The therapists who work here are all trained and licensed. You will have a full intake meeting when you come into the facility. Their services are always confidential.
Your services will start with an intake assessment. You will be asked a series of questions about your drug use and your medical history. Your assessment will be evaluated to see if you have a co-occurring mental health disorder.
They treat clients with individual therapy. People with substance issues are often treated with cognitive behavioral therapy. This is a method that encourages people to understand their current thought processes and change them to a more positive way of thinking. When a person thinks more positively, they are more likely to stop destructive behaviors.
You may be treated with dialectical behavior therapy if you are experiencing mental health issues at the same time as a substance use disorder. This method teaches people to accept their circumstances and manage their emotions better.
They also offer aftercare support. The staff can refer you to sober living homes. They can also help you find 12 Step meetings in your area. If you are unhoused and unemployed, they can help you to find housing.
