The results of the current study show that brief CBT is effective on psychiatric health, especially anxiety and sleep disorders, but not on patients’ depression, somatic symptoms, and social dysfunction. The researchers believe that in the future, brief CBT could aid psychiatrists and psychologists to control anxiety and sleep disorders. The short timeframe of the intervention used in the current study can increase the cooperation of the SUD patients; moreover, controlling anxiety by implementing brief CBT for SUD patients can improve their quality of life.
