I would like to add that recent studies have shown promising results in the use of CBT for relapse prevention. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, CBT can reduce relapse rates by up to 60 percent when compared to traditional treatment methods (Witkiewitz et al., 2005). Recovery from addiction is a challenging journey, filled with both triumphs and setbacks. Recent findings have shown that (CBT) is a powerful tool for preventing relapse and sustaining recovery (Hendershot et al., 2011). Cognitive behavioral therapy is a well-established therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It has gained prominence as an effective method for addiction treatment and relapse prevention (Douaihy et al., 2007). CBT helps individuals in recovery by: Identifying Triggers: CBT helps individuals recognize the thoughts, feelings, and situations that trigger their cravings for substances. By understanding these triggers, they can develop strategies to avoid or cope with them. Building Coping Skills: CBT equips individuals with practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, and negative emotions without resorting to substance use. These skills are essential for maintaining sobriety. Challenging Negative Beliefs: Many individuals struggling with addiction have negative beliefs about themselves and their ability to change. CBT helps challenge and reframe these beliefs, fostering self- empowerment (Douaihy et al., 2007). Addiction and relapse are formidable foes, but with the right tools and support, lasting recovery is within reach. Cognitive behavioral therapy, especially when integrated with trauma-informed care, has proven to be a beacon of hope for individuals battling addiction (Witkiewitz et al., 2005).
