Managing Intense Emotions for Recovery
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help you manage intense emotions and build skills for lasting recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people manage intense emotions and improve their relationships. It combines traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to help clients develop skills in four key areas.
DBT is particularly effective for treating addiction because it addresses the emotional and psychological factors that often drive substance use. Many people turn to drugs or alcohol to cope with overwhelming emotions, and DBT provides healthier alternatives.
At Surf City Detox in Huntington Beach, California, we incorporate DBT into our treatment programs to help our clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and achieve lasting recovery through personalized therapy sessions.
