SAT	BRT
Abstinence Goal	Moderation or reduction goal
Emphasis on skills that help you stop and stay stopped	Emphasis on developing skills that help you reduce the harm done by a particular behavior
Strategies to help you resolve the ambivalence of attaining and sustain abstinence	Strategies to help you know how-much-is-too-much for you and to how to get comfortable with the middle ground
Success is measured by number of completely abstinence days not only the number of consecutive days	Success is measure by increased overall life function or the acceptance that abstinence is right for you (when BRT is not working)
Abstinence can be achieved either by measuring step-by-step progress or the dramatic elimination of the destructive behavior	Reduction can be best achieved though making small steps that add up to large ones
