Substance Abuse Counseling/Groups
As mental health providers, it’s important to create a safe space for growth and recovery, and that’s especially true when you work with people struggling with addiction. Drug and alcohol addiction is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment. It affects the individual, their loved ones, communities, and society. Fortunately, there are various resources available to help people struggling with addiction, and one of them is group therapy. Group therapy is a highly effective form of counseling that brings together a trained therapist and a group of individuals facing similar challenges, such as addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma. This therapeutic approach can take various formats, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducation sessions, or support groups tailored to specific needs.
Techniques used in Group therapy
Techniques used in Group therapy
- Psychoeducation – Providing information about addiction, recovery, and mental health
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – Identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors
- Mindfulness-based therapy – Cultivating mindful awareness, acceptance, and non-judgmental attitude
- Family therapy – Improving family communication, boundaries, and relationships
- Group support – Providing a safe and supportive environment where people can share their experiences, feelings, and challenges
Comprehensive Assessments (Adult & Children)
The comprehensive assessment is a thorough assessment done to determine a client's service needs. It looks at multiple aspects of a person, such as psychological state, personal and family history, and demographics, with the primary goal of making practical, targeted treatment plans that result in exceptional outcomes for each client. The assessment can have verbal and written components designed to draw together a clinical formulation that can be the working basis for healing. In addition to establishing the main diagnosis, a psychological evaluation can reveal strengths that can be used in the recovery process and underlying problems that must be addressed for therapy to be effective, such as learning disabilities or age-related cognitive impairment.
The therapist will ask you questions about many aspects of your life, including:
- Chief complaint(s)
- Medical and mental health history
- Education and Employment
- Social history
- History of substance use
Family Counseling
Family counseling is a method for developing and maintaining healthy and functional family relationships. The goal is to identify and address problems in the family, which could be emotional, psychological, or behavioral. Family therapy can help resolve relationship issues and conflicts within the family and can involve children, parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, and other family members who are part of the family system.
