What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
First developed in the 1960s, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and extensively researched treatment methods for substance use disorders and other mental health disorders. 1 In fact, “research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life.”2 CBT targets three main issues commonly associated with addiction:1
- Automatic thoughts
- Underlying beliefs
- Cognitive distortion
CBT for addiction is goal-oriented, structured, and intended to help the patient learn to identify unhealthy thoughts/behaviors.1
How Does CBT Work in Tennessee?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for substance use disorders revolves around efforts to change a patient’s unhealthy thinking patterns. CBT sessions with a trained professional might include:2
- Facing your fears (and stop avoiding them)
- Learning to relax your body and calm your mind
- Recognizing and reevaluating your distorted thinking
- Developing confidence
- Learning problem solving skills to cope with difficult/stressful situations
CBT for addiction also often includes “homework” like a variety of exercises that encourages patients to help develop and practice the above skills on their own.2 Although often conducted one-on-one with a therapist, CBT sessions can also include a patient’s family, partner, and community.3
CBT Is Based on Brain Science
More people are recognizing how emotions, beliefs, and thoughts are interconnected and how they affect behaviors and influence outcomes. The science of the brain has confirmed the idea that Dr. Beck turned into the foundation of CBT.
The neuroplasticity of the brain means that it can change. Over time, the structures within the brain can become altered, whether due to addiction and the effects of drugs or due to effective treatments such as CBT, which is based on evidence and what science understands about the plasticity of the brain.
CBT is very effective for treating numerous conditions that range from anxiety and PTSD to addiction. CBT can be used to address co-occurring disorders so that a mental health condition and addiction are treated simultaneously in a coordinated approach.
In programs that use CBT for addiction treatment, real change can happen in a relatively short period of time by anchoring the treatment plan in proven science and a person-centered philosophy.

What Is CBT Used to Treat in Tennessee?

- Anxiety disorders.
- Depression,
- Eating disorders.
- Personality disorder.

How Does Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Treatment Work?
CBT for addiction treatment is effective because of the way all the elements work in concert. Some things to know about what makes CBT work so well are outlined below. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is:
- Goal-oriented – Goals, along with clear steps to reach them, are critical to helping people in early recovery step through those first hours, days, and weeks.
- All about the present moment – Living in the present is a great way to shrug off the weight of perceived failures and negative self-beliefs.
- Generally time-limited (24-48 sessions on average) – This is appealing to many people in recovery because the end goal is always in sight.
- Able to bring about change in thoughts, behavior, and mood, and is very helpful with co-occurring mood disorders – Mental and emotional shifts can be profoundly liberating and catalysts for growth.
- Used in a group or in individual therapy with equally positive outcomes – The flexibility of CBT in a rehab setting is a real plus.
- A key component in your ability to manage triggers and reduce the risk of relapse – The purpose of rehab is to avoid relapse, even though relapse is a normal part of recovery. CBT treatment increases the likelihood of long-term positive recovery outcomes.

The Fundamentals of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Addiction
CBT creates the opportunity for individuals to bring about meaningful changes in their quest for addiction recovery. Cognitive-behavioral therapy:
- Is goal-oriented, with specific focus on identifying and transforming false, damaging beliefs and harmful thoughts
- Emphasizes the now and helps eliminate dread, remorse, and fear, all of which result from focusing on what is past or what has yet to come and which bring about reactive, non-productive actions and behaviors such as drug abuse
- Brings about transformation in thoughts, feelings, behavior, and even mood—which can help with depression and other co-occurring mood disorders
- Is effective in both individual therapy and group therapy
- Helps you recognize and manage triggers and reduce your risk of relapse
If you are suffering from the disease of addiction, you can unlearn self-destructive habits and ideas about yourself. CBT can help you replace them with a healthier outlook, faith in yourself, and new ways of being.
