What are the most common types of addictions treated in therapy?
The most common addictions treated in therapy include alcohol, drugs, nicotine, and gambling. Behavioral addictions, such as internet addiction, shopping addiction, and eating disorders, are also increasingly common.
What treatment methods are used in addiction therapy?
Addiction therapy utilizes various methods, including individual therapy, group therapy, pharmacotherapy, and behavioral therapy. Family therapy and 12-step programs, such as those used by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), are also frequently employed.
Does addiction treatment always require hospitalization?
Not always. Hospitalization is typically recommended for severe addictions where there is a risk of serious withdrawal symptoms or other health complications. For less severe cases, outpatient treatment, which does not require a constant stay in a facility, may be sufficient.
What are the first steps to take to begin addiction treatment?
The first step is recognizing the problem and wanting to change. Next, you should contact a professional – a psychologist, addiction therapist, or doctor – who can assess your situation and suggest an appropriate treatment plan. You can also reach out to organizations that offer support for individuals struggling with addiction.
What are some long-term strategies for preventing relapse?
Long-term strategies include regular participation in therapy, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, developing positive social relationships, avoiding high-risk situations, and using support groups. It is also beneficial to work on stress and emotion management skills, which can help prevent relapse.
What programs do you offer?
We offer a range of programs designed to meet you where you are in your recovery journey. Our core programs include Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Outpatient Programs (OP), and our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), which is launching soon.
