Before treatment begins, you will have a full assessment. This will determine the treatment method that will work best for you and the level of care that you need. Some people will need to come in several times a week for treatment and others may only need to come in once a week.

All clients participate in group therapy and individual sessions. The therapist here used several therapeutic methods. You may be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy which teaches people to think differently to change their behavior.

They also used dialectical behavioral therapy which is an offshoot of CBT customed for people who experience emotions intensely. It teaches you to accept the reality of your life while changing your attitude about it.

Some therapists use motivational interviewing. In this treatment, the therapist remains objective and asks you questions designed to find your motivation to change.
