Under the expert guidance of Dr. Jeremy Mirabile, our Medical Director and board-certified addiction medicine physician, we help clients break free from the destructive thought patterns that fuel substance abuse.
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT is an evidence-based therapy that explores how our thoughts influence our emotions and actions. It focuses on identifying negative thought patterns that contribute to harmful behaviors and replacing them with healthier, more constructive beliefs. Rather than dwelling on the past, CBT gives individuals tools to work through challenges in the present and develop new ways of responding to stress, cravings, and emotional pain.
For individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, CBT provides practical tools to:
- Identify triggers that lead to substance use
- Challenge negative thought patterns
- Develop healthy coping strategies
- Build lasting recovery skills
Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBT focuses on actionable techniques you can use immediately when facing cravings or stress.
How CBT Supports Drug
and Alcohol Recovery
Breaking the Addiction Cycle
Substance use often begins as a way to cope with emotional pain, trauma, or overwhelming stress. Over time, these coping mechanisms become harmful habits. CBT helps break this cycle by teaching you to:
Recognize Destructive Thoughts:
- “I can’t handle this stress without drinking”
- “I’ve already relapsed, so why try?”
- “I’m too damaged to get better”
Replace with Healthy Alternatives:
- “I can use my coping skills to manage this stress”
- “A setback doesn’t erase my progress”
- “I have the strength to recover and heal”
- Building skills for emotional regulation and problem-solving
CBT isn’t just a tool for staying sober; it’s a pathway to showing up more fully in your own life. It can help you handle stress at work without unraveling, reconnect with people you care about, or move through grief without shutting down.
These are the everyday moments where growth takes root. CBT gives you practical ways to respond differently, think more clearly, and rebuild trust in yourself, one small step at a time.
