Overview

It is not the psychotherapy type itself that is responsible for its effectiveness in helping an individual recover from their drug addiction, but how it is tailored to the unique needs of the individual that determines its effectiveness. There are various types of psychotherapies used that can be tailored for individuals with drug addiction –

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This psychotherapy aims at identifying negative thoughts, behavioural patterns, and unhealthy coping strategies in order to replace them with healthy ones.
Contingency Management. This approach focuses on rewarding the addicted individual with positive reinforcements in order to continue the desirable behaviour, i.e. sobriety. The rewards could include vouchers, prizes, or an improved relationship with their spouse.
Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). This psychotherapy approach focuses on the addicted individual’s belief systems and aims to replace irrational and faulty beliefs that contribute to addiction with healthy, more constructive beliefs.
Motivational Interviewing (MI). In this approach, the therapist tries to explore the client’s intrinsic values and motivations and uses them to motivate the client to maintain sobriety.
