Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Program

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a proven therapeutic method that helps individuals deal with addictions, manage their emotions better, and address related mental health issues. At Faith Recovery, DBT is a part of our cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered by our skilled team that helps patients find balance in their lives, build effective coping skills, and develop healthier habits for lasting recovery.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical behavioral therapy is a type of therapy designed for people who experience strong emotions and may engage in risky behaviors. This approach focuses on finding a balance between accepting oneself as they are and making positive changes in their life.

A study revealed that 92% of participants with bipolar disorder reported only minimal or mild depression after 12 weeks of DBT-based therapy, compared to 42% in the control group.

DBT teaches practical skills in four main areas:

1. Mindfulness: This involves becoming more aware of your thoughts and feelings without judging them.
2. Distress tolerance: This helps individuals deal with tough situations and manage emotional pain better.
3. Emotional regulation: This aims to minimize extreme mood swings and make emotions easier to handle.
4. Interpersonal effectiveness: This focuses on improving communication and building better relationships with others.

Why DBT Works in Addiction Recovery

Addiction often emerges from difficulties in managing stress, intense emotions, and complicated relationships.

DBT addresses these challenges by providing concrete tools to:

• Reduce impulsive actions that might lead to a relapse
• Break the harmful patterns of substance use
• Support long-term recovery by helping individuals manage their emotions better
• Encourage the development of healthier ways to cope, which improves the overall quality of life

By blending acceptance with practical strategies for change, DBT assists people in finding balance and achieving lasting recovery.
