Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Healing Emotions, Building Skills, and Restoring Balance
At Casa Leona Rehab, we offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy for addiction recovery (DBT) as part of our evidence-based treatment programs. DBT helps clients regulate emotions, reduce destructive behaviors, and develop coping skills that support long-term sobriety and emotional well-being.
What Is DBT for Addiction Recovery?
DBT was originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) but has since proven effective for a variety of mental health conditions. This therapy emphasizes acceptance and change, helping clients navigate emotional distress with new tools and healthier responses.
The four core components of DBT include:
Emotional Regulation
Learn to recognize, understand, and manage intense emotions to prevent them from becoming overwhelming.Distress Tolerance
Develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress, pain, or crises without resorting to destructive behaviors.Interpersonal Effectiveness
Enhance communication and relationship skills to build healthier, more stable connections with others.Mindfulness
Stay grounded in the present moment, reduce reactivity, and improve your ability to focus and respond effectively.

Anxiety and depression
