Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Strengths-Based
Providers using a strengths-based philosophy focus on the positive traits of their patients, creating a positive feedback loop that grows confidence.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Play Therapy
This approach is commonly used with children. It incorporates elements of play and self-expression, like boardgames, finger painting, dolls, and blocks.
Trauma-Specific Therapy
This form of talk therapy addresses any childhood trauma at the root of a patient's current diagnosis.
Online Therapy
Patients can connect with a therapist via videochat, messaging, email, or phone. Remote therapy makes treatment more accessible.
Eye Movement Therapy (EMDR)
Lateral, guided eye movements help reduce the emotional reactions of retelling and reprocessing trauma, allowing intense feelings to dissipate.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
MBCT combines mindfulness practices—like meditation—with cognitive therapy techniques to help patients work through negative thought patterns.
Motivational Interviewing
Based on the idea that motivation to change comes from within, providers use a conversational framework to discover personalized methods for change.
