Types of Addiction Therapy We Use
Addiction therapy is one of the most effective methods used to treat substance abuse. The methods employed in therapy address addictions and co-occurring issues, supporting the complete wellbeing of people who are going through treatment and are in recovery.
At North Georgia Recovery Center, we offer multiple forms of addiction therapy that can be tailored to the needs of each person receiving care.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is recommended for most people in addiction treatment, and it’s often incorporated as a core part of your rehabilitation and after care plan. This form of therapy gives you a chance to work one-on-one with a licensed therapist and discuss your struggles in a private and confidential setting.
In individual therapy, you’ll receive in-depth analysis and specialized feedback. Because this session is completely tailored to you, individual therapy is also more flexible to change and adapt as you progress.
Family Therapy
At North Georgia Recovery Center, we know that your loved ones are your biggest motivators. However, addiction and co-occurring concerns can place unexpected strain on those relationships, and sometimes, professional guidance can help families learn how to be a stronger support system in addiction recovery.
Family therapy allows you to work through recovery with your family, helping you strengthen communication and relationship-building skills with those closest to you. The lessons you learn during family therapy can be utilized well after you complete treatment and can strengthen those relationships for the rest of your life.
Group Therapy
Group therapy is a way to connect with other people in recovery. In group therapy sessions, you can discuss your struggles and accomplishments with other people who are also working through rehabilitation.
We offer group therapy as part of all our programs, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and even our aftercare programs. Depending on the stage of recovery you’re in, you’ll work with other people who are in the same program as you.
Our aftercare group therapy sessions occur twice a week, helping people who have completed their treatment continue their recovery with a strong support network. Group therapy after treatment can provide essential community during one of the most difficult parts of rehabilitation.
Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback is a type of brain training that teaches your brain to regulate itself in exchange for a reward. It starts with a process called brain mapping, which is an assessment that measures your brain’s electrical activity. This process is painless and non-invasive, and simply gives our clinical team better insight into the way your brain functions.
After analyzing your brain map, our specialized software gives your brain real-time feedback while you focus on another activity, such as watching a movie. Over time, your brain learns to adjust its activities to maintain healthy patterns in real-life situations.
