What Is Addiction Therapy?
Addiction therapy is a crucial part of the recovery process for those struggling with substance abuse. It involves a range of therapeutic techniques and approaches, such as individual counseling, group counseling, and holistic therapy, to address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of addiction and help you work toward lasting recovery.
Therapy is critical in achieving recovery because it allows you to address the root causes of addiction and acquire the skills required to manage and overcome addictive behaviors. By offering a supportive and structured environment, therapy enables you to explore the connections between your emotions, thoughts, and actions and how they contribute to your addiction. With the guidance of our recovery specialists, you can develop practical tools to cope with triggers and cravings.
It can also help you improve your mental and emotional well-being, rebuild relationships, and achieve a healthier, more fulfilling life in sobriety. Overall, addiction therapy is crucial to the recovery process and offers the hope, support, and guidance needed to achieve lasting and meaningful change.
Addiction Therapy at Green Acres Wellness
Because the recovery journey varies from person to person, we offer a wide range of options for therapy. After an evaluation, we can help you enroll in the right programs for you based on your needs.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling provides one-on-one support and guidance to individuals struggling with addiction. During individual counseling sessions, a recovery specialist works with you to explore the underlying issues that contribute to your addiction and facilitate the development of coping mechanisms to avoid relapse.
Through individual counseling, you can gain insight into the root causes of your substance abuse, develop practical coping strategies, improve your mental health, and enhance your overall quality of life. This therapy approach offers a safe and non-judgmental environment to share your thoughts and feelings while also receiving personalized guidance and support from a trained professional.Â
Group Counseling
Group counseling involves a licensed therapist working with a group of individuals struggling with similar substance abuse problems. During group counseling sessions, participants have the opportunity to share their experiences and feelings in a supportive environment, gain insight into their addiction, and develop coping skills to help avoid relapse.
Group counseling provides a sense of community and support, which can hugely benefit the recovery process. The shared experiences of group members can help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles. Connecting with peers in a safe and supportive environment can help you build self-esteem, improve interpersonal skills, and develop healthy, supportive relationships.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy addresses you as a whole person, including your physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. This approach recognizes the interconnectedness of these aspects of the human experience and seeks to heal them in unison rather than treating them in isolation.
At Green Acres Wellness, we offer the following holistic therapies:
- Art therapy uses the creative process of making art to help individuals improve their mental health and well-being.
- Yoga combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to promote overall well-being. It can aid in recovery by reducing stress and anxiety, improving self-awareness, and promoting relaxation and healthier coping mechanisms.
- Pickleball therapy helps individuals by promoting physical activity, social interaction, and self-confidence, all of which can aid in your recovery from addiction.
- And more!Â
These techniques can help you reduce stress, increase self-awareness and self-esteem, and develop the skills to cope with triggers and cravings. They also provide an outlet for you to express yourself in new ways.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Evidence-based treatment is an approach to addiction treatment that relies on scientific evidence and proven practices to design and implement treatment plans. In other words, the treatments used in evidence-based programs have been clinically tested and shown to be effective in managing addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying negative patterns of thinking and behavior that reinforce addictive behavior. CBT is centered around the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected, and negative or distorted thinking patterns can lead to addictive behaviors.
In the context of addiction recovery, CBT is used to identify and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to addiction. You will learn to reframe negative thoughts and replace them with positive, rational ones. By addressing thought patterns that lead to addictive behaviors, you can learn to manage your emotions and behavior more effectively, reducing the risk of relapse.
CBT also teaches effective coping mechanisms to manage cravings and triggers. You will learn how to develop new ways of thinking and responding to situations that may have once led to substance use, providing a sense of control, empowerment, and skills to sustain recovery.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) was initially developed to treat patients with borderline personality disorder but has been found to be very effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including addiction.
In addiction recovery, DBT can teach you skills in managing emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating stress without resorting to addictive behaviors.Â
DBT focuses on four key areas:Â
- Mindfulness. DBT teaches you how to be present in the current moment and focus on the here and now. By developing mindfulness skills, you can learn to be more aware of your thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them.
- Distress Tolerance. Distress tolerance teaches you how to handle stressful situations without turning to addictive behaviors. You learn new skills to manage uncomfortable feelings and emotions, such as breathing exercises and visualization techniques.
- Emotion Regulation. Emotion regulation can help you learn to identify and manage your emotions more effectively. It also teaches you to regulate the intensity of your feelings, ultimately leading to more constructive behaviors.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness. Interpersonal effectiveness focuses on improving communication and building healthy relationships with others. It can teach you how to express your feelings and opinions in an assertive yet respectful way, ultimately leading to more meaningful interactions.
Family Therapy
Addiction doesn’t just affect a person, it also affects their friends, family, and loved ones.Â
Family therapy is designed to help everyone involved in the recovery process understand each other better, communicate more effectively, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
During family therapy sessions, you will work with a recovery specialist to address any issues contributing to or resulting from you or your loved one’s addiction. This may include addressing dysfunctional patterns of communication, exploring family dynamics, and/or healing past traumas.
Family therapy can help improve communication, promote understanding and empathy, and strengthen relationships between family members. It can also provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to work through any issues that may be hindering their loved one’s recovery process.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Many individuals who struggle with addiction have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or violence. Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that trauma can significantly impact your emotional and mental health and that traditional treatments may not adequately address these underlying issues.
Trauma-informed therapy aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to identify and work through your trauma. It emphasizes the importance of building a trusting and collaborative relationship between you and your recovery specialist as the foundation of the healing process.Â
