Yellowstone Recovery | Located In Cody, WY

Animal Therapy:Yellowstone Recovery Center utilizes a variety of animals to assist in Animal Therapy. Their resident cats and dogs are frequently part of group therapy and individual therapy bringing support and comfort for their residents. In addition, they utilize equine assisted therapy for residents to assist in building social, emotional, or cognitive functioning. Other animals the patient may see include their chickens who not only provide non-judgmental relationships but also nutrition for their residents.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.Couples Therapy:Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person\'s life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.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.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 integrated into many aspects of programming at Yellowstone Recovery Center. The variety of activities available for clients to choose from assist in restoring motor, social and cognitive functioning, build confidence, develop coping skills and social skills, and integrate skills learned in treatment into community settings. Examples of activities include creative arts (crafts, music, dance, drama, among others), sports, adventure programming, dance/movement, and leisure education, tai chi, meditation, and yoga.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:Yellowstone Recovery Center believes family involvement in treatment is vital to the successful recovery of their clients. Family visits and contact are highly supported during the stay. In addition, they provide frequent family therapy opportunities to help heal the family unit. Examples include couples counseling, parenting, family unit counseling, group family therapy, and family recreational therapy. Mental health and addictions affects not only the individual but family relationships as well.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.Life Skills:As an individual enters treatment, it is likely they have become less interested in activities that in the past has brought them joy and comfort. The idea behind life skills therapy is to reunite individuals with those interests that they have been involved and to introduce new interests that will support long term recovery. Additionally, life skills therapy focuses on life and relationships. Life is about building and maintaining supportive relationships. They depend on others and others depend on them. Life skills therapy provides positive reinforcement for the development and improvement of life long relationships.Nutrition Therapy:Few people are aware of the connection between nutrition and mental health disorders and addictions while they easily understand the connection between nutritional deficiencies and physical illness. Nutritional neuroscience is an emerging discipline shedding light on the fact that nutritional factors are intertwined with human cognition, behavior, and emotions. At Yellowstone Recovery Center they understand the role good nutritional plays in creating balance in life. It is truly amazing when they can watch the transformation of individual moods and outlook on life after implementing good healthy food to feed the mind, body, and spirit. Meals are planned based on the need for healing and focus on whole foods.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.
