CBT and Detox

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Substance Abuse Treatment

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a therapeutic approach often used to treat substance use disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program is used to help individuals identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors that play a role in their substance use. By utilizing this technique, individuals who struggle with substance abuse and addiction can learn more effective ways to manage negative moods, urges, and cravings to manifest long-lasting positive results.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy, combines two therapeutic approaches, cognitive therapy, and behavioral therapy. Cognitive therapy focuses on understanding and changing present dysfunctional behaviors and thoughts rather than past experiences. Behavioral therapy seeks to treat mental disorders by identifying and changing self-deprecating and damaging behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Addiction Treatment

Cognitive-behavioral therapy, a problem-oriented therapy, helps people identify, understand and change dysfunctional behavior related to their problems. It is an evidence-based approach that is most effective for addiction recovery from alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Cognitive Therapy is not as effective for poly-substance abuse as some other therapy forms might be”?

In this type of therapy, while the past is considered, utmost importance is placed on identifying and modifying present dysfunctional patterns, behaviors, emotions, and thoughts that harm the patient’s well-being.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps identify the triggers for addiction, manage cravings and address problematic thoughts. During our CBT sessions, patients grow through learning relaxation techniques, social and communication techniques and are active participants at each stage.

There is nothing more important than the client-therapist relationship during Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at Avatar. A positive relationship between the therapists and the patients is essential to replacing dysfunctional thoughts with positive ones to improve their well-being. The patient and the therapist will develop strategies and a plan to help the patient modify damaging behaviors triggering or driving substance abuse. Together, taking these steps and making the necessary modifications to a patient’s behaviors will help the patient get on track for long-term recovery.
