Often a staple of holistic recovery, Process Groups are groups-based sessions that consist of ten or more clients led by one or more group leaders. The focus is on creating a safe space for open, honest communication in which participants can share their thoughts, feelings, concerns, and even their optimism for their recoveries.

Psychoeducational Groups are another type of group-based session, consisting of ten or more clients led by one or more group leaders. However, with Psychoeducational Groups, the focus is on learning more about the psychology of addiction and recovery. These sessions often impart valuable life skills and recovery strategies to facilitate long-term sobriety.

Part of a broad family of therapeutic techniques, Experiential Therapies take both clients and therapists outside of the traditional office setting, providing a variety of hands-on activities that often have emotional and/or symbolic significance. Some of the more common Experiential Therapies include Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and Equine Therapy.

Arguably the most important fundamental treatment for addiction, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is rooted in behavior modification. The purpose of CBT in addiction treatment is to help identify and address problematic thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors that directly contribute to one’s addiction.

Many people in active addiction don’t practice routine self-care, so we provide Healthy Lifestyles Training to ensure optimal health as they progress in recovery. This includes learning (or re-learning) about diet and nutrition, stress management, and the importance of exercise.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is commonly used as a psychotherapeutic treatment for someone who exhibits chronic maladaptive or self-destructive behavior. The key tenets of DBT are mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
