Treatments

1-on-1 Counseling

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.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that involves stimulating specific points on the body. Some programs may use it as supportive care for stress, discomfort, cravings, or relaxation, but it should not be presented as a replacement for clinical addiction or mental health treatment.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback

Biofeedback uses sensors or monitoring tools to help clients understand and regulate physical responses such as breathing, muscle tension, or stress. It may be used as supportive care for anxiety, stress management, trauma symptoms, or emotional regulation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

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

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.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

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 & 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

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.

Music Therapy

Music Therapy

Music therapy uses music-based activities such as listening, songwriting, rhythm, or discussion to support emotional expression, coping, and connection. It may be helpful as a supportive service for trauma, mood symptoms, stress, or recovery engagement.

Psychodrama Therapy

Psychodrama Therapy

Psychodrama therapy uses role-play and guided dramatic exercises to help clients explore relationships, emotions, conflict, and past experiences. It may be used as an experiential method within broader mental health or addiction treatment.

Recreation Therapy

Recreation Therapy

Recreation therapy uses structured recreational activities to support social connection, stress reduction, confidence, and healthy routines. It is often used as a supportive service in residential or extended-care programs.

Relapse Prevention Counseling

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.

Yoga

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.

Co-Occurring Disorders
