About Onsite Workshops – Cumberland Furnace
Onsite Workshops Therapy and Counseling is located in Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee. They take a different approach to inpatient recovery from substance use and mental health disorders by using methods other than a traditional 12 Step program.
This place is a scenic 250 acre recovery setting just outside of Nashville where you can stay for a week or more to connect with nature, reprogram, recharge and begin to recover from substance abuse. It’s a place to find your path to a healthy mental state, with the help of the staff and your peers.
They use experiential therapy to treat substance abuse, trauma, grief and loss issues and even to help someone with daily struggles. The main thought in experiential therapy is that a person’s perception determines their behavior. Methods used include play therapy, musical and art therapy, wilderness therapy and animal assisted therapy.
They also have group therapy sessions with one or more therapists, which are considered psychotherapy or psychodynamic group therapy. The context within the group is utilized for change by exploring and examining relationships.
One of the more unique programs they have is psychodrama therapy. In this setting, you perform a dramatic scene to act out a past life event that has caused or continues to cause distress for you. By doing this in a safe environment it helps you process and let go of negative emotions that linger from the event. It also helps handle similar situations more easily in the future.
Another method of treatment is dialectical behavioral therapy or DBT. DBT is for people who feel extra intense emotions, and it’s designed to help you understand and adapt to these extreme feelings.
They also work on IFS or internal family systems. These help people resolve problems within their families, which is often the cause or start of other issues like substance abuse.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is another option here that helps those with depression and several other types of mental disorders. There’s somatic therapy, too, which uses psychotherapy, physical and holistic therapies to help with recovery.
