Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective therapies for addiction and mental health treatment. It helps you identify and challenge harmful thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to substance use and emotional struggles.

🔹 How CBT Helps in Recovery:

✔ Recognize Triggers – Identify situations that lead to substance use or emotional distress
✔ Restructure Negative Thinking – Learn to challenge self-doubt, shame, and unhealthy beliefs
✔ Develop Coping Skills – Build healthier responses to stress, cravings, and negative emotions
✔ Prevent Relapse – Create strategies to stay on track and avoid setbacks

CBT is especially effective for individuals struggling with:

✅ Substance Use Disorders (SUD) – Alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and other addictions
✅ Anxiety & Depression – Reshape thought patterns for a healthier mindset
✅ Trauma & PTSD – Reduce the impact of past experiences on present emotions
✅ Dual Diagnosis – Address both mental health and addiction simultaneously

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an advanced form of CBT, specifically designed for individuals who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, and self-destructive behaviors.

Originally created for borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT is now widely used to treat addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

🔹 DBT Skills You’ll Learn in Treatment:

✔ Mindfulness – Stay present & grounded instead of reacting impulsively
✔ Distress Tolerance – Handle stress without turning to drugs or alcohol
✔ Emotional Regulation – Gain control over extreme mood swings & emotional instability
✔ Interpersonal Effectiveness – Improve relationships & set healthy boundaries

🔹 DBT is particularly effective for:

✅ Individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions
✅ People with a history of self-harm, impulsivity, or emotional dysregulation
✅ Clients who need structured coping skills for addiction recovery

At Project Recovery in San Diego, we offer both individual and group DBT sessions to ensure clients receive personalized care in a supportive environment.

Individual Therapy – One-on-One Support

Individual therapy is a safe, private space where clients work one-on-one with a licensed therapist to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges.

🔹 What Happens in Individual Therapy?

✔ Personalized treatment planning based on your history & goals
✔ Trauma-informed care to help process past experiences
✔ Identifying & addressing deep-rooted emotional pain

✅ Addiction Recovery – Get to the root causes of substance use
✅ Mental Health Management – Work through anxiety, depression, or trauma
✅ Relapse Prevention – Build a toolbox of coping strategies
✅ Life Skills Development – Learn confidence, communication & self-care

Group Therapy – Healing Through Connection

Group therapy provides peer support, shared experiences, and guided discussion, creating a powerful environment for growth and recovery.

🔹 Why Group Therapy Works:

✔ Build a strong support system with others who understand your struggles
✔ Learn from shared experiences and different perspectives
✔ Practice social & communication skills in a safe, judgment-free space
✔ Increase motivation & accountability through community healing

Dual Diagnosis Treatment – Treating Addiction & Mental Health Together

Did you know?

📊 Over 50% of people with addiction also struggle with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.

Ignoring one issue while treating the other leads to relapse. That’s why we treat both.

🔹 How Dual Diagnosis Treatment Works:

✔ Comprehensive Assessment – Identify underlying mental health conditions
✔ Integrated Treatment – Therapy, medication, and holistic care tailored to your needs
✔ Personalized Recovery Plan – Address addiction AND mental health together
✔ Relapse Prevention – Build coping mechanisms for both conditions

🔹 Common Dual Diagnoses We Treat:

✅ Addiction + Anxiety – Learn emotional regulation to manage cravings & stress
✅ Substance Use + PTSD – Heal from trauma while preventing self-medicating
✅ Depression + Alcoholism – Break the cycle of negative thinking & self-destruction
✅ Bipolar Disorder + Drug Addiction – Gain balance & structure for long-term recovery
