Issues like drug or alcohol addiction often affect more than just the person who is addicted. Family members and the relationship between the family and the addicted person can suffer greatly as a result of these types of disorders. Family counseling is one of the best ways to reconnect with family members who are affected by addiction and mend the relationship between a client and their family.
Treatment plans within family counseling will vary on a case-by-case basis and can help teach proper communication skills and conflict-resolution skills. Family counseling can be incredibly beneficial in working through resentments, addressing grief, and establishing communication between people who were once close to each other. With instances of substance abuse, family counseling is able to provide a safe and open space for families to talk through their problems and resolve conflicts that may have arisen as a result of a client’s addictive behavior.
During individual and group therapy sessions, clients will interact with licensed and trained counselors to work through underlying issues that may be contributing to their drug or alcohol addiction.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (also known as CBT) has been clinically proven to help clients with a wide range of problems, including substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (or DBT) is another common form of talk therapy that is found in many substance abuse treatment programs.
During trauma-informed therapy sessions, clients are able to talk with a specialist who accounts for their past trauma and the way it may have affected their thinking, behavior, and ability to interact with treatment.
Brainspotting is a type of alternative therapy that utilizes spots in a person's field of vision in order to help them process trauma.
Neuro Feedback is a type of noninvasive therapy that helps clients to alter the way their brain responds to certain types of stimuli.
Family counseling is one of the best ways to reconnect with family members who are affected by addiction and mend the relationship between a client and their family.
