Modes of Therapy Used in Addiction Treatment

Evidence-based therapies are the core of every addiction treatment plan we create.

Our team of addiction specialists understands that every person’s life journey is unique and that their recovery needs to fulfill their unique needs.

Honoring the needs of each individual is part of our holistic approach to healing. While each person’s experience is different, some forms of addiction therapy are practically universal.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on two main components: acceptance and change. Dialectical behavior therapy stresses the importance of accepting yourself, others, or situations exactly as they are before working to change them.

It is thought that seeing things as they truly are — including your own addiction — is only possible by first accepting it. Once patients accept their reality, they are better prepared to make the necessary changes to improve their lives.

Individual Therapy

Meeting with a therapist one-on-one allows clients to discuss private issues they may not feel comfortable sharing in other environments. The process of individual therapy will differ according to each client’s needs and can include discussions about past trauma, present-day challenges, and concerns about the future.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is used to help clients process past traumas and recover from post-traumatic stress disorder. During EMDR sessions, the therapist leads the client through specific gestures, eye movements, and other sensory exercises to help rewire the brain’s response to traumatic memories.

Peer-Led Support Meetings

Whether it is Alcoholics Anonymous, 12-Steps, or another model, peer-led meetings are a cornerstone of addiction treatment.

Peer-led meetings allow our clients to engage with the community and build support networks to lean on after their formal treatment.

Most patients continue with structured meetings for many months, years, or even a lifetime after completing a treatment program.

Group Therapy

Group therapy allows participants to share with others who understand what they are going through. Meeting with a group also provides opportunities to practice the interpersonal and communication skills clients need to maintain healthy relationships in daily life.

One of the most important elements of engaging in group work is the opportunity to build friendships with people who understand what you’re going through and are rooting for your success. Creating relationships with others in recovery helps to boost your confidence and reconnects you with a world outside of drug and alcohol use.

Why Is Dual Diagnosis (DDX) Important?

It is often assumed that if a person is addicted to drugs or alcohol, all of their physical and mental health symptoms are related to or even caused by addictive behaviors.

That is not always the case. It’s estimated that 7.7 million adults in the U.S. with an addiction also have a mental health disorder.

In some cases, trying to self-medicate a mental health concern led to substance abuse in the first place.

An effective treatment plan begins with a comprehensive diagnosis. Your symptoms, medical history, and the results from a physical and mental health evaluation must all be considered before a correct diagnosis and treatment plan can be made.

A DDX includes all the possible diseases and conditions that could be affecting your health. Providing dual diagnosis treatment is part of our holistic approach.

Family Support

Family relationships can be strained and even broken by addiction. Repairing those relationships is integral to a person’s recovery. Tal encourages family support through family therapy, teaching relationship-building skills, and special family visit days.

Supporting a patient’s family while their loved one receives treatment is equally important. Tal provides resources for family members to get the help they need to be healthy participants in a functional family unit.
