You will have a substance evaluation when you come in for treatment. The staff will ask you about your drug use. They will also ask questions about your day to day life and your mental health history.
They provide group and individual therapy here. Group sessions will give you the opportunity to talk to other people with SUD about your daily struggles and the best way to cope with those struggles. They offer therapy at their facility and at schools.
Individual therapy will be customized to your needs. They use several different methodologies here.
You may be treated with trauma-focused therapy. This is usually offered to people who started using substances because of a traumatic experience. It will teach you how to reprocess traumatic memories.
They often use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for people who have been through trauma. In this type of treatment, you will focus on a troubling memory while moving your eyes back and forth. This is designed to help you have a different physical response to the memory of traumatic events.
They also treat clients with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). These types of therapy will teach you how to think differently in order to make better decisions. They offer coping mechanisms for dealing with high stress situations.
The doctor may use motivational interviewing (MI) as well. In this type of therapy, they will ask you questions designed to help you find your own motivation to change.
