Substance addiction often couples with negative thoughts and beliefs you hold about yourself, your circumstances and the world around you. To combat these closely held perceptions and find the truth, you may need to participate in a specialized form of therapy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
At the Gateway Foundation Chicago River North location, we specialize in cognitive behavior therapy and other clinical services to help you find physical, mental and emotional healing.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a therapeutic modality that helps patients identify and change self-defeating behaviors and thoughts.
