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.
Animal Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy uses supervised interaction with animals to support emotional regulation, trust, stress reduction, and connection. It may be helpful as a supportive service for clients who benefit from calming, relationship-based activities during treatment.
Canine Therapy
Canine therapy is a form of animal-assisted support involving trained dogs. It may help reduce stress, support emotional connection, and create a calmer treatment environment when offered under appropriate supervision.
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.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy uses structured activities, role-play, movement, art, or outdoor experiences to help clients process emotions and practice new skills. It may be useful when clients benefit from hands-on work beyond traditional talk therapy.
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.
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.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
MAT uses approved medications with counseling or recovery support when clinically appropriate. It is especially important for opioid use disorder and may also be used for alcohol use disorder.
Meditation & Mindfulness
Meditation and mindfulness practices help clients build present-moment awareness, manage stress, and respond to cravings or emotions with more intention. They are usually supportive practices used alongside clinical treatment.
Motivational Interviewing
MI helps clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is commonly used when someone is uncertain, resistant, or still building readiness for treatment or recovery.
Online Therapy
Online therapy allows clients to receive counseling or mental health support through secure video, phone, or digital platforms. It may be useful for outpatient care, continuing support, or people who need flexible access to treatment.
Play Therapy
Play therapy uses structured play to help children express feelings, process experiences, and develop coping skills. It is most relevant for programs serving children, adolescents, or families.
Relapse Prevention Counseling
Relapse prevention counseling helps clients identify triggers, warning signs, high-risk situations, and coping strategies. It is commonly used to support ongoing recovery after detox, residential treatment, PHP, IOP, or outpatient care.
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.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation helps clients understand addiction, mental health symptoms, medications, coping skills, relapse warning signs, and treatment expectations. It is commonly used across many levels of care to support informed participation in treatment.
