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.
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.
Couples Counseling
Couples counseling helps partners address communication, trust, boundaries, conflict, and the effect of substance use or mental health symptoms on the relationship. It may be used when recovery involves relationship repair or partner support.
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.
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.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy helps clients examine the stories they hold about themselves, their past, and their recovery. It may support people working through shame, identity, trauma, relationship stress, or long-standing negative self-beliefs.
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.
