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.
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.
Life Skills
Life skills programming helps clients build practical routines for daily stability, communication, employment readiness, budgeting, time management, and recovery planning. It is often used in residential, PHP, IOP, sober living, and transitional care.
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.
