Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Why Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Help You Overcome Drugs & Alcohol?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a major component in substance abuse treatment at A Better Today. The foundation of this treatment method has been developed and perfected by some of the greatest minds in psychology. Proven to be an effective tool in treating drug and alcohol addictions, ABT utilizes this treatment method as a strong foundation to long term recovery.
CBT focuses on positive thought patterns, attitudes and beliefs about one’s self. Drug abuse tends to put the client in a negative mind space that breeds negative thoughts, intensifies feelings of guilt and shame, and encourages suicidal tendencies. ABT believes that there is potential in everyone that walks through our doors and bestowing the knowledge of CBT therapy can redirect the client’s mind toward positive thinking and long term goal setting.
Having a positive mindset about yourself and your recovery will help you through the hard times of your recovery. CBT provides procedures for adopting healthy coping mechanisms to handling stressful situations like cravings, triggers, and depression.
By educating people about the psychology of addiction and identifying triggers that could cause relapse, the client is given the tools to maintain sobriety throughout his or her entire life.
