I’m Scott Swanezy. For over twenty five years, I have counseled thousands of addicts grappling with substance abuse and dependence, who were trying to fill the void in their lives with drugs, prescription drugs and alcohol.

They came to me and shared daily thoughts of self-loathing, fantasizing about what if and how the future will be different –

but the cycle of addiction continued, tomorrow never came, and their lives remained stuck in the cycle of getting high.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Addiction Recovery

Cognitive behavioral therapy is widely used today to help those struggling with substance abuse and addiction. As a counselor, I focus on utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy methods to teach my clients how to recognize, analyze and understand their thoughts and behaviors. Teaching these methods allows a person to become aware of how their thoughts and behaviors play a role in their addiction. Having awareness of what thoughts and behaviors trigger addictive behaviors, ultimately allows the person to take control of their thoughts, and shift their behaviors to recover from addiction and live an overall healthier lifestyle.

Cognitive behavioral therapy also focuses on treating disorders, such as anxiety and depression, which often occur alongside addiction. Understanding and treating these disorders is imperative to helping in an individual’s recovery from addiction. Get Help
