Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Addiction Treatment
Rewiring thought patterns. Rebuilding lives.
At Oasis Treatment Centers, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a foundational part of our
evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders. CBT helps individuals
understand the powerful connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—and
how reshaping that connection can lead to long-term recovery.
What Is CBT?
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented form of talk therapy that teaches clients how to identify and challenge negative thinking patterns that lead to harmful behaviors, like substance use. Instead of focusing solely on the past, CBT empowers individuals to take control of their current thinking and develop healthier, more constructive responses to life’s challenges.
How CBT Supports Addiction Recovery
Addiction often develops as a way to escape difficult thoughts, emotions, or trauma.
CBT helps clients:
CBT is one of the most well-researched and proven therapies for treating addiction, anxiety, depression, and other co-occurring mental health conditions. It is especially effective in helping clients prevent relapse by teaching them how to respond to triggers in healthier ways.
