With Help, Recovery from Addiction Is Possible

Originally developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT has since become a leading approach for treating addiction, trauma, and other mental health challenges. Our team at Northridge can use DBT to help you reduce your risk of relapse, rebuild your relationships, and respond more effectively to life’s toughest moments.

Frequently Asked Questions about DBT
How is DBT different from regular talk therapy?
DBT is action-focused. While traditional therapy helps you process what you’re feeling, DBT gives you a toolkit for managing those feelings in the moment, especially when you’re triggered, overwhelmed, or tempted to relapse.
Do I have to be diagnosed with a specific mental health condition to benefit from DBT?
No. While DBT was originally created for people with borderline personality disorder, it’s now widely used to treat anxiety, trauma, depression, substance use, and more. If you struggle with intense emotions or impulsive behavior, DBT can help.
How is DBT used in addiction treatment?
Substance use often becomes a way to escape emotional pain. DBT helps you build new ways to tolerate distress, manage urges, and cope without using. It also improves your ability to handle conflict and rebuild trust in relationships.
