The tagline for dialectical behavior therapy is: live the life you know like, what's the life that you dreamed of living, and that's what you're always looking at with DBT.
Imagine having a gym membership for your mind, one that strengthens your emotional resilience and coping skills. That's how Michelle Dubey, Chief Clinical Officer at Landmark Recovery, describes dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in this insightful episode of the Landmark Recovery Podcast. Hosts Zachary Crouch and Michael Walsh dive deep with Michelle into the world of addiction treatment, focusing on the powerful combination of DBT and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders.
Michelle shares her extensive experience and sheds light on why pairing DBT with MAT can be a game-changer in recovery. She explains how DBT's structured approach helps individuals develop adaptive coping mechanisms, much like a workout routine builds physical strength. The conversation also touches on the crucial role of addressing trauma and PTSD in addiction recovery, emphasizing that understanding these underlying issues is key to effective treatment.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into how Landmark Recovery measures success and tracks progress through outcomes-based measures. Michelle also candidly discusses the challenges of stabilizing patients with medication while simultaneously teaching them new coping skills. This episode offers a comprehensive look at how combining DBT and MAT can lead to lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
