Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one\'s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient\'s own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse. Creative Arts Therapy: Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself. Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Their Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic program designed to treat adolescents and young adults (ages 12-18) who exhibit difficulty regulating their emotions and behavior. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT was originally created to treat adult women who were chronically suicidal, self-injuring, and exhibiting symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It has since been adapted for teens and families. Through a supportive and validating therapeutic environment, behavioral skills are developed to improve impulse control, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, overall functioning and replacing harmful ways of thinking and behaving with healthy ones. Experiential Therapy: Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing. Family Therapy: They provide family therapy to improve parent and guardian effectiveness and the support network of the children they serve. Their systems approach brings together the individuals most involved in a child’s life to improve communication and to build effective problem solving skills. Group Therapy: Their extensive group psychotherapy services helps children with a wide variety of difficulties. Children and adolescents are able to share their experiences and learn that they are not alone in their struggles, anxiety and problems. Their specialized groups include: Social Skills, Anger Management, Depression/Anxiety, Teen Challenges, Separation and Loss, Divorce and Parenting Skill-Building. Individual Therapy: In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. They offer short-term, solution-focused therapy to assist children and adolescents build the skills they need to overcome their problems. Trauma Therapy: They provide evidence-based trauma treatment and services to children, adolescents and their families who experience and/or witness traumatic events. Utilizing interventions developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and the CARES Institute/Rowan University, they work with trauma-impacted families offering brief, focused, short-term psychotherapeutic intervention in individual and group formats to reduce the incidence, severity, and duration of acute stress and PTSD conditions.

Alcoholism: The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings. Mental Health and Substance Abuse: A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track. Opioid Addiction: Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
