Personalized therapy that meets you where you are
Every person at Discover Recovery receives a personalized therapy plan tailored to their history, current needs, and long-term goals. Our clinicians use a wide range of evidence-based and experiential therapies to help you explore the root causes of addiction, develop healthier coping strategies, and build emotional resilience.Â
From structured approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to trauma-focused methods like EMDR and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we offer therapeutic tools that support both mental health and recovery. Â
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning to treatment, we meet you where you are with compassion, professionalism, and care that evolves with you. Â
What to expect during therapy
We have licensed therapists and counselors on staff who work with our medical and substance use treatment providers to ensure a comprehensive and integrated approach to healing. When you or your loved one starts treatment, we’ll create a therapy plan that might include different settings, including:
Individual
Multiple one-on-one sessions with a counselor every week to work on deep-rooted issues, learn coping skills, and build resilience for the recovery journey.Â
Group
Participation in group therapy sessions led by a trained therapist or counselor, where you or a loved one can gain new perspectives from others in recovery, practice communication skills, and build a sense of community.
Family
Involvement of loved ones in the recovery process to help mend relationships, foster honest communication, and create a safe space for healing within the family unit.

How therapy fits into the continuum of care
Therapy isn’t limited to a single program. It’s a consistent, evolving part of your care at every stage:Â
- Medical detox: You receive emotional support and basic psychoeducation during stabilization
- Residential treatment: Intensive individual and group therapy sessions begin, with a strong focus on mental health and trauma
- PHP or IOP: You continue structured therapy multiple times a week while beginning to re-enter daily life
- Outpatient and aftercare: We help you maintain progress through therapy referrals, alumni support, and relapse prevention planning
Our team meets you where you are, adjusting the frequency, intensity, and focus of therapy as clinical needs change. Â

Frequently asked questions
How does addiction affect mental health?
Addiction can significantly impact your mental and emotional well-being. It may intensify symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, or mood disorders, or contribute to their initial onset. In many cases, people use substances to self-medicate underlying mental health issues, which only worsens the cycle. We treat both addiction and mental health concurrently through dual diagnosis therapy.Â
What therapies are most effective for treating addiction?
The most effective therapies for addiction often include a combination of CBT, DBT, trauma therapy, and group counseling. The right mix depends on your history, co-occurring mental health conditions, and personal goals.Â
Do you offer therapy at all levels of care?
Yes. Therapy is integrated across every level of treatment, including detox, residential rehab, outpatient care, and aftercare planning. You’ll receive consistent therapeutic support no matter where you are in your recovery journey.Â
Can therapy really help with long-term recovery?
Absolutely. Therapy helps you build resilience, develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and understand the root causes of addiction. It also prepares you for life after treatment through relapse prevention and aftercare planning. Absolutely.
