Yes, your answer is correct. Behavioral therapy involves identifying the behaviors and situations in which alcohol and other drug use occur and equipping patients with skills to resist those behaviors. This is done by teaching patients techniques to disrupt and replace those behaviors with healthier alternatives. The goal of behavioral therapy is to help people overcome their addiction by changing their behaviors and developing coping mechanisms to resist cravings and triggers.
