At Northpoint Nebraska, we take an integrated approach to treating addiction and mental health disorders. Those struggling with addiction or a mental health condition often deal with negative thoughts, damaged relationships, and low self-esteem. Without proper treatment, they can completely take over a person’s life and dramatically affect their overall health and well-being. In both addiction and mental health treatment, participating in therapy programs is highly recommended.
One of the most popular therapy programs to treat substance abuse and mental illness is cognitive-behavioral therapy. We offer a cognitive-behavioral therapy program to help patients improve their mental health and emotional well-being to promote long-term recovery.

Understanding CBT Disorder Treatment
During cognitive-behavioral therapy, patients meet with a mental health professional to understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions have influenced their struggles with addiction or poor mental health. Those in treatment work to identify inaccurate or negative thinking and understand how they affect their feelings and behaviors. Acknowledging these irrational thought patterns helps patients reframe how they think and approach challenges.
CBT disorder treatment can help patients:
- Learn healthy ways to regulate emotions
- Cope with stress and other emotional challenges
- Improve communications skills
- Repair relationships
- Set healthy boundaries
- Overcome emotional trauma
- Establish a healthy and more rational thought process
Improving mental health is essential for your overall health and well-being. Through CBT, patients understand how their negative thoughts impacted their life and learn how to reframe their thinking patterns to create a healthier mindset. Discussing and reflecting on uncomfortable emotions and thoughts can be uncomfortable. However, a counselor provides an objective perspective that helps individuals in treatment gain a more accurate outlook on themselves and their past.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy also helps patients rebuild their self-esteem and restore their confidence. This prepares them to effectively maintain their mental health as they transition out of inpatient programs back to normal life.
Disorders Treated With Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
CBT is an effective form of therapy used in addiction and mental health treatment. There are numerous disorders treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy. CBT can be used in combination with other treatment programs, depending on the patient’s condition and what their recovery needs are.
Common disorders treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy are:
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Depression
- PTSD
- Dual diagnosis
- Substance use disorder
Those struggling with these disorders often deal with automatic negative thoughts that affect their mood, feelings, and behaviors. These irrational thoughts and fears can invade all aspects of an individual’s life, including relationships, work performance, and physical health. While everyone’s circumstances are unique, cognitive-behavioral therapy can help patients identify their negative thoughts and learn skills to reframe them.
Whether someone is struggling with depression or substance use disorder, developing a healthier and more accurate mindset is essential for achieving lasting recovery and mental wellness. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps individuals develop healthier thinking patterns to improve their mental health and overall well-being.
