Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps clients understand the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that influence their behaviors. CBT programs assist clients in identifying and changing destructive or harmful thought patterns that negatively impact behavior and emotions. This approach can be particularly beneficial for individuals with substance use disorders, as it helps them recognize automatic negative thoughts or cognitive distortions that may be fueling their addiction.
CBT is highly goal-oriented and focused, involving collaboration between the client and counselor to establish and work toward mutually agreed-upon goals. It is often well-suited for clients who prefer a structured and focused treatment approach.
The following programs are available to support addiction services and can be integrated into counseling services at River Road CCS to encourage positive outcomes. Some programs are facilitated in a group setting, while others are conducted individually with a counselor (based on client preference). Prices vary depending on the program and format.
