What REBT is
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy teaches that events do not cause emotions. Beliefs about events do, and that is the part therapy can change.
Albert Ellis developed it in the 1950s as a short-term psychotherapy and a life philosophy. It is one of the therapies we use at our drug and alcohol rehab center, where the work is identifying self-defeating beliefs and replacing them with healthier ones.
- Developed by
- Albert Ellis, in the 1950s
- Core claim
- Beliefs about events cause emotions, not the events
- The model
- A, the activating event; B, the belief; C, the consequence
- The work
- Replacing self-defeating beliefs
REBT is one of the evidence-based therapies in the program. Admissions can say which ones a plan would use.
How Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy Is Used in Addiction Treatment
During drug and alcohol rehab at Nova, our therapist will facilitate an educational session focused on teaching clients about Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. This will include an in-depth discussion about what it is and opportunities to walk through various examples of it. This session not only introduces REBT to clients in an understandable, manageable way, but it also invites clients to begin changing the way they think so they can change the way they feel.
Although this process looks different for every client enrolled in a drug and alcohol rehab program, our therapist helps clients put behavioral strategies into action to increase their likelihood of success. These strategies may include substituting alternative enjoyable activities for substance abuse or rewarding themselves for achieving various milestones in their sobriety.
REBT is also particularly advantageous in addiction treatment when used alongside 12-step support groups and community-based recovery programming.
