Evaluation
CBT is a proven treatment option for people with SUDs, but it’s not the right approach for everyone.

Boca Recovery Center always customizes care to help people recover.

Learning
Therapists at Boca Recovery Center have received extensive training in CBT techniques to help clients discover the power of positive thoughts. CBT works by increasing a person’s awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and actions, as well as the consequences of their actions. This helps recovering individuals to better understand how the three are interconnected and how they lead to substance abuse.

FAQs
What is cognitive behavioral therapy?
CBT is a research-based, result-oriented treatment with a practical approach to problem-solving. It addresses the root cause of addiction (unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors).
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
CBT exercises involve revisiting painful emotions and learning positive behaviors to replace them. The idea is to teach skills, so the recovering individual does not need to rely on alcohol or drugs as a coping mechanism. The goal is to help recovering individuals gain control over unwanted thoughts and emotions. This can reduce relapse risk.
Does CBT help with co-occurring disorders?
Underlying mental health issues, including anxiety and depression, can complicate SUD recovery. For many people, CBT offers insights about the interplay between mental health and substance use. It makes healing possible.
Does Boca Recover Center offer cognitive behavioral therapy?
Yes. CBT is part of the toolkit offered to clients at Boca Recovery Center. Our therapists help clients develop skills to identify and interrupt negative thoughts. Recovering individuals learn to anticipate triggers and develop the self-control to cope with them.
