Ben Taub Hospital Behavioral Health‘s Therapies & Programs
Treatment programs include individual therapy for the greatest chances of success. Customized individual therapy is counseling involving you and your Ben Taub Hospital Behavioral Health counselor. Individual therapy leads to greater peace and understanding about your triggers for addiction.
When family members are more proactive and involved in the treatment procedure, it encourages the patient to advance his or her progress. Moreover, it shouldn’t be ignored that genetics play a role when it comes to addiction, so it’s better to approach the problem as a unit. Also, with proper education, family members can help an individual avoid addiction triggers and guide him or her in making lifestyle changes necessary for his or her sobriety.
It has been said that unhealed trauma is the root of most addictions. Trauma therapy is a way of addressing trauma while in a safe situation in order to heal. Healing past traumas and introducing coping strategies are strong foundations for sustained recovery from addiction. This may involve individual or group counseling or both, in a Houston, TX facility. Other forms of therapy have been proven to assist in healing past traumas.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps those who attend Ben Taub Hospital Behavioral Health understand how their feelings, beliefs, and thoughts affect their behaviors. DBT is particularly useful for people with self-harming behaviors, as well as those with substance abuse disorders. DBT teaches people how to tolerate distress, regulate their emotions, and how to become mindful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the underlying thoughts and behaviors that caused the problem of addiction in the first place and may cause a relapse. Negative feelings are common in substance abuse disorders, and if not recognized, they can cause co-occurring disorders.
CBT involves strategies that help to change the thinking and behavioral pattern by cognitive restructuring. In simple terms, it helps to remove negative thoughts and provides long-term benefits. Also, CBT promotes self-awareness, self-control, and healthy ways to respond to negative thoughts. It can be administered as a mono-therapy as well as a part of combination therapy.

Houston, Texas Addiction and Treatment
Texas is one of the primary hubs for drug smuggling into the country. The border between Texas and Mexico is more than 1,000 miles long. More than 10 million residents use alcohol every year and more than 25% of those are minors. Alcohol and drug use has become so common in Texas that almost 15% of all deaths can be attributed to these substances.
Houston, a vibrant metropolis near the Gulf of Mexico, offers a welcoming atmosphere for those seeking support during drug rehab treatment. The city boasts a thriving arts and culture scene, numerous parks, and year-round outdoor activities. However, Harris County leads the state in overall illicit fentanyl-related deaths, with 93 through June 2023.
