Cognitive Bias in Substance Abuse
Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of thinking that distort an individual's perception of reality and contribute to addictive behavior. In substance abuse, common cognitive biases include denial, overconfidence, and a tendency to focus on the positive aspects of substance use while minimizing the negative consequences. These biases reinforce the cycle of addiction, making it harder for the individual to recognize the need for change. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective treatments for addressing these biases, as it helps individuals become aware of and challenge distorted thinking. By correcting these cognitive distortions, individuals can develop healthier thought patterns and make more rational decisions about their substance use.
