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. CMT 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.One of the goals with CBT is learning to anticipate what problems may arise. Patients learn to be in control of these negative, addictive behaviors. They develop their own coping strategies to learn how to avoid them.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 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.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:Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) has been found to be very effective in treating addiction. It is a new type of psychotherapy that is helpful when trauma is a component of addiction. Patients follow the therapist\'s hand movements with their eyes. During this time, they are asked to recall a disturbing event in their lives.Eventually, the therapist guides the patient to think about more pleasant events or thoughts. This weakens the effect of negative emotions. Eventually, the disturbing thoughts begin to feel less severe. Patients find that they are more in control of them.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.Multidimensional Family Drug Rehabilitation Therapy (MDFT) at Northpoint has been shown to be very effective for young people with addictions. For adolescents with addictions, incorporating this type of treatment is crucial.There are several goals with MDFT. First and foremost is to keep the family together and thriving. Family stability is critical in order for the young person to be successful. Any mental health symptoms are addressed with the appropriate forms of therapy. Mental health conditions are often and underlying cause of addiction. Most families are not aware of this fact.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 has been shown to be very helpful for those in drug rehab programs. People are often nervous about group therapy. They don\'t like the idea of sitting down with a group of strangers and talking about personal issues. However, what they usually find is that they\'re able to learn so much more about themselves.Patients usually experience group therapy in a number of different settings. There may be 12 Step programs, which are group-oriented. There may also be other types of groups that cover various subjects. In listening to others share their stories, patients get to know one another. Over time, trust is built and they feel more comfortable sharing.Individual Therapy:All patients who enter a drug rehab center will participate in individual counseling sessions. These sessions are critical in the recovery process. During individual counseling sessions, the therapist will get to know the patient better. Establishing trust is very important.Once the therapist has a better understanding of the patient\'s addiction, he or she will begin therapy. One of the above methods are often used, or a combination of them. The goal is to understand the reasons behind the addiction. Those root causes are targeted, resulting in a much better, long-term recovery.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.Many people who are entering drug rehab find that they lack the needed motivation to recover. Motivational Interviewing (MI) addresses this problem. It can be such a barrier for recovery; even in those who want it.MI allows patients to grasp what they feel is important as a part of their recovery journey. In the process, they are able to overcome denial. They make their own conclusions about their drug use, and they develop a desire to change. That desire comes from within, not from a counselor.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.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.
