Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
Acadia Psychiatry offers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), widely recognized as the gold-standard, first-line treatment for chronic insomnia. CBT-I is an evidence-based, non-medication approach that helps identify and change the thoughts, behaviors, and sleep patterns that contribute to ongoing sleep difficulties. Treatment may include strategies to strengthen healthy sleep patterns, improve sleep efficiency, address unhelpful beliefs or anxiety surrounding sleep, and develop sustainable sleep habits. CBT-I can provide lasting improvements in sleep without relying solely on sleep medications.
Quality First
CBT-I is recommended as a first-line treatment for chronic insomnia and is supported by extensive clinical research demonstrating meaningful improvements in sleep quality and insomnia symptoms.
Expert Care
Research shows that CBT-I can produce long-lasting improvements in sleep, with benefits that may persist after treatment has ended.
Real Results
CBT-I addresses the thoughts and behaviors that perpetuate insomnia using evidence-based techniques such as stimulus control, sleep restriction/compression, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation strategies.
