Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches you concrete skills for handling intense emotions, urges, and conflict without turning to substances. At Dawson Recovery, it forms a core part of your treatment plan, pairing weekly skills practice with individual sessions so you build real tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and steadier relationships.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a structured form of talk therapy that teaches you concrete skills for handling intense emotions. In a session you work with a licensed clinician on specific situations from your week, practicing techniques like managing distress, regulating emotion, and communicating without blowing up relationships. It helps with the cravings, mood swings, and self-destructive patterns that often drive addiction and conditions like anxiety and depression. Your clinician builds DBT into your full treatment plan alongside other therapies, then adjusts the approach as your skills grow and your needs change.
