Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
For individuals who struggle with intense emotions, unstable relationships, or self-destructive behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can be a life-changing part of their recovery journey. Developed to help people manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships, DBT is a highly effective, skills-based therapy that teaches you how to find a middle ground between acceptance and change.
DBT at West LA Recovery focuses on four core skill modules:
- Mindfulness: Learn how to be fully present and aware of the current moment without judgment. This skill helps you stay grounded, reduce anxiety, and avoid getting lost in cravings or distressing thoughts.
- Distress Tolerance: Develop a “crisis survival” toolkit to get through difficult situations without engaging in destructive behaviors. You’ll learn to accept and tolerate distress in a healthy way when you cannot change the situation.
- Emotion Regulation: Understand your emotions and learn how to reduce the intensity of painful feelings. This module teaches you how to identify, label, and manage emotions more effectively.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improve your communication skills and learn how to build and maintain healthy relationships while respecting your own needs. This helps to reduce conflict and create a stronger support system.
By participating in DBT, you will gain tangible, practical skills that are critical for navigating the challenges of early recovery and maintaining long-term sobriety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a goal-oriented therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, you can change your emotional responses and behaviors. At West LA Recovery, CBT is a powerful tool for developing healthy coping mechanisms, preventing relapse, and building a more positive mindset.
Family Therapy
Addiction affects the entire family system. Our family therapy services provide a safe and supportive space for you and your loved ones to heal, improve communication, and rebuild trust. Through guided sessions, families can work together to establish healthy boundaries, understand the dynamics of addiction, and create a strong support network essential for long-term recovery.
