What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) plays a pivotal role in our comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Originally developed to treat individuals struggling with extreme emotional dysregulation and borderline personality disorder, DBT has since been proven effective for a variety of issues, including addiction, anxiety, depression, and more. Our specialized DBT program is designed to equip clients with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of both their mental health challenges and recovery journey.

Benefits of DBT at Society Wellness

At Society Wellness, our DBT program focuses on four essential areas to help LGBTQ+ individuals manage emotional and psychological challenges linked to addiction:

  • Emotional Regulation: Clients learn techniques to stabilize intense emotions, helping prevent impulsive behaviors and reduce the likelihood of using substances as a coping mechanism.

  • Distress Tolerance: DBT teaches healthy ways to manage emotional distress, enabling clients to handle stress and anxiety without turning to harmful behaviors or substances.

  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: By improving communication and boundary-setting skills, DBT helps clients rebuild and maintain healthy relationships, offering essential support for long-term recovery.

  • Mindfulness: Mindfulness encourages clients to stay present and aware, helping them recognize triggers and cravings early, and focus on their recovery goals with greater clarity.


These core DBT skills support clients in their journey toward emotional stability, healthier relationships, and lasting sobriety.
