Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Addiction

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for addiction helps individuals understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to substance use. It teaches coping strategies to challenge negative thinking patterns and develop healthier behaviors. By identifying triggers that lead to cravings or use, clients learn to manage stress and avoid high-risk situations. CBT focuses on practical skills to reinforce positive change and support recovery. It is often used alongside other treatments to provide a comprehensive approach to overcoming addiction and building a fulfilling life without substances.
