Behavior Modification Therapy

Behavior Modification Therapy operates on the premise of learning theory; we repeat certain behaviors that have been reinforced over time. People who use alcohol/drugs as a way of coping in their lives develop very specific responses to situations. As a result the alcohol/drugs become a conditioned response as an attempt to adapt to the same situations. To modify these dysfunctional behaviors the therapist and individual develop a detailed understanding of what transpires leading up to problem and create alternatives that will condition healthier responses.
