Question:
For adults with an opiate addiction, how effective is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) compared with other or no intervention in improving any patient outcomes?
Answer:
Plain language
summary
Only one high quality research study has examined DBT for adults
with opiate addiction. This didn't produce any strong evidence for
the effectiveness of DBT in reducing opiate use, but the study was
too small to be able to make any clear judgements from it.
Clinical and research implications
No definite clinical or research implications can be made based
on the available evidence.
