CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) is a non-medicated treatment (behavioral therapy) for tics/tourettes that teaches a person to become aware of their behavior and helps them improve. CBIT is a systematic, carefully planned, and custom created treatment based on the patient’s needs. CBIT has three important components. 1. Awareness – Help patients become aware of their urge to tic. 2. Behavior – Choose and practice behaviors in place of the tic. 3. Changes – Identify the tic and make positive changes. Some of these techniques are already used in managing Touretts. However, CBIT takes the most effective concepts and blends them to optimize outcomes.
