About Progress House – Placerville
Progress House offers alcohol and drug treatment services in Placerville, California. It’s located on Highway 49, just under an hour outside of Sacramento and an hour and a half away from Lake Tahoe. Progress House offers relapse prevention, counseling sessions and anger management treatment as well as intake services for residential programs at other locations.
Group counseling services will typically cover topics such as triggers, trauma, coping strategies and other substance use related topics. You’ll have a chance to share your experiences with your recovery as well as receive insight from your peers. The counselor will facilitate discussion and make sure to create an environment that’s supportive for everyone.
In your individual counseling sessions, your counselor works with you to uncover the causes of your addiction. They’ll also help you come up with a treatment plan that supports your needs and make adjustments as needed. Some helpful therapeutic approaches your counselor may use include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing. DBT is designed to teach you how to regulate your emotions and manage your stress so you’ll be less likely to relapse. Motivational interviewing can help with increasing your desire to change.
It’s not uncommon for anger to be a contributing factor in one’s addiction. Anger management services at Progress House will help you find healthy ways to cope with your anger that don’t involve using substances.
I like that the facility understands that substance abuse is a complex issue. They acknowledge that it’s more than just an individual issue by also providing parenting and family services. And they offer intake services at this location to enroll you in more intensive inpatient programs if that is the type of care you need.
