Cognitive Behavioural-Spiritual Counselling Model (CBT-Spiritual) in Resiliency Enhancement for People with Substance Abuse Disorder
Drug abuse is increasingly concerning, requiring a rehabilitative approach through effective counselling by the Indonesian Government by strengthening drug prevention and eradication, because drug abuse in Indonesia is increasingly concerning and involves the participation of addiction counsellors in rehabilitation to improve the mental resilience of survivors. The lack of resilience of survivors contributes to relapse, while spirituality has been shown to improve mental resilience. The cognitive behavioural counselling model integrated with the spiritual dimension is a crisis counselling/treatment service oriented towards prevention, improvement, and self-development.
The cognitive behavioural spiritual counselling (CBT-Spiritual) model focuses on increasing the resilience of drug survivors in forming deep thoughts, spiritual mind, and awareness of life. This model integrates cognitive therapy with Islamic values, providing innovative solutions in religiosity-based addiction counselling to strengthen the resilience of drug survivors before and after rehabilitation. CBT-Spiritual applies in group and individual formats. As spiritual educators for clients, counsellors are tasked with fostering a spiritual mindset when implementing CBT-Spiritual.
The CBT-Spiritual stages include the Identification, intervention, and evaluation stages. The identification stage involves understanding the spiritual and emotional strength of drug survivors through resilience and spiritual assessments. The intervention involves a CBT-Spiritual approach integrated with spiritual values to change dysfunctional mindsets and increase resilience in the recovery process.
Finally, the evaluation stage consists of evaluating the impact of the intervention on survivor resilience with resilience measurement tools and relapse tendencies. The role of addiction counsellors in therapeutic relationships between humans (counsellors and clients) as an effort to help each other will change the client's dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs through the process of identification, evaluation, and modifying/replacing thoughts with assumptions and core beliefs from spiritual mindsets. CBT-Spiritual model can be applied with design and stages so that individuals can develop a spiritual perspective and increase resilience through training and experimental research.
