Trauma Therapy

Individuals in this program are offered a personalized treatment plan addressing each of the three types of trauma: acute, chronic, and complex. We will assess which types of trauma each individual may have, whether it is verbal and physical abuse, neglect, or different types of trauma to better work through it and it’s connection to addiction.

Brainspotting

If you feel at a standstill with your progress in other addiction treatment therapies, Brainspotting can help you dig a bit deeper. It can also help you find other underlying issues you and your therapists had never confronted.

Types of Therapy

In addiction recovery, different types of therapy offer unique pathways to healing and growth. Individual therapy provides one-on-one support to explore underlying issues and build coping skills in a private setting. Group therapy fosters connection and accountability through shared experiences with others in recovery. Family therapy helps repair relationships, improve communication, and create a stronger support system at home—all essential components of long-term recovery.

Individual Therapy

An individual therapy program is a key component of addiction recovery. One-on-one therapy sessions allow you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and judgment-free environment with the help of an addiction counselor.

Group Therapy

Group therapy for addiction treatment can be an incredibly productive time for patients to reflect, communicate and learn from each other. Recovery should not be done alone, and one of the many benefits of group therapy programs is the sense of community that is formed.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is beneficial for the client and the family of the client. The client is able to see the support system they have around them. The family is able to openly resolve any problems they may be struggling with due to the clients addiction.

Holistic Therapies

Holistic therapies take a whole-person approach to healing by addressing the mind, body, and spirit together. Rather than focusing on addiction alone, these methods aim to uncover the root causes of mental health and addiction and promote overall well-being. By integrating physical health, emotional balance, and inner growth, holistic therapies support a deeper, more sustainable sense of wellness.

Adventure Therapy

Adventure therapy is a form of experiential psychotherapy where exciting outdoor challenges are used to help with personal transformation. The goal is to improve an individual’s overall physical, spiritual, social, and psychological well being. Through adventurous activities, individuals are encouraged to push their limits and work through any challenges and obstacles they face.

Art Therapy

One of the most unique and effective options is our art therapy program, which provides a creative outlet for individuals working through the recovery process. As part of our comprehensive program, art therapy allows clients to express emotions, process difficult experiences, and find healing in a non-verbal way.

12-Step Approach Therapy Program

One of the most widely recognized and effective models we integrate into our programs is the 12-step approach, a proven method that provides a structured path toward healing and long-term recovery.
