How does cognitive-behavioral therapy work for addicts?

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is not a single body of techniques. It is grown from a very small number to quite a different sort of pool of interventions. Yes, it maybe one-on-one talk therapy, but unlike dynamic therapy it’s not about what happened in childhood. It’s all here and now. It’s what you can do tomorrow. You talk about triggers; you talk about feelings and thinking that leads to involvement in destructive behavior. Cognitive-behavior therapy goes beyond all that talking. Educational homework; assignments will be given with the expectations that you would practice certain strategies about how relax yourself or how just to be with your feelings. A big tool today in cognitive behavioral therapy is to just be with your feelings. Lots of people with addiction hate being with their feelings and they use these behaviors to escape uncomfortable feelings. So, cognitive behavior will sort of focus on groups, meditation for example, and bio feedback to help one regulate and to stay with just uncomfortable feelings and be able to manage without escaping them.
