Get Into Recovery

Integrated Step Course

With alcoholism or drug use, the body becomes dependent on those drugs or alcohol. Detox (and withdrawal) is the process by which drug or alcohol induced toxins are exorcised from the body. It isn't easy, and many people aren't mentally or physically prepared for the process, but with a detox program, that's only the first step.

Detox and Withdrawal

This discussion is around the 12 Steps and CBT. We take a look at the similarity in processes such as; Behavioural Homework, Cognitive Rehearsal, Journals, Modelling, Conditioning, Systematic Desensitisation and Validity Testing. We then explore a simple CBT thought form and compare the similarities to the 12 Step method.
