What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that helps people understand how their thoughts influence their emotions and behaviors. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for addiction, depression, anxiety, and trauma because it provides practical tools you can use immediately. Unlike some therapies that focus primarily on past experiences, it emphasizes present-moment awareness and teaches specific skills to manage current challenges while building resilience for the future.
What makes CBT different from other types of therapy?
CBT is highly structured and focuses on specific, measurable goals rather than general exploration of feelings. Sessions include learning practical skills, completing exercises, and practicing techniques between appointments. Behavioral cognitive therapy emphasizes the present moment and future goals rather than spending extensive time analyzing past events. You’ll receive homework assignments, worksheets, and tools to practice new skills in real-world situations. This active, collaborative approach means you become your therapist over time, building confidence and independence in managing your mental health and sobriety.
How does CBT work in addiction recovery?
CBT helps you understand the thoughts and emotions that trigger substance use, then teaches you alternative ways to respond to these triggers. You’ll learn to identify high-risk situations, develop personalized coping strategies, and practice new behaviors in a safe therapeutic environment. Our therapists guide you through exercises like thought records, behavioral experiments, and relapse prevention planning. It also addresses underlying mental health conditions like depression or anxiety that often co-occur with addiction, providing comprehensive tools for lasting healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About our
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Program
Here’s what you need to know about getting started, staying supported, and what to expect from our CBT Program
What can I expect during CBT sessions at Abundance Treatment?
CBT sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, typically lasting 45–60 minutes. You’ll work with your therapist to set treatment goals, practice new skills, and apply them to real-life situations using worksheets and tools between sessions. Our supportive environment helps you explore thoughts and behaviors while building confidence in lasting change.
What if I'm not comfortable sharing personal details right away?
Your therapist understands that building trust takes time and will never pressure you to share more than you’re ready to discuss. CBT can begin with less personal topics while you develop comfort with the therapeutic relationship and process.
How long does CBT treatment typically take?
CBT is often a shorter-term therapy, with many people seeing progress in 12–20 sessions. At Abundance Treatment, we tailor the length to your needs and adjust as needed, knowing that many clients continue using CBT tools long after therapy ends.
What if I've been in therapy before and didn't find it helpful?
CBT’s structured, goal-oriented approach often appeals to people who found previous therapy too abstract or unfocused. Your therapist will explore what didn’t work before and tailor the CBT approach to address those specific concerns.
What is the difference between CBT and DBT?
While both CBT and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) focus on changing thoughts and behaviors, DBT places greater emphasis on emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. CBT primarily targets negative thought patterns and their connection to behaviors, while DBT incorporates mindfulness and acceptance strategies more extensively.
