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.
Adult-Child Therapy
Adult-child therapy focuses on unresolved family patterns, childhood experiences, and relationship dynamics that may affect adult behavior. It may be used when early family experiences are connected to emotional distress, attachment issues, or recovery challenges.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy focuses on relationships, role transitions, grief, communication, and social support. It may help clients whose depression, anxiety, substance use, or emotional distress is connected to relationship stress.
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.
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.
Solution-Focused, Goal-Oriented Therapy
Solution-focused therapy helps clients identify strengths, set practical goals, and build on what is already working. It may be useful for clients who need short-term, structured support around recovery, relationships, or life stability.
Stress Management
Stress management teaches clients practical tools to reduce emotional and physical stress, including breathing, planning, coping skills, sleep routines, and boundary-setting. It is often used to support relapse prevention and mental health stability.
