Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at Boca Recovery Center
CBT is a highly structured form of psychotherapy that helps people struggling with substance use disorders (SUDs).[1] During your sessions at Boca Recovery Center, your therapist breaks down the thoughts, feelings, and actions contributing to your addiction.
CBT sessions at Boca Recovery Center are conducted by highly experienced therapists who work like coaches, not professors. You’ll dig into the source of your SUD with someone who believes in you and your future.
Clients are encouraged to discuss irrational thoughts, negative emotions, and life stressors frankly. Our therapists can uncover useful, actionable strategies that bring about measurable results.
What to Expect
Evaluation
CBT is a proven treatment option for people with SUDs, but it’s not the right approach for everyone. Before adding this to your treatment protocol, your treatment team will learn more about your past, including your prior treatment attempts. 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.
