The “whole-patient” approach at Florida Treatment Services recognizes that addiction is a complex disorder that grips both the body and the mind. That’s why counseling and therapy are important components of Medication-Assisted Treatment. While prescription medicines can help break the physical addiction by easing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, it’s vital that a patient become aware of the emotional and psychological processes that compel self-destructive behavior.
Empowering Your Future
Breaking the physical addiction is only half the battle. It’s one thing to get clean, it’s another to stay that way. Substance abuse therapy helps prevent relapses by preparing the patient to deal with thestressful situations and challenges that trigger desire. Many people learned to use drugs as a way to cope with life’s difficulties. Therapy and counseling can help develop new, healthy ways to deal with problems so that hope, positive energy, and optimism become real alternatives to discouragement and despair.
Therapy That Works for YOU
Substance abuse therapy has come a long way in recent years, and several new and effective approaches have been developed. Experience has shown that no one way is superior to another. The key is to determine which therapy, or combination of therapies, will work for a given individual. The best way is the way that works specifically for you.
At Florida Treatment Services, we offer an array of therapy options designed to complement the medicinal component of Medication-Assisted Treatment. We have expert, professional substance use therapists and counselors who provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Individual, Group & Family Therapy.
Substance Abuse Therapies
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT is based on the idea that addicts who understand why they feel triggered to start using again in certain situations have a much better chance of staying clean. Learning Trigger Management Skills helps patients recognize why they feel the urge to use, ways to deal with these thoughts, and how to avoid them in the first place.
Motivational Interviewing The goal of this method is to discover a patient’s strongest motivation for wanting to get and stay clean, be it family, work, or faith. A therapist helps keep a recovering addict focused on the reasons he or she wants to live a drug-free life.
Individual, Group & Family Therapy Individual therapy can help those with underlying conditions like anxiety and depression, while group therapy is useful for getting support and feedback from others with similar challenges. Sometimes family therapy is the best option so that those closest to a recovering addict can offer love and support while gaining insight and understanding.
