Our Mental Health Treatment Programs
During counseling, you’ll work with your therapist through a number of different therapies. Each therapy is meant to help you develop a way to work through your addiction. Some of the types of individual therapies you may use with your therapist include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Dialectical behavior therapy
- EMDR therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Behavioral therapy
You may use some or all of these programs, depending on your unique needs. The goal is to ensure you’re able to learn how to deal with your addiction in the most effective method possible. Individual therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can teach you how to manage negative thoughts, which often lead to drug or alcohol use. You will learn how to navigate difficult situations without using drugs or alcohol.
Individual therapy is very effective for many of those in recovery. It is a way to tackle your own specific needs during therapy. It allows you to:
- Open up in a safe environment
- Communicate without fear of being judged
- Explore specific skills applicable to your life
- Develop strengths for life after treatment
- Interact with a professional who understands
Individual therapy is an opportunity to rebuild your life. You’ll feel good about each session, knowing it’s an avenue to help you recover. Your therapist can help you address the unique needs you have, giving you confidence, and the ability to develop new skills to use in everyday life outside of treatment.
While individual therapy is very important and always provided, professionally led group therapy for addiction is also a valuable investment as well. In a group session, you’ll be with people who are facing some of the same struggles you are. They have been through many of the same experiences and face the same obstacles to reclaiming their life and future.
