You can learn to control the thoughts that led you to drug or alcohol abuse through cognitive behavioral therapy.

Anti-craving medications will help you through the early months of recovery, while you learn long-term strategies for living happily without chemical dependence.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is based on the scientific fact that your thoughts — rather than external factors like people, situations, or events — cause you to feel and behave the way you do. Therapy will help you unlearn harmful thought patterns and adopt new ways of reacting to life’s ups and downs.

Along with individual and group counseling, CBT will help you identify and achieve your goals. Because of its educational focus, cognitive behavioral therapy is among the fastest and most effective therapies for addiction treatment.

Patients do best if they attend counseling once or twice a week for at least six months. Sessions are conveniently scheduled during day, evening, and weekends hours.
Clients also have access to a dedicated Internet chat 24 hours a day.
