Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Building Emotional Resilience for Lasting Recovery
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that focuses on balancing emotional acceptance with meaningful behavioral change. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven highly effective in treating addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
At Serenity Path Recovery, DBT helps individuals manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and build a healthier mindset. By incorporating mindfulness techniques, distress tolerance strategies, and emotional regulation exercises, DBT equips clients with the skills necessary for sustained recovery and personal growth.
Benefits of DBT in Addiction Recovery

- Improves Distress Tolerance – Helps develop coping strategies for high-stress situations without resorting to substance use.
