Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Addiction

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals embrace difficult thoughts and emotions rather than avoid them. By combining mindfulness techniques with values-based action, clients learn to respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity and flexibility.

At New Chapter Faith Recovery, our ACT therapy programs in New Jersey support individuals in building emotional resilience and long-term recovery. Through acceptance, awareness, and committed action, clients reconnect with their values and create meaningful change. ACT is a powerful tool for overcoming addiction, managing mental health, and living with purpose.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of behavioral therapy that helps individuals build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions rather than avoiding them. Unlike traditional approaches, This therapy encourages clients to live a values-driven life in the presence of emotional pain.

This approach includes six core principles: cognitive defusion, acceptance, present moment awareness, self-as-context, values clarification, and committed action. These principles guide clients toward lasting change.

Benefits of ACT in Addiction and Mental Health Recovery

ACT therapy has proven effective in treating a wide range of conditions, especially substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. Its emphasis on mindfulness, values, and committed action makes it a powerful tool for long-term recovery.

Here are some of the key benefits of ACT therapy:

  • Encourages acceptance of cravings and triggers without acting on them
  • Builds resilience by teaching clients to observe thoughts without judgment
  • Helps reduce experiential avoidance (a common driver of relapse)
  • Strengthens motivation by identifying personal values
  • Promotes long-term behavior change rooted in meaningful goals

If you’re seeking a therapy that goes beyond symptom control and fosters deep, personal growth, ACT treatment may be right for you.
