Treatments
1-on-1 Counseling
One-on-one counseling gives clients private time with a counselor or therapist to discuss substance use, mental health symptoms, goals, triggers, and recovery planning. It is commonly used throughout treatment to create a more personalized care plan.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps clients notice difficult thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them. It may support people working on substance use, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes by helping them act in line with personal values.
Art Therapy
Art therapy uses creative activities to help clients express emotions, process experiences, and explore thoughts that may be difficult to discuss directly. It is often used as a supportive approach in mental health, trauma, and substance use treatment settings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps people identify thought and behavior patterns that may contribute to substance use, anxiety, depression, or relapse risk. Programs may use it to build coping skills and practical recovery strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication. It may support people with intense emotions, trauma symptoms, self-destructive patterns, or co-occurring mental health concerns.
Expressive Arts
Expressive arts therapy uses creative methods such as art, writing, music, movement, or drama to help clients explore emotions and experiences. It is often used as a supportive approach for trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, or recovery work.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
EMDR is a structured therapy often used for trauma-related symptoms and distressing memories. In treatment settings, it may support clients whose substance use or mental health symptoms are connected to traumatic experiences.
Family Therapy
Family therapy helps clients and loved ones address communication, boundaries, conflict, support systems, and the impact of substance use or mental health concerns on the household. It is an important treatment option when recovery involves family relationships.
Group Therapy
Group therapy brings clients together in a structured setting to discuss recovery, coping skills, accountability, relationships, and shared challenges. It is commonly used in addiction and mental health treatment at many levels of care.
Life Skills
Life skills programming helps clients build practical routines for daily stability, communication, employment readiness, budgeting, time management, and recovery planning. It is often used in residential, PHP, IOP, sober living, and transitional care.
Mindfulness Therapy
Mindfulness therapy uses attention, breathing, and awareness practices to help clients notice thoughts, cravings, and emotions without reacting automatically. It may support anxiety, depression, stress, trauma symptoms, and relapse prevention.
Trauma-Specific Therapy
Trauma-specific therapy focuses directly on the effects of trauma, including triggers, avoidance, emotional distress, and safety. It may be important when trauma history is connected to substance use, anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns.
Yoga
Yoga combines movement, breathing, and mindfulness practices that may support stress reduction, emotional regulation, sleep, and general wellness. It is best presented as a complementary recovery support rather than a standalone treatment.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
PTSD is a trauma-related condition that may involve intrusive memories, nightmares, avoidance, mood changes, sleep problems, and feeling constantly on edge.
