Our team is committed to delivering the best possible care and support to our clients, and we recognize CBT as a critical element in attaining long-term recovery.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thinking and behavior patterns. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected, and that by changing one, we can influence others. CBT is a highly structured form of therapy that involves setting goals, tracking progress, and actively working to change negative thoughts and behaviors.
How does CBT work?
CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected. When we have negative thoughts, it can lead to negative feelings and behaviors. For example, if someone is struggling with addiction, they may have negative thoughts such as “I can’t do this” or “I’ll never be able to quit.” These thoughts can lead to feelings of hopelessness and despair, which can in turn lead to behaviors such as drug or alcohol use.
CBT
In CBT, the therapist helps the individual identify and challenge these negative thoughts. They may use a variety of techniques, such as cognitive restructuring (changing the way we think about a situation), behavioral experiments (testing out new behaviors), and exposure therapy (confronting fears and anxieties).
CBT is a highly collaborative form of therapy, and the individual actively participates in the process. They are encouraged to set goals, track progress, and participate in homework assignments outside of therapy sessions. This active involvement is what makes CBT so effective.
How is CBT used in addiction recovery?
CBT is highly effective in treating addiction. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other forms of therapy or medication-assisted treatment. In addiction recovery, CBT is used to help individuals identify and challenge the negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to their substance use. It can also help them develop coping skills and strategies for cravings and triggers.
