Some individuals struggle with the ‘higher power’ concept of traditional 12-Step programs, however, this should not mean that treatment is unavailable for such persons. At
Providence Recovery Center we have found that the most effective therapeutic method for dealing with the disease of chemical dependency is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, or, “CBT”. This counseling approach focuses on the concept of the behavior chain: Stimulus (or Trigger)
Thoughts
Feelings
Behaviors
Consequences. At each link in the chain, an individual has the opportunity to change the outcome, or “consequence”.
Through various written assignments, process group exercises, and private counseling sessions, the individual is able to develop new thinking and behaviors which will lead to more constructive outcomes.
