Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has been extensively researched and
has solid empirical support as an evidence-based treatment for
addictions. CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on the
immediate problems faced by substance abusers entering treatment who are
struggling to control their substance misuse. It is a flexible,
individualized approach that can be adapted to a wide range of
individuals and a wide range of treatment settings and formats.
