项目的患者参与度和满意度。 4 个疗程的手动 DMT/CBT 协议包括“冲动清单”、“学习冲动”、“潜意识运动”和“肢体语言”。参与者表示“学习冲动”参与度最高，在治疗期间平均参加了 2.38 次课程。大多数患者报告从该方案中获得了一些（55%）或实质性（23%）的益处。这些发现为更好地优化患有酒精和药物滥用障碍的患者的 DMT/CBT 方案奠定了基础。然而，约四分之一的患者 (23%) 没有从该组中获益，这凸显了 DMT 的已知障碍。研究结果可以帮助小型住院机构利用信息来优化 DMT/CBT 方案的后续步骤。
