About The Pavilion at Williamsburg Place – Williamsburg
The Pavilion at Williamsburg Place is a residential addiction and mental health treatment center based in Williamsburg, Virginia. They have capacity for 66 adults and seniors. Along with substance use disorder, they’re also able to treat depression, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder. They also offer outpatient care for those who don’t need round-the-clock support.
Their acute care programs are designed to stabilize your condition quickly, providing intensive levels of care for anyone considered a danger to themselves or the people around them, and to people who can no longer function due to a psychiatric condition.
As part of their treatment program, they use a number of different methods in conjunction with individual and group therapy. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on restructuring your thought patterns and behavior patterns that contribute to substance use or mental health disorders. The idea is to shift your internal feelings so that you have more control over your external actions.
Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a type of CBT. It focuses specifically on giving you the skills needed to navigate intense negative emotions and work through relational conflicts. I believe it’s slightly more practical than CBT because the goal is to build new skills that help you manage challenging situations.
For older adults in particular, they offer recreational therapy like exercise and games to improve their cognitive function and help them feel happier overall. They also host fun karaoke sessions so all residents can spend time together in a light-hearted way.
