How It Works

Therapists work to identify negative thoughts that can be obstacles in recovery. These automatic (often irrational) beliefs are based on misconceptions and internalized feelings of self-doubt or fear and often cause people to try to cope with the thoughts by using drugs. Those in treatment learn to reframe their painful memories from a different perspective to help reduce the pain caused by them. Once these thoughts and memories are reframed; patients can then learn new positive behaviors that will replace their drug or alcohol use altogether.

Once you understand the truth about the motivation behind your behaviors, you will have more power over your future decisions.
