    Levels of Care Offered at First Light Recovery

    This center offers a variety of custom treatment tailored to individual recovery. Currently available are Inpatient, with additional therapies available as listed below.

    Inpatient Treatment Program

    Inpatient treatment is an option that provides addicts with a supportive environment in which they can stop using. This type of intensive care and supervision is appropriate for those who were unable to quit on their own or need more structure than they could get from outpatient treatment, such as the addict most in need of this level of care.

    The goal of inpatient rehab is for the addict to stay focused on sobriety and remain free of mood altering substances. Inpatient treatment programs usually offer the following: detox, therapy groups, one-on-one counseling, medication management and aftercare planning.

    Therapies & Programs

    Individual Therapy

    Individual therapy is a critical component of addiction recovery. It allows the patients to go deep into their core issues and discover how to handle those problems better. Therapy can be conducted in individual sessions as well as group settings. In individual therapy for addiction, the patient meets with their therapist one-on-one to focus on the underlying issues. This allows patients to open up and discuss personal topics they may not feel comfortable discussing in a group setting. This type of therapy can help develop solutions specific to each patient, which helps speed up the recovery process.

    Family Counseling + Therapy

    Family therapy is a crucial part of drug treatment and getting sober. It is one of the most effective ways to help addicts stay on the path to long-term sobriety. When a drug addict decides that they want to try and get sober, it takes the support of every person they love to succeed. It can be incredibly difficult for loved ones to watch an addict go through the pain and suffering of withdrawal, but by being there with them and supporting them, they can help to make sure that the addiction never returns.

    One of the most important parts of family therapy is the relapse prevention plan. During treatment, therapists and doctors will often sit down with the addict and their family to develop a plan in case the addict ever feels like they want to use again. This plan should involve steps the addict and family can take together to prevent them from relapsing in the future. An addict’s family can play a vital part in helping them to avoid relapse because they can spot the warning signs and help them get back on track before it becomes too much of a problem.

    Group Therapy

    Group therapy helps prevent addicts from feeling isolated or unique in their situation by offering a sense of comfort and fellowship. It also creates a forum for addicts to build their support systems and learn from each other. The group therapy sessions at First Light Recovery occur in a group setting rather than one-on-one to create a safer, controlled environment where addicts feel comfortable.

    Trauma Therapy

    Trauma therapy helps people dealing with addiction by allowing them to confront the traumas of their past and move past them. It is important to note that trauma therapy should not be confused with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Rather, it is used to treat the effects of trauma, which are often at the root of addiction.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy was developed in the 1980s to treat chronically suicidal individuals. It is a cognitive-behavioral therapy that combines strategies derived from Zen Buddhism, such as mindfulness training. DBT has been adapted for use with other types of psychiatric problems, including substance abuse and personality disorders. DBT aims to help patients change their thinking and behavior, instead of relying on medication.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common therapeutic approach to help drug addicts. It teaches addicts new ways of thinking and behaving so that they can avoid relapse. There are several forms of CBT used in drug rehabilitation centers.

    Cognitive Restructuring helps addicts identify faulty, negative thinking so that they can work together with the therapist to find healthier ways of thinking, resulting in better decision-making.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Addiction uses the principles of CBT to help treat addiction. It focuses on specific aspects of each person’s thinking, feeling, physiology, and behavior. It aims to identify specific problems in these areas and create a personalized treatment strategy.

    Life Skills

    The best drug treatment centers offer various services to help addicts learn how to live without drugs. Since addiction is a chronic physical and mental illness, addicts need to learn as many life skills as possible to help them stay clean and sober.

    Many drug treatment centers like First Light Recovery offer life skills activities as part of their addiction recovery programs. Examples include cooking classes, employment training, resume writing seminars, parenting classes, and computer training. When addicts have various life skills to lean on, they’re better equipped to put their addiction behind them for good.

    The primary goal of life skills activities at drug treatment centers like First Light Recovery is to help addicts recover from addiction and learn how to live a useful, productive life. Life skills activities help addicts find employment, take care of their families, and give back to the community. After learning about these various life skills, addicts are better prepared to return to society and lead happy healthy lives.
