Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral Therapy is a scientifically grounded approach used worldwide in addiction and mental health treatment. At Deslongchamps Recovery, we use evidence-based behavioral therapies to help you understand how patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior develop—and how they can be changed. The core principle is simple and well supported by research: behaviors are learned, and with the right tools, they can be unlearned and replaced with healthier, sustainable alternatives.
Behavioral therapies have been shown in clinical studies to significantly improve outcomes for individuals struggling with substance use disorders, especially when combined with supportive care and a structured recovery environment. These approaches are proven to:
Reduce substance use and relapse rates
Improve emotional regulation and stress tolerance
Strengthen coping skills for cravings and triggers
Support long-term behavior change and recovery maintenance
Clients often seek behavioral therapy for challenges such as:
Addiction and substance use disorders
Depression and anxiety
Panic disorders
Anger and impulse control issues
Eating disorders
PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
Self-harm behaviors
Addiction frequently develops alongside learned responses to stress, trauma, or living in environments affected by substance use. Behavioral therapy directly addresses these patterns by helping you recognize triggers, interrupt automatic reactions, and practice healthier responses in real-world situations.
At Deslongchamps Recovery, we do not use a one-size-fits-all model. We carefully select therapies based on your individual needs, clinical assessment, and recovery goals. Some clients benefit from multiple behavioral approaches, while others require a more focused plan. Our therapeutic methods evolve as new, peer-reviewed research emerges, ensuring that your treatment is aligned with the most current, proven practices in addiction recovery.
Our goal is to give you practical, science-backed tools you can rely on—not just during treatment, but long after—so recovery becomes something you can live, not just work toward.
