Individual therapy focuses on individualized mental health care therapy sessions. It’s a type of therapy customized for every patient and tailored to their unique mental health needs.
At Premiere Recovery Center, everyone in the room is working on addiction or substance abuse recovery of some sort, so all of our patients have that in common. We work together in varied group compositions for various elements group therapy in many facets of the diverse therapeutic modalities we engage with throughout treatment.
At the same time, each individual is unique and presents with distinct and complex challenges. These obstacles call for individually targeted coping skills and well-being intervention. Effective individual therapy sessions means tailoring each individual’s treatment plan to each individual’s unique requirements.
Different individuals will respond distinctively to various types of psychotherapy and therapy sessions within our range of evidence-based holistic approaches and health services. Also, people are grappling with different demons, even if they all tend to manifest in substance use and addiction.
Responsible mental health care – and substance abuse falls under the umbrella of mental health conditions – involves individual therapy treatment.
Individual therapy is the hub of the mental health treatment wheel. All wellness choices to maximize the individual’s mental health improvement through adherence to the customized treatment plan arise in these in-person consultations with clinicians dedicated to helping you achieve wellness and find the right coping strategies.
Most people in our addiction recovery treatment facility do not have an addiction alone. Nearly all of our patients also have underlying mental health challenges and health issues. In many cases, it is the mental health challenges that drive the individual to substance use and abuse in the first place.
Mental health issues are very uncomfortable for the individual to experience. They carry a lot of fear, uncertainty, and internal combat along with a great deal of mental, emotional, and often physical anguish and always poor self-esteem. Substance use and also eating disorders help make those uncomfortable feelings diminish or even vanish for a period of time. This makes substance use a desirable option over facing one’s own internal demons.
In our Premiere Recovery Center treatment facility, we see a lot of co-occurring mental health challenges along with substance addictions. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is pervasive, and most of our patients are walking around with unresolved PTSD. This is not a surprise given that trauma is a standard element of life that everyone experiences at some point and that trauma does not heal on its own as the body does.
Instead, it continues to wreak havoc on all facets of the individual’s life until it is intentionally healed. It is not uncommon that unresolved latent childhood PTSD manifests as adult substance abuse.
We also see a lot of attention deficit and hyperactive disorder (ADHD), eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Other psychoses and personality disorders are also not uncommon among our patients.
Welcome to Premiere Recovery Center.
Standard elements of our effective treatment sessions and programs include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) (adjusting thinking patterns to result in different behaviors), group therapy, family therapy, individual therapy, individual counseling, individual psychotherapy, in-person therapy sessions, individualized medical oversight, and meditation - all with compassionate, knowledgeable, and trained professionals.
Our individual treatment strategies focus on any specializations the patient may benefit from. These can include dialectical behavior therapy and medication management as an essential element of ongoing attentive medical oversight. The frequency and duration of individual therapy sessions and other treatment options also vary according to patient needs.
Another area that varies widely by individual is medication management. Many, but not all, of our patients, are given light doses of anti-depressants as one of the coping strategies to help them through the initial withdrawal and early sobriety periods. Depending on the substance the individual is withdrawing from, heavier medications, even as heavy as occasional ketamine doses, may be called for. Naturally, everyone’s medication needs and mental health treatment plans are different.
Medication management is an essential element of any individual therapy program. As such, our trained professionals ensure that every patient receives effective treatment options that will guide them toward wellness and recovery.
Personal therapy treatment plans do not all include the same elements. Specializations in treatment based on the individual’s distinct needs are essential considerations in individual therapy treatment plans.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a psychotherapy modality that involves a type of talking therapy. Similar to cognitive-behavioral therapy, it is specially adapted for individuals who feel emotions intensely and is an option for inclusion in individual therapy treatment plans.
“Dialectical” means to accept a tension between two things that seem opposite but are both true. For example, as human beings, we all want to be with others, and we also want to be alone; we want to share our secrets but not share them too widely. We live with these dialectical tensions every day.
In terms of DBT, the internal tension lies between one’s self as an experiencer of intense emotions and one having to deal with those intense emotions. The goal of DBT is acceptance of both one’s self and the intense emotions one feels. It is not to try to change the individual or reduce emotional intensity but to help with self-acceptance and emotional management. Dialectical behavioral therapy aims to help the individual understand and accept difficult emotions, learn skills to manage these emotions, and become capable of making positive changes in life because these intense emotions no longer obstruct progress.
Not all individuals need or would benefit from DBT treatment. For those whom it would help, DBT becomes an important element of an individual therapy program.
