The Center for Trait-Based Transformation (CTBT) is a pioneering organization dedicated to reshaping addiction recovery and mental health treatment through the Trait-Based Model of Recovery (TBMR). Our mission is to empower individuals by cultivating their inherent strengths, fostering personal growth, and equipping them with the skills necessary for long-term recovery and success.

At CTBT, we recognize that sustainable recovery extends beyond symptom management. Our evidence-based, strengths-focused approach prioritizes the development of resilience, self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills—key traits that support sustained sobriety, mental well-being, and personal transformation.

We partner with treatment centers, behavioral health organizations, and private practitioners to integrate the Trait-Based Model of Recovery into existing programs, enhancing client engagement and retention. Our model has demonstrated measurable success, with participants experiencing significant reductions in depression and anxiety and an unmatched 96% program completion rate—far exceeding traditional models.

Through comprehensive training, certification programs, and research-backed curriculum, CTBT provides treatment professionals with the tools to implement TBMR in residential, outpatient, and community-based settings. As an NAATP affiliate, we seek to collaborate with industry leaders to advance strength-based, trauma-informed, and transformative care solutions.
