Cognitive Behavioral Therapy And Addiction: A Powerful Healing Combination

Apr 20, 2017

Addiction is a serious physical and mental health concern that can lead to a variety of problems, including depression and anxiety. Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT can help beat it on its own terms.

The Nature Of CBT
CBT is a therapy method focused on changing negative bFehavior cycles that can devastate a person's life. The idea here is that people often think or behave in cycles that can be hard to break. CBT works to identify these cycles and find a way to disrupt them. Then it creates positive patterns to replace them.

How It Helps With Addiction
Addiction is both a physical and mental problem. With the help of detoxification, a person can eliminate the addictive substance from their system. While they'll always have some cravings for the substance, the hardest part of this process is eliminating the mental need for an addiction.

When a person uses a substance regularly, they come to rely on it mentally. Some people may even use them to treat serious mental health problems. Losing their substance in this way can be a very difficult situation that leads to depression, anxiety, and other serious concerns.

Managing The Anxiety And Depression of Addiction
Basically, CBT works on addiction by managing the anxiety and depression associated with the problem. It eliminates the need for self-treatment by creating positive coping methods that make it easier for a person to live their life without drugs. In this way, those can beat anxiety, depression, and addiction in one fell swoop.

If you are interested in learning more about CBT and how it can help you with anxiety, depression, or addiction, please contact us today.
