Animal Therapy:Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy in Colorado that works to help clients re-frame their thoughts, thereby allowing them to change their behavior. Clients will steadily work to detect automatic negative thoughts about addiction, and then their therapist will work to help patients replace those thoughts with more positive and accurate thoughts. Over time, this can help patients combat cravings and move beyond depression. Couples Therapy:Couples counseling in Colorado is a chance to treat the effects addiction has had on client\'s relationship. Together clients will explore conflict management strategies, discuss issues with intimacy, and develop a plan for getting their relationship back on track. If patients are unsure whether they should stay in their current relationship, couples counseling can help them make the decision together in a respectful manner.Creative Arts Therapy:Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.Dialectical Behavior Therapy:Dialectical-behavioral therapy was originally developed to treat the relationship challenges people with borderline personality disorder face. DBT works by helping clients more effectively manage the emotions that cause they to use drugs and alcohol. DBT therapists in Colorado meet with you one-on-one once per week, but you\'ll also have group therapy sessions. Equine Therapy:Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.Experiential Therapy:Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing:EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist\'s finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.Family Therapy:Addiction is a family disease. Loved ones may not use drugs or alcohol, but their lives are almost certainly affected by client\'s addiction. Family therapy gives patients the chance to treat the family issues the addiction has caused. Therapist can help clients make amends to their family, educate their family about the disease of addiction, or address underlying issues that led to the addiction. Family therapy is especially important for teen and young adult addicts, and for parents whose addiction has impacted their children.Group Therapy:Group therapy in Colorado is a popular option for treating addiction because in a group therapy session, clients can explore common issues with people who have been where clients are now. In this approach, the therapist is more of a facilitator than an active participant. Individual Therapy:Individual therapy is the single most important option for moving past addiction. No matter what other settings clients choose, therapist will likely recommend individual therapy. Individual therapy offers patients complete confidentiality, in conjunction with the therapist\'s undivided attention. While other forms of therapy focus on clients relationships with others, individual therapy is patients chance to explore mind, behavior patterns, and relationships.Life Skills:Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.Motivational Interviewing:Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.Nutrition Therapy:Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.Recreational Therapy:Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients\' physical, social, and emotional well-being.Trauma Therapy:Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client\'s past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
