Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Find Balance, Regulate Emotions, and Build a Life You Love
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals manage overwhelming emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop practical coping skills. Originally created for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used to support people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and substance use.
At Evolutions Detox Recovery Center, DBT plays a central role in our holistic, client-centered care. Our therapists guide clients in balancing emotional acceptance with meaningful change—creating a foundation for long-term stability, confidence, and peace of mind.
Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that focuses on helping individuals accept their experiences while learning how to make positive changes. The word “dialectical” means finding balance—between acceptance and growth, emotion and reason, vulnerability and strength.
The therapy teaches four key life-enhancing skills that can be practiced both in and outside of treatment:
Emotion Regulation
Learn to identify, understand, and manage intense emotions without being consumed by them.
Distress Tolerance
Build healthy coping tools for navigating crises and emotional pain without turning to destructive behaviors.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Strengthen communication skills, assert boundaries, and develop meaningful, supportive relationships.
Mindfulness
Cultivate present-moment awareness to reduce anxiety and bring clarity and calm to daily life.
These four modules empower individuals to handle life’s challenges with balance, compassion, and confidence.
Who Can Benefit from DBT
DBT is ideal for individuals who struggle with powerful emotions, unstable relationships, or self-destructive habits. It has been proven effective for conditions such as:
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Anxiety and Depression
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Bipolar Disorder
Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder
Substance Use Disorders
Self-Harm and Suicidal Thoughts
If you’ve ever felt ruled by your emotions or trapped in repeating cycles, DBT provides the structure, support, and strategies to build emotional balance and confidence.
