Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focused on helping individuals regulate emotions, manage distress, and build stronger relationships. Developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan, DBT teaches balance, acceptance and change working together.

This therapy helps clients move away from destructive coping habits and toward mindfulness, emotional stability, and self-respect. DBT is integrated into every level of care to help you rebuild trust in yourself and your future.

Building Skills for Everyday Strength

DBT focuses on learning and applying skills in four key areas that promote long-term recovery:

Mindfulness

Stay present and grounded, even during moments of stress or uncertainty.

Distress Tolerance

Handle crises calmly and avoid impulsive, harmful decisions.

Emotional Regulation

Understand your emotions, reduce reactivity, and create balance.

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Communicate clearly, set boundaries, and build healthy relationships.

Through these core skills, clients learn how to navigate difficult emotions, improve relationships, and strengthen resilience, without turning to old coping habits.

Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Substance abuse affects millions of individuals and families, disrupting health, relationships, and emotional stability. It occurs when the use of alcohol, prescription medication, or drugs begins to interfere with daily life. Over time, these substances can change brain function, leading to cravings, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms.

At Roswell, we believe addiction is not a lack of willpower; it’s a medical and emotional condition that requires compassionate treatment. Through education, therapy, and support, we help you understand the “why” behind substance use and empower you to create lasting change.
