Treatment Approaches
How We Approach Treatment
Our treatment approaches at STR Behavioral Health aim to empower clients in their journeys toward lasting recovery. Our comprehensive programs include detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and supportive recovery housing (STRIDE). We prioritize evidence-based therapies proven to be effective in supporting lasting recovery.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than control them. Through techniques like mindfulness and clarifying personal values, ACT aims to enhance psychological flexibility, present-moment awareness, and action aligned with values. It benefits mental health, relationships, self-acceptance, and addiction treatment. ACT can be customized to individual needs, providing a transformative path to navigate challenges and lead a fulfilling life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a valuable counseling approach for mental health disorders and addiction. It fosters healthier coping skills, challenges negative thoughts, modifies behaviors, and builds resilience. CBT treats multiple conditions, encourages collaboration, and promotes self-reflection. It is used in comprehensive treatment plans for anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, OCD, PTSD, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. CBT offers lasting positive changes in mental health and addiction treatment programs.
Contingency Management
Contingency Management plays a crucial role in addiction recovery, equipping individuals with tools to maintain sobriety. It identifies triggers and provides positive reinforcement, helping people develop coping mechanisms to prevent relapse. It also addresses underlying mental health issues through medication-assisted treatment.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized therapeutic approach designed to help individuals with emotional regulation and interpersonal difficulties. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to teach individuals how to manage their emotions, tolerate distress, and improve their relationships. It focuses on achieving a balance between acceptance and change, equipping clients with valuable skills to navigate challenging emotions and situations, making it a vital component of their treatment approach.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential therapy fosters emotional healing, personal growth, improved communication, and stress reduction. It engages individuals in hands-on experiences like role-playing and art therapy. The benefits include emotional healing, personal growth, communication enhancement, and stress reduction. It is effective in mental health treatment and addiction recovery, helping individuals process emotions, challenge negative thoughts, and develop healthier coping strategies. Experiential therapy is part of a holistic approach to sustainable recovery at Steps to Recovery.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a valuable approach to mental health and addiction treatment. It offers support, diverse perspectives, and personal growth. Different types of group therapy cater to specific needs. Benefits include a supportive community, shared wisdom, self-awareness, improved communication, and empowerment. Group therapy differs from individual therapy. It may not be suitable for severe conditions or those uncomfortable with sharing. It effectively overcomes isolation, teaches coping strategies, builds relapse prevention skills, and normalizes experiences.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy is a comprehensive approach to treatment that focuses on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It promotes balance and healing by integrating complementary therapies such as mindfulness, sound therapy, and meditation. This treatment recognizes the interconnectedness of different aspects of a person’s life, making it an essential part of recovery.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is powerful for addressing mental health concerns and personal growth. It offers a personalized approach, confidentiality, emotional support, self-exploration, coping skills development, and goal setting. It differs from group therapy by focusing solely on the individual’s needs. Individual therapy is used in mental health and addiction treatment to manage symptoms, explore underlying causes, and develop coping strategies. It provides a supportive and transformative experience tailored to the individual’s needs.
Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT)
Medication-assisted therapy is a type of evidence-based treatment that combines prescription drugs with counseling and therapy to help people with substance use. This treatment is especially useful for those struggling with opioid and alcohol addiction. It uses approved medications to reduce cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and the physical effects of addiction. At the same time, it provides therapeutic support to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction.
Medication Therapy Management (MTM)
Medication therapy management (MTM) optimizes medication use, improves safety, and enhances treatment effectiveness. It offers personalized care and cost savings and prevents medication-related problems. In mental health and addiction treatment, MTM is vital for appropriate medication use and supporting recovery. It ensures optimal outcomes adherence and minimizes risks. By incorporating MTM, healthcare providers provide higher-quality care and support for clients’ overall well-being.
Meditation Therapy
Meditation therapy offers numerous benefits for mental health and addiction treatment. By incorporating meditation into daily life, individuals can reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, enhance focus, and promote overall health. It supports their journey of recovery and personal growth. Seek professional guidance for personalized support and integration into treatment plans. Embrace meditation as a transformative practice for a balanced life.
