Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program

DBT is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that therapists started using in the 1980s. Back then, professionals generally used it to help people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and chronic suicidal thoughts. Today, DBT helps people overcome a number of issues, including drug abuse and addiction.

This type of therapy can help treat several issues besides just addiction and BPD. For instance, studies show that dialectical behavioral therapy also works on people who inflict self-injury and sexual abuse victims.

The core goal of DBT is to help people with change and acceptance. When working with new patients, therapists have to get them to accept that they have a problem.

Next, they help patients acknowledge that change is the only way to reach sobriety. Dialectical behavioral therapy uses a number of skills to help balance change and acceptance. Some of these skills include:

• Distress tolerance
• Emotion regulation
• Mindfulness
• Interpersonal tolerance

Studies show that dialectical behavioral therapy is effective in helping people regulate emotions. Keeping emotions in check during rehab contributes to reaching full sobriety.
