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.

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:
