Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Atlanta, GA
We all know that when a person becomes addicted to a particular substance, they need the help of a rehab program to break the addiction cycle. But not everyone knows why it is so hard to conquer addiction. Addiction is so difficult to deal with because it is partly physical and partly behavioral. That is why different types of treatment are necessary to address different aspects of an addiction. One of the most effective types of treatment for addiction is known as cognitive behavioral therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify the negative patterns that develop in association with addiction and teaches them how to change these behavior patterns to more positive ones. Essentially, this means retraining your body to think and act differently, particularly in situations that would lead to substance abuse. In this way, clients learn how to deal with life without drugs or alcohol.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CTB) is a psychological treatment that works to correct patterns of behavior and to think to treat and help develop coping mechanisms for issues such as anxiety, depression, and substance use disorder, among other things. Many studies in both research and practice look at CBT and its effects, and the data suggest that CBT is one of the most effective forms of psychological therapy available. This is likely due to the core principles that the therapy is based on. For example, one of the core principles is that patterns of behavior are rooted in negative thought patterns that a person develops over time and due to outside influences. Negative or unhealthy thought patterns, in turn, lead to negative or unhealthy actions, which also turn into patterns.
The third principle is that by developing new ways of coping, you can break the negative thought and behavior cycle and learn more effective or positive ways to deal with issues a person may be having, such as episodes of anxiety, depression, or abusing substances.
The first step is always to identify these thought and behavior patterns so that once they are recognized, with the help of a licensed professional, the person can work to break the cycle and find new m, more healthy ways of dealing with the things that trigger these patterns in the first place.
At Atlanta Recovery Place, we understand the nature of habit and how retraining the mind and body is a difficult but necessary process. Our Georgia CBT program is there to help those in rehab overcome their pattern of addiction and learn new ways to live without drugs and alcohol.

How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work to Treat Addiction?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is performed by a certified treatment professional in a rehab setting. CBT is a multi-stage process in which the psychologist first works to identify your negative thought patterns or patterns of behavior. It can sometimes be hard to identify the fact that you are engaging in negative patterns, so the first step is always figuring out what they are and what triggers them. Most of the time, these patterns of behavior are precipitated by the actions of another person, past trauma, or as a reaction to stimuli. Additionally, a person can have mental health issues that make these patterns of behavior more difficult to deal with.
These negative thought and behavior patterns are how addiction develops. A person begins using drugs and alcohol to cope with bad thoughts, and this leads to a spiral where the only thing that matters is getting away from these negative thoughts and feeling through the use of drugs or alcohol. This is what we call ineffective coping mechanisms.
In addiction treatment, CBT is used to identify the behavioral patterns that lead to substance abuse and then gradually change them through therapy. Exercises focus on changing bad thought patterns into good ones, learning acceptance, and dealing with and managing stress. The psychologist or therapist then begins working on changing behavior patterns that a person has developed that may result in drug or alcohol use. This is especially important in terms of finding the triggers that lead to relapse. Making CBT a powerful tool in addiction recovery. Atlanta Recovery Place is here to help you out of your patterns of bad behavior and on to the road of recovery. Don’t let addiction win; get help today.
