The Ways That Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Can Help With Addiction

Sep 25, 2017

Drug addiction can create a powerful hold on a person's life that can seem impossible to escape. However, cognitive behavioral therapy can break that grip and help you get back on your feet in a new sober lifestyle.


Create New And Positive Coping Mechanisms

Drug addiction creates a pattern of use that is hard to escape. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps break that cycle by interrupting it at the source and instilling new patterns of behavior.


Often, drug use is a coping mechanism for many, but cognitive behavioral therapy will create new ways of coping with the stress of life that are more positive and beneficial. These methods include yoga, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques.


Decrease Anxiety And Depression

Drug addiction and depression typically walk hand-in-hand together. Cognitive behavioral therapy can identify harmful and negative thought patterns, discover where they began, and find ways to create new alternative thinking methods.


For example, if a person addicted to drugs thinks “my addiction makes me worthless,” cognitive behavioral therapy can replace that thought with “I am a powerful and wonderful person” and reinforce it with positive and constructive ideas.


Give A Powerful Support System

When undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy, those who are addicted to drugs will work with a therapist to create new and practical methods of living their life. They will learning how to manage stress, master new relaxation techniques, and meet people who understand their pain.


In this way, they can create a support system that walks them through the rigors of recovery. If you or someone you love could benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, please don't hesitate to contact us today to learn more.
