Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT)

Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) is a form of psychotherapy developed by Albert Ellis, grounded in the premise that irrational beliefs lead to emotional distress and self-defeating behaviors. By identifying these faulty belief systems—often revealed through recurring negative thoughts—, REBT helps individuals replace them with rational, empowering perspectives. The ultimate goal is enhanced emotional well-being and more effective coping strategies.

In the realm of substance use treatment, REBT can clarify how entrenched thought patterns may perpetuate relapse or hinder recovery. Participants learn to confront self-sabotaging beliefs—like "I am powerless" or "I need substances to cope"—replacing them with healthier alternatives that foster self-efficacy and motivation.
