We take a holistic approach to treating drug addiction that includes treating the whole person, and find that it tends to be more successful, especially since drug addiction affects every aspect of a person’s life. With a customized and individualized program, a holistic approach just makes sense. It affords an opportunity to meet the patient’s physical and psychological needs and allows them to engage physically, emotionally, and mentally. These holistic techniques support addiction treatment in several ways: Reduced physical symptoms of addiction and withdrawal, such as anxiety or muscle aches and pains Better emotional balance More spiritual grounding Healthier eating habits, resulting in a neurochemical balance. Healing from Trauma and Addiction Through DBT.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) gives individuals new aptitudes to oversee excruciating feelings and reduce interpersonal frustrations. DBT explicitly centers around giving restorative abilities in four crucial aspects. Mindfulness centers around improving a person’s capacity to acknowledge and be available in the moment. Distress tolerance is designed for expanding an individual’s resilience of negative feeling, as opposed to attempting to escape from it. Emotional regulation consists of tools to oversee and change extreme feelings that are messing up an individual’s life. Interpersonal effectiveness comprises of methods that permit an individual to speak with others in a manner that is confident and assertive, keeps up confidence and self respect, and reinforces connections and relationships.
Treating the Underlying Issues- Trauma & PTSD
When someone experiences a traumatic event or on-going trauma, the brain sometimes shuts down the memory to protect the individual. When a triggering object, words, actions, or events occur, it sends a signal to the brain that the person is in danger and alerts them through the fight or flight response. People can go years or decades without knowing why they get emotional or get bodily symptoms, such as anxiety when these triggers pop up. Our treatment for trauma incorporates several elements that include dynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, trauma process groups, and more. There are several trauma disorders in which trauma process groups can help: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder (ASD), childhood trauma disorders, dissociative disorders, and adjustment disorders. The program can be individual or in a group setting. Our therapeutic team will determine the most appropriate modality and frequency.
