CBT has been shown to be an effective therapy for treating alcohol addiction. It works best when combined with other forms of treatment such as medications and support groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
CBT helps a person with alcohol addiction by helping them identify maladaptive ways of thinking and behaving, teaching them distress tolerance, becoming aware of their thoughts, identifying triggers to substance use, and learning new, more adaptive ways of coping with life’s stresses.
CBT is a structured, short term therapy so is expected to be shorter than other long term therapies. However, the number of sessions required vary from individual to individual.
