Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in Arizona

While saying “addiction is wrong,” may technically be an accurate statement, it is not a very persuasive reason for someone dealing with this dilemma to change. When people seek treatment, they know that their behavior needs to change, but may not understand how their addictive behaviors developed in the first place. In DBT, we talk with patients about their behaviors and learn more about what goes into their thought process when feeling the urge to use. By understanding these behaviors, both therapist and client can work to change them and keep moving forward.
