Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Comprehensive Healing Benefits of DBT Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is an advanced cognitive-behavioral therapy model focusing on developing healthier coping skills and emotional responses. We integrate this into our evidence-based treatment programs to support comprehensive healing and recovery. This modality also helps individuals manage emotions and reduce conflict by emphasizing balance and acceptance, making it an essential component of our approach.

What is DBT Therapy?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy emphasizes balancing acceptance and change, helping individuals manage emotions and reduce conflicts. It is particularly effective for treating substance use, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health disorders. Therapy techniques will help patients foster skills in mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation, which in return improves emotional balance and improves their overall well-being.

IS Dialetical Behavioral Therapy EFFECTIVE?

Research has demonstrated that DBT is effective in treating a wide range of disorders. Studies have established that it is a well-established treatment for individuals with multiple and severe psychosocial disorders, and a study published in Psychiatric Times found that suicide attempts, depression, and substance abuse significantly decreased.

HOW DOES DBT WORK?

As its name suggests, DBT is influenced by the principle of balancing opposites. Individuals are coached to find ways to maintain two seemingly opposite perspectives at once, promoting balance and avoiding black-and-white, all-or-nothing thinking. This therapy promotes acceptance and change by helping people develop new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease relationship conflict. It focuses on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation to help people achieve balance and serenity.

							SLO has been much more than a recovery/treatment center. They have taken a personal interest in the person. Going beyond anything I would have imagined to help support, offer resources, give space for recovery. I, too as the family, have been personally supported by Troy, Jason, Julia, Sean, John M., Jacqueline and the entire team at SLO. I am confident that if you choose SLO Recovery Center, you will be given, well beyond, the care, unconditional support, and resources you need to recover!

							The time that I spent at SLO Recovery Center was the first step towards a second chance at life. They took a total chance on me coming from across the country, got me into sober housing and the recovery center, and gave me the opportunity to make a change for the better. At the recovery center, I was met by the SLO staff and an excellent counselor; all of whom gave me hope and treated me genuinely even when I was at my lowest. SLO Recovery Center has given me a second lease on life and I'm forever thankful.

							I'm going to start with the good news first! Our son has 3 1/2 years clean from a heroin/meth addiction!! SLO Recovery Center was a HUGE support not only for our son but for my husband and me as well. There was always a shoulder to cry on and tough love advice for us and a safe place for our son to live and be supported along his road to recovery. We wouldn't be where we are today without the love and support we received from so many at SLO Recovery Center. We are forever grateful.
