Behavioural Couples Therapy (BCT)

Behavioural couples therapy (BCT) is a form of counselling that helps in making an addicted individual’s personal relationships favourable for abstinence.
Behavioural couples therapy plays an integral part in addiction treatment as it helps those who suffer from a narcotic or alcohol addiction to clear away some of the wreckage of their past, as well as making relationships with family and friends stronger.
Couples therapy also educates the non-addicted partner about addiction and what the newly recovering patients responsibilities are if they hope to stay clean & sober.
It has also been found that behavioural couples therapy decreases the relapse risk of a recovering addict.
Behavioural couples therapy is commonly done on a outpatient basis, that can span for over five months.
