Skilled Abstinence Training

Unlike AA and the 12-step method, SAT is based on scientific research and the proven idea that people can learn to become self-reliant and abstinent though the development of life management skills. SAT is designed to empower you to live the life you want without undermining it with alcohol, drugs or other self destructive behaviors. SAT does not necessitate that you consider yourself diseased, powerless or that you need spirituality or a ìhigher powerî to attain a comfortable and stable abstinent relationship with alcohol and/or drugs.

The SAT is secular individualized private training or coaching directed toward the goal of abstinence from one or several substances and behaviors. It can be combined with the BRT program where you learn how to eliminate one substance or behavior while you are taught how to minimize the use of others. Dr. Kern will work with you personally and in complete confidentially and will co-construct with you a step-by-step program until you feel stable enough to proceed on your own. This will be no rubber stamped method but a one-of-a-kind solution. Dr. Kern, will work with you to acquire the skills and emotional motivation to abstain and feel comfortable with this decision.
