Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Addiction

The recovery journey is rarely a smooth one.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps individuals learn to manage emotions as they work to change behaviors. We use it to empower our residents with skills for life after addiction.

At NSR of Asheville, we provide post-detox care for men. Our men’s treatment program combines DBT and other clinical therapies with structure and peer-support. We specialize in sustainable sobriety, relapse prevention, life skills, and long term addiction treatment.

As we say:

“Recovery is the Real Adventure.”

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches you to walk the middle path along that adventure

Learning to Grow From Acceptance and Change to Create a Meaningful Life

The path to recovery requires both acceptance and change.

DBT validates the feelings of patients and teaches them how to transform them.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy helps develop important skills such as mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. It is easy to see why it is an effective aid for a variety of mental health disorders including substance abuse.

DBT helps build the emotional resiliency the real world demands.

The young men in our program learn to take cope with the realities of life and eventually develop the skills to thrive. Begin that journey for yourself today.

I owe the person I am today to NSR of Asheville's guidance."

"I am so grateful for NSR of Asheville and all the staff members. This is definitely the place I needed to come after I got out of treatment. Here I got connected to the recovery community in Asheville and made some good friends here at the houses. They have not only taught me what I need to do to stay clean but I have learned so many life lessons while I was here. I will stay in contact with them because this place has given me my life back and for that I am so grateful!"

Z.A., Beloved Resident

"NSR of Asheville was exactly what I needed in the early stages of my recovery! I spent so many years of my life hiding behind a bottle, and I couldn’t take it anymore! Susan and her staff helped me to get back on my feet and start the process moving on and loving life without the use of alcohol or drugs. After my 3 months here, I chose to stay in Asheville and continue to work on my self, with their guidance. I couldn’t imagine my life today if I was still stuck in my old ways, Thank you NSR of Asheville!"

As a family we have been blessed to have been connected with NSR of Asheville. Thank you.
