UNDERSTANDING CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Simply put, CBT is a type of mental health counseling where the focus is on assisting the addict to realize the connection between their feelings, thoughts, and actions. Once realized, they work together with cognitive behavioral therapists to replace negative thought patterns with positive, healthier ones, resulting in a positive behavior change.
The main focus of CBT is to help those battling substance abuse realize how their feelings and thoughts affect their addiction and how these can be changed to lead to recovery and prevent relapse. Such negative thought patterns are derived from misconceptions or internalized feelings of fear, guilt, shame, or self-doubt. To avoid, escape, or numb such thoughts and feelings, the individual turns to drugs or alcohol.
However, by participating in CBT, addicts get to focus on their thoughts and feelings, identifying negative patterns. Through the use of different techniques, they can explore common scenarios or themes in their lives that cause stress or anxiety and work with therapists to come up with coping strategies to deal with them.
CBT is considered an effective problem-focused, short-term therapeutic approach that produces quick results that can be seen in as little as 12-16 therapy sessions. It’s also a versatile and adaptable therapy method that can fit well into various drug or alcohol addiction treatment programs and can be used in both group and individual counseling.
The goals of CBT include:
- Recognizing negative and harmful thought patterns and feelings.
- Learning to identify and avoid addiction triggers.
- Learning healthy coping strategies using CBT techniques.

I would recommend this recovery center to my family and to all my loved ones. All the staff here is excellent. You could tell that the staff truly cared about each client that walked through the door here. They took the time to listen to you and to understand you. They were always there to help you in whatever way they could. Listening to the staff tell their stories of their own recovery helped me with my recovery. I can’t say enough positive things about this center. Please don’t hesitate to call them.

Great facility I highly recommend. Great staff all around who really care for you. Excellent food and small groups that are all supportive of each other's recovery. Loved my time here!
My experience at Findlay was absolutely AMAZING! All of the staff, nurses, Doctors, and patients were amazing. I will always keep Findlay close to my heart and I'm internally grateful for everything they have done for me. Not to mention the food is BOMB for every meal. I 100% recommend this facility to anyone seeking help!
My stay at FRC was more than i could imagine. my detox process was very well maintained by the staff. the staff was more than helpful, the other clients were very helpful and gave a lot of support as well as the staff gave tremendous support.
I've been to 3 treatment centers, and I was scared going to my third one here at Findlay but I was finally ready to get clean and stay clean. Findlay made me comfortable, especially during detox, and gave me the push I wasn't going to give myself. The groups made a huge impact on my recovery and the information I have learned will stick with me forever. At Findlay, every single other person here starting their journey with me I connected with and never felt alone.
LEARN ABOUT CBT TECHNIQUES
What Techniques Are Used in CBT?
There are various techniques that cognitive behavioral therapists use to help those with substance abuse addiction to understand their thought patterns, learn coping mechanisms and change for the better.
These include:
Exposure therapy
This CBT technique is ideal for helping an individual learn to overcome their fears and address their phobias. The therapist creates a safe space and slowly exposes you to things or situations that provoke fear, anxiety, or stress. From your reaction, they can guide you on how to cope and deal with these emotions, instead of reaching for drugs or alcohol. Facing your fears builds confidence and makes you feel less vulnerable in triggering situations.
Role playing
Another effective technique is role playing. Here you act out different scenarios that you might encounter in your daily life. These are mostly situations where you feel stressed or out of control. As you play out these scenarios, your therapist will point out your common reaction patterns while suggesting better ones. As a result, you’ll learn to alter your behavior, becoming more assertive and confident over time. This in turn helps you reduce dependency on addictive substances to get through stressful situations.
Cognitive restructuring
Using this CBT technique, your therapist will ask you questions about different scenarios and your thoughts, feelings, or reactions to them. Your response will help them identify problematic thought patterns. Once they make you aware of these, you work together to reshape these patterns into healthier, more productive ones.
Journaling
Writing down your thoughts can come in handy in helping you identify common patterns. Your therapist may ask you to keep a record of all the negative or troubling thoughts you’ve had between sessions then you’ll work together to find more positive ones you can choose instead. Journaling your new thoughts and feelings, compared to your previous troubling ones is a great way for you to keep track of the changes and growth you make as your recovery progresses.
Stress Reduction Techniques
Stress, anger, depression, and other negative emotions contribute greatly to addiction. Feeling overwhelmed by such emotions can lead you to self-medicate using drugs or alcohol in an attempt to escape or numb them. Learning and practicing stress reduction techniques, such as breathing exercises can help you gain control of these emotions while reducing stress and tension. For instance, if you find yourself losing your temper or panicking, take a time out and practice tensing and relaxing different muscle groups or concentrating on your breathing. Eventually, you’ll come down enough to react rationally to the situation you’re facing.
Activity Scheduling
To keep you motivated during your recovery and in life, your therapist may ask you to incorporate healthy and positive activities into your routine. These not only break up the monotony of a regular routine but also give you something positive to look forward to. These activities can also serve as a source of excitement or a reward for meeting certain goals or for consistently choosing better behavior. The positive, upbeat emotions they induce are a great way to counter negative thought patterns and feelings.
