Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT teaches four concrete skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and staying steady in relationships. At Dodson Recovery, we build these into your treatment plan from day one. You practice them in group. You practice them one on one. Then you use them where they matter most, in daily life.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
DBT teaches four practical skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthier relationships. In a session, you and your therapist review the week, practice a specific skill, and plan how to use it. It works well for intense emotions, self-harm urges, and the cravings tied to both. We use it for substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns alike. Our licensed clinicians build DBT into your full treatment plan, not as a standalone fix. As you grow steadier, we adjust the focus. The goal is real skills you keep for good.
