 Why Does CBT Work?

This gives a person power over their life, even if certain external situations do not change, by changing the way you think and react to them, you can ultimately alter the way you feel and behave. A person can learn to change their behavior by learning and understanding why they behave a certain way. This can be especially useful in helping a person to learn how to deal with the triggers and cravings that might incite the desire to use drugs or alcohol.

Finding sobriety and maintaining it so that you can have a successful and long-lasting recovery can at many times be a difficult journey. Every person contending with an addiction is unique, each carries with them their own diverse set of experiences, emotions, perceptions and expectations—all things that shape both their addiction and their recovery journey in a way that is specific to them.

For these reasons, treatment also needs to be diverse—it needs to encompass an array of methods and practices that can apply to people in every walk of life, in every way that they might need, so they have the best chance towards a successful recovery. Therapy is one of the foundational elements of a good treatment program. It is something that helps to lend balance, strength and perspective to your life, while bridging the gap between the past, present and future. Therapy teaches you the skills that you need to overcome the stress, triggers, cravings and negative emotions that might threaten your sobriety.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), “Psychotherapy, also known as ‘talk therapy,’ is when a person speaks with a trained therapist in a safe and confidential environment to explore and understand feelings and behaviors and gain coping skills.” Psychotherapy contains different forms of therapy, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which has continuously shown great impact and lasting success within the field of addiction treatment.
