They have medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including buprenorphine for opioid dependence. Psychological services include a comprehensive psychiatric assessment with medication management if appropriate. They also have medically supervised, office-based detoxification.
They have many types of therapy including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), exposure therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
Motivational interviewing is a nonjudgmental and nonconfrontational process that helps you work toward a better future through changing goals. Their CBT program helps you replace destructive and negative thoughts and beliefs with more positive and healthy ones. In addition, DBT helps you learn to regulate your emotions, tolerate stress and improve your relationships while EMDR helps you work through issues related to past trauma and present conditions.
Therapy sessions will help you understand the root of your substance use and mental health issues. Once you understand your triggers and what drives you to use, it’s easier to make changes, manage your mental health, and avoid the things that cause you to use. Many people with substance use and addiction issues have co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. Getting treatment for your mental health is one of the most important parts of treating your substance use.
