Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, short-term therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to combat addiction. It helps clients develop coping skills to maintain sobriety and has shown to improve recovery rates significantly. In contrast, traditional addiction counseling emphasizes emotional healing by exploring the psychological roots of addiction, making it essential for long-term recovery support. Understanding both methodologies is crucial for those pursuing a career in addiction counseling, as they address varying client needs effectively.
