There are many treatment options available to help individuals with substance use disorder, SUD, and other addictive behavior problems. Many modalities, particularly behavioral therapies, have successfully helped people find their way down the recovery path from SUD. CBT has been a longstanding, go-to therapeutic choice for people with addictive behaviors.
In the 1980s, Dr. Marsha M. Linehan coauthored dialectical behavioral therapy or DBT. It is talk therapy that integrates Buddhist-based mindfulness along with other derivative components comprising CBT.

However, researchers discovered later that DBT could benefit people with substance use disorder also.
To seek professional help for addictive behaviors means there is first an acceptance that there is a problem. Only then can a person take steps to facilitate the necessary change of the dynamics constituting the individual's relationship and connection with drugs and alcohol.

This infamous prayer used in 12-step programs and other similar programs encourages participants to accept what they cannot alter and take responsibility for the things in their life that they can change. An inpatient rehab facility that offers DBT provides a controlled environment away from people, places, and things that could be triggers and temptations. Dialectical behavioral therapy was developed to help people build a life they would want to live and fortify by making healthy choices.
The foundation on which dialectical behavioral therapy was built upon helped patients forge a life worth living. Even though there is a slight difference in DBT for psychosocial issues and the DBT adapted for addictive behaviors, the therapy's four core areas remain irreplaceable. One module is designated for the skills of acceptance, and the second set of methods is focused on change. The four therapeutic components include these areas:
