Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, evidence-based talk therapy that helps you or your loved one recognize the thoughts driving cravings and low moods, then practice steadier responses. At Merritt Recovery, CBT anchors most treatment plans because those skills carry over into everyday decisions long after care ends.
How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Works in Treatment
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a talk-based treatment that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In a session, you sit with a clinician and work through specific situations that trigger drinking, drug use, or difficult emotions. Together you identify the thinking patterns behind those reactions and practice steadier responses. It helps with anxiety, depression, and cravings, giving you or your loved one tools that carry into daily life. At Merritt Recovery, licensed clinicians fold CBT into a fuller treatment plan and adjust the approach as recovery moves forward.
