Ashwood Recovery at Northpoint – Boise | Located In Boise, ID

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one\'s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient\'s own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.Dialectical Behavior Therapy:Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.Eating Disorder Treatment:Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.At Ashwood, they believe that specific eating disorders, including overeating, exercise addictions, and bulimia, overlap with addictive disorders in the way of dopamine release. The sufferer can learn to manipulate addictive amounts of endorphins through behaviors without the use of substances. While issues of body image, self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts exacerbate these disorders, they are never the root cause. Ashwood believes that a person who suffers from one of these disorders must strive to be mindful of their disorder and always consider themselves to be in recovery. It is for this reason they recommend a successful 12-step based recovery when applicable.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:According to the Scientific American, EMDR is a type of psychotherapy has is becoming vastly popular because of the success that is being experienced by both practitioners and patients alike. EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and it utilizes the patient\'s rapid eye movements to help ease anxiety and process trauma. It has been found to be particularly useful for those who suffer with PTSD.When EMDR is performed, patients are asked to recall painful memories in their minds, and then follow back and forth finger movements with their eyes. In many ways, this is reminiscent of what happens when following a hypnotist\'s swinging watch. Family Therapy:Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.Families often find it very difficult to cope when someone they love is suffering from an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Prior to getting treatment, it\'s quite possible that their lives were turned upside down by the use of substances. There are so many ways that these relationships can suffer because of addictions, but help is available for family issues through intensive outpatient treatment.It can be so helpful for families to have a place to come and talk about the issues they\'re facing during the recovery process, and it\'s very likely that their relationships with their addicted or alcoholic loved ones need to be repaired as well. During intensive outpatient treatment, family members will have the opportunity to come and work with the patient. Fitness Therapy:Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.Group Therapy:Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.Individual Therapy:In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.Individual Addiction Counseling in Idaho has long been used to help those with addictive, mental health and behavioral disorders. These sessions are utilized to help our clients explore the root causes of their addiction. Our individual counseling services in Boise are included for everyone who attends counseling programs at Ashwood Recovery. These sessions are held once a week, and allow our clients the opportunity to develop trust and gain insight into themselves. The importance of this counseling is paramount to our program, and it is not uncommon for our clients to continue individual sessions following the completion of their Boise alcohol treatment, drug rehab or IOP level of care.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.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.
