Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
You learn four skills in DBT at Dillard Recovery: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Individual sessions and group practice teach you to handle intense feelings without using. DBT is a core part of your treatment plan, built around what actually keeps you steady.
How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
DBT teaches you four skills: managing distress, regulating emotions, staying present, and handling relationships. You practice these in weekly individual sessions and group work.
A session looks like real conversation. You review what triggered you that week. Your clinician helps you name the emotion, then walk through a specific skill to use next time.
This helps with cravings, self-harm urges, anxiety, and volatile relationships that keep pulling you back to substances.
Licensed clinicians at Dillard Recovery build DBT into your full treatment plan. As you gain skills, they adjust the focus.
