Evidence-Based Mental Health & Addiction Treatment at Boston Addiction Treatment
At Boston Addiction Treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the foundation of our treatment approach for individuals struggling with addiction, mental health disorders, or both. CBT is a goal-oriented, evidence-based therapy that helps clients challenge harmful thoughts, shift negative patterns, and build healthier coping strategies. If you’re seeking a lasting recovery from substance use, CBT can be a life-changing tool in your healing process.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
CBT is a structured, short-term form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The central idea is that how you think directly affects how you feel and act — and by changing negative thought patterns, you can change your behavior and emotional outcomes.
At Boston Addiction Treatment, we use CBT to help clients:
- Identify self-defeating thoughts and beliefs
- Learn to challenge and reframe those thoughts
- Replace destructive behaviors with healthier responses
- Develop practical skills to manage triggers and stress
What Does CBT Treat?
CBT is one of the most researched and effective therapies available today. At Boston Addiction, we use CBT to treat a wide range of issues, including:
- Substance use disorders (alcohol, drugs, prescription medications)
- PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
- Anxiety and depressive disorders

How CBT Works at Boston Addiction

You’ll work with your counselor to identify thought patterns that may be contributing to your distress, and together you’ll practice skills aimed at shifting those patterns.

- …Collaborative: You’ll work alongside your therapist to set goals and track progress.
- …Skills-Based: You’ll learn tools to use outside of regular sessions.
