How does Behavior Therapy Work?

Once you complete rehab, you’ll feel amazing. You’ll likely be very committed to your newfound sobriety. When you resume life outside of a treatment facility, how will you avoid relapse? The addiction behavior therapy you encountered during rehab is designed to help you do just that. Instead of relying on old, negative thoughts and behavior patterns, you’ll have learned a different way of dealing with anxiety and stress.

At Beaches Recovery, we strive to provide exceptional treatment to each client in our care. We offer a range of holistic and evidence-based treatments, such as dialectical behavior therapy, which we tailor to the needs of the clients. To learn more about the treatment options available, please contact Beaches Recovery today at 866.605.0532 or use our helpful online form.

How Addiction Behavior Therapy Works

Repeating the same behaviors gets you the same results. People battling addiction suffer adverse consequences. To overcome drug and alcohol dependency, they must learn healthier practices. That’s where behavior therapy comes in.

Various therapeutic approaches teach clients how to stop negative emotions before they get out of control. Instead of thinking the worst all the time, clients will learn to halt those all-or-nothing thoughts. They’ll begin to refocus.

It takes time to change ingrained behavior, but it is possible. With help from therapists who are trained to counsel people with addictions, clients will learn new thinking habits and behaviors that steer them away from destructive patterns.

Making Changes in Rehab

Someone may abuse alcohol because they don’t know how to cope with stress any other way. Another person tries to bury past trauma by using heroin.

The behavioral therapy used in rehab teaches positive ways to handle anxiety, depression, or everyday stress. Just because a person has reached for a bottle for years doesn’t mean she or he can’t learn different coping skills. In rehab, she or he gradually learns to monitor him or herself to recognize how and when cravings develop. Individuals also gain helpful strategies to cope with cravings.

By dealing with problems head-on and not escaping into addiction, people develop new patterns of behavior that are instrumental in recovery. They’ll realize how self-destructive drug and alcohol abuse is, and they’ll begin making positive choices.

Over time, they can achieve successful, long-term recovery that gives them freedom from addictive behaviors.
