Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of psychological treatment that has been proven to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective means of treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Automatic processing is a type of thinking or cognition that does not involve any effort or deliberation. It is a process that happens unconsciously, without our cognitive knowledge. These thoughts can sometimes lead to negative choices when faced with them every day. Changing how you make these decisions and how to make the right choices. Learning the steps it takes to make the correct choices is the goal of early therapy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. When faced with a choice we often do it without weighing in all of the possible outcomes. That thought process is what must change. Instead of being reactive to life in such a manner that your choices do not take into account the consequences of your actions and who or what part of your life is affected by this choice. Some mental and addiction problems are based on illogical thought processes rather than chemical imbalances or repressed trauma.

Locating a treatment center that incorporates CBT into their programs can help your teen recover from drug or alcohol addiction and improve their life significantly.
