About Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy initially developed to treat borderline personality disorder, but it has proven effective in treating various mental health disorders, including substance use disorders. DBT focuses on teaching patients skills for coping with stress, controlling their emotions, and improving their relationships with others. It is particularly effective for individuals with dual diagnoses, where addiction coexists with mental health issues.

DBT involves a combination of individual therapy sessions and group skills training to help individuals learn and practice new skills. These skills fall into four main categories: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By engaging in DBT, individuals learn to manage their emotions and behaviors, which can significantly support recovery from addiction.

Addiction Treatment Services provides a comprehensive directory of rehab centers nationwide that offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy as part of their treatment programs. By connecting individuals to accredited and trusted rehab facilities, Addiction Treatment Services ensures that those seeking help for substance use disorders can find programs tailored to their specific needs, including DBT. The directory is designed to streamline the search for effective treatment options, enabling individuals to access specialized care for a more successful recovery process.

Every listing on this page is a real, licensed provider. We are an independent directory: calling the helpline is confidential, and you are never obliged to enter any program you are shown. You can also reach the SAMHSA National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357, 24 hours a day.

What to Look For in a Center Offering Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is clinical content — part of what actually happens in the treatment hours, as opposed to where you sleep or what the building looks like. Because almost every program lists a long menu of services, the useful questions are about dose and delivery: how often, for how long, in what format, and by whom.

1

Who delivers it

The licensure or certification of the person providing the service, not just the facility's claim to offer it.

Ask about Dialectical Behavior Therapy Who delivers Dialectical Behavior Therapy here, and what license or certification do they hold?

2

Frequency and format

How many sessions a week, and whether they are individual or delivered to a group of twenty.

Ask about Dialectical Behavior Therapy How many sessions of Dialectical Behavior Therapy will I have each week?

3

Fidelity to the model

Structured therapies have training and supervision requirements. Ask how staff were trained and how adherence is supervised.

Ask about Dialectical Behavior Therapy Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy delivered individually or in a group, and how large is the group?

4

How progress is measured

Programs that track outcomes with standardised measures tend to be the ones paying attention to whether treatment is working.

Ask about Dialectical Behavior Therapy How do you measure whether Dialectical Behavior Therapy is helping me?

5

Whether it is included in the price

Some services are quoted separately or offered only in a higher tier. Confirm before admission.

Questions to Ask About Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Ask these on the first call, before you tour anything or send a deposit. Written answers are better than verbal ones, and a program that will not answer plainly has answered.

If you would rather not make those calls yourself, our specialists will make them with you — confidential, at 1-888-685-2199. You can also check how accreditation works, what your insurance is likely to cover, or the payment options available if you are uninsured.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Frequently Asked Questions

Clinical services address the psychological, behavioral and social side of a substance use disorder — the patterns, triggers, relationships and untreated mental health conditions that sit underneath the use. They are what distinguishes treatment from detox: withdrawal management alone, without a course of clinical care behind it, has a poor record on its own.
Frequency matters more than availability. A service listed on a website but delivered once a fortnight in a large group is a different product from the same service delivered twice a week individually. Ask for the weekly schedule in writing and compare programs on that.
Covered services are usually billed as part of the authorised level of care rather than itemised, so the practical questions are whether the facility is in-network and how many days or sessions your plan authorises. Some adjunct services fall outside the covered benefit and are billed separately — ask which ones before you admit.
