Change is possible and stick with it, even if you have setbacks. You know, brainstorm what might be the barriers, you know, could there be something you didn't expect that would throw a monkey wrench in your plans...
Ever wondered if there's a way to reduce the risks associated with substance use without quitting entirely? Dr. Mark Prince dives into this very topic on 'The Addiction Psychologist'. He sheds light on Protective Behavioral Strategies (PBS), which are methods designed to lessen the harms of substance use. These strategies can include simple actions like drinking water between alcoholic beverages or more complex plans like setting limits and avoiding risky situations. Dr.
Prince, an Associate Professor at Colorado State University, shares his extensive research on the effectiveness of these strategies and their application in both clinical and everyday settings. While PBS offer promising ways to enhance health outcomes, they come with their own set of challenges, such as individual variability and measuring their effectiveness. Tune in to hear Dr. Prince discuss these challenges and provide practical advice for anyone looking to reduce the risks associated with substance use.
