    Conditions and Issues Treated

    When addiction and psychiatric issues co-occur, the addict’s recovery is more successful when both conditions are treated. A dual diagnosis refers to a condition in which the patient is diagnosed with two health issues: addiction and bipolar disorder. The most common therapies are psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, spiritual counseling, 12-step programs, and medication management.

    The frequency of mandatory attendance decreases after much of Southwestern Mental Health Center Avera - Worthington‘s program is complete.
    Outpatient treatment is a recovery approach that allows recovering addicts to live at home while getting rehab for addiction

    An outpatient can include day treatments which include attending group sessions one hour per week. A person living in an outpatient environment may be allowed the opportunity to work full time if they choose to and continue studies without interruption from drugs/alcohol.

    Outpatient treatment is an option for people who want to maintain their careers and families. Outpatients live at home but attend treatment such as individual counseling, group counseling, or twelve-step meetings during the day.

    Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient’s individual requirements.

    Aftercare support is vital to the success of someone in drug or alcohol treatment. It involves assisting with entering a sober living home, getting career counseling or educational assistance and even getting the individual lined up with programs like AA and NA. This support helps recovering addicts readjust to normal day-to-day activities and maintain sobriety.

    When a person is in drug or alcohol treatment, they have to increase their focus on themselves. They need to learn how to recognize the triggers that cause them to relapse and learn the habits that would benefit them if they were to be sober. This is all part of the growth in recovery, and aftercare is essential to that process.

    Therapies & Programs

    At Southwestern Mental Health Center Avera - Worthington , to learn from past mistakes and improve one’s situation, the recovering person meets individually with a therapist. The counselor or therapist will address addiction causes, triggers, mental issues, dual diagnosis, and aftercare plans during this time. This is a very intense and challenging process. Some clients find it easier to open up to someone other than family or friends who understand their struggles with addiction.

    Couples therapy sessions are typically used to help couples in recovery from drug addiction work through their issues. These types of sessions can be beneficial for many reasons, including the fact that they add a layer of accountability when both partners in a couple are recovering from addiction.

    Therapy can also provide addicts with another effective way to cope with stress and avoid relapse during difficult situations. This type of therapy can help improve communication with their partners, which can strengthen the relationship and prevent future problems that might lead to relapse.

    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. An addict’s family can play a vital part in helping them to avoid relapse. They can spot the warning signs and help them get back on track.

    In group therapy, recovering addicts meet with a therapist and other people in recovery. Some groups are closed, meaning only people who share the same addiction or problem can attend. Others are open to anyone who wants to stop using drugs or drinking alcohol. Group therapy sessions typically focus on one topic each week or month so that recovering addicts can discuss issues they face daily.

    Trauma therapy allows people to face and learn from past traumas.

    Many people suffer childhood traumas that lead to adult addiction. During treatment at Southwestern Mental Health Center Avera - Worthington [/type], you can move forward in your recovery and reclaim your sober future! Trauma is a common cause of psychological disorders like Addiction Disorder. It’s common in Addictive Disorders patients because traumatized people have strong emotions or thoughts that lead to addictive behaviors.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy created in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was designed to help people with high rates of suicidal behavior.

    The goal of DBT is to teach mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people learn how to live a life that is no longer controlled by overwhelming emotions and urges.

    DBT is beneficial in treating drug addiction because it helps patients understand and cope with their cravings for drugs or alcohol rather than turning to those substances as a way of coping.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that how we feel, think and act all interact together. It helps people explore their thoughts for problems (or false beliefs) that influence their mood and actions. CBT is very goal-oriented, which means that the therapist and patient work together on a specific problem. In addition to helping a client focus on thoughts that can be changed, CBT also allows them to take an active role in their treatment. Our thoughts determine our feelings and behaviors; our feelings affect our thoughts, and our behaviors change our thoughts and feelings.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people get sober by changing how they experience emotions. During the treatment, the patient is asked to recall specific memories that relate to their addictions; they do this while following a moving object with their eyes or tapping their hands or feet. This process helps the patient work through their emotions by separating the memory from the distress they feel about it.

    Patient Experience

    Experiential Therapy at Southwestern Mental Health Center Avera - Worthington

    Experiential Therapy is a different way of thinking about addiction treatment. It uses physical activities to help work through troubling emotions, memories, and trauma that are sources of psychological issues like addiction.

    Experiential Therapy can be an effective option for those who have struggled with past traumas or challenges associated with life decisions such as drug use. The non-traditional approach helps people deal more effectively with these struggles. It also allows them to gain new perspectives on their behavior patterns by recreating experiences in healthy ways rather than continuing old habits that may no longer serve them.
