Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Main Concepts of CBT

A Better Today Recovery Services understands that you may not know what to expect in your therapy sessions. This uncertainty may even cause you to clam up and refuse to share. Know that anything said to master’s level therapists are protected by HIPAA Laws. Therapists at effective treatment centers take this part of treating patients seriously and understand that when you are ready to let the mental healing begin, we are ready to help you find mental peace. Comprehensive Functional Analysis: Properly diagnosing a patient’s co-occurring psychological problems and the severity of his or her addiction is an effective treatment centers’ first step. This process helps tailor the treatment plan for each patient. Addiction affects everyone differently, getting to the root of the problem is where the real healing begins. Developing Coping Skills: The patient needs to learn healthy coping mechanisms for moments of crisis and everyday stressors. Situations like a stressful day at work, a car breaking down and family reunions can trigger someone to use and abuse drugs or alcohol. ABTRS will provide you with lifelong solutions; we encourage long-lasting treatment methods that patients can practice every day. Relapse Prevention: Many patients who are eight months, or even two years sober, share their innate fear of relapsing. From the nightmares of using that feel all too real to seeing the drug store they use to get their drug of choice, relapse can feel like a haunting presence. Practicing and learning methods that provide confidence and strength is important. To make mistakes is only human and relapse should not come with guilt or shame, but room for growth and learning. Effective programs will help you feel confident in what you learned from drug and alcohol treatment programs.
