Woodland Recovery Center believes in treating the whole patient to help them heal in mind, body, and spirit. An important part of this treatment approach includes individual therapy sessions. One-on-one therapy sessions promote self-discovery and facilitate healing, and when used as part of a comprehensive addiction therapy plan, they can be a hugely beneficial tool.
We offer several therapy services so that people can find the best fit for their unique needs and recovery goals. Call us today at 662.222.2989 to learn more about how individual therapy can offer the support you or a loved one needs to overcome addiction.
What Is Individual Therapy for Addiction Treatment?
Patients regularly work with our mental health and substance use counselors or therapists in one-hour sessions. These counseling sessions give patients the opportunity to explore their conditions, identify problematic thoughts or behaviors, and learn how to heal and grow.
Our counseling centers use a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities to aid the patient in this healing process. Because some techniques may be more effective than others depending on the patient and their progress, our counselors will alter treatment as needed and use additional programming when necessary.
Individual therapy sessions help patients explore their condition as well as learn to live without substance use. Patients will work with a substance use counselor or licensed therapist in sessions that generally last about an hour. These sessions may occur several times weekly, depending on how often the therapist and patient agree to meet. Typically, patients will work with the same counselor or therapist throughout their program to build trust and rapport.
Working with the patient’s care team, our experienced addiction counselors will help determine the most effective counseling methods for their patients and focus on specific issues in treatment that need to be addressed so the patient can achieve lasting recovery. Through a collaborative partnership, the recovery counselor and patient can discover and nurture ways to build a drug-free life.
What to Expect from Your Counseling Sessions
Individual therapy sessions provide a safe and confidential space for patients to work through their struggles, fears, and emotions related to addiction. Our counselors use a person-centered approach, meaning they tailor each session to the specific needs and goals of the patient. This allows for individualized care responsive to each patient’s unique challenges and experiences.
Some general goals of addiction counseling include:
- Helping participants uncover the underlying causes of their addiction
- Diagnosing and addressing co-occurring mental health conditions
- Enhancing emotional and mental well-being
- Recognizing harmful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and replacing them with healthier, more positive alternatives
- Rebuilding relationships damaged by addiction
- Identifying and removing toxic or negative relationships
- Pinpointing and eliminating triggers that fuel addictive behaviors
- Equipping participants with adaptable sober living skills tailored to their unique circumstances
- Instilling essential self-care habits to support long-term recovery
Along with individual psychotherapy sessions, our treatment plans also include group work with other patients with similar struggles so that patients can build their community of support and understand that they are not alone. Couple and family sessions are also available as add-on programming for several treatment plans to help families progress forward and heal together. Because not everyone can come to our treatment center for care, we also offer virtual counseling services and programming for more flexible treatment plans.
Counseling is one of many services we offer to help our patients live their best futures. Contact us at 662.222.2989 today to learn more about our different programming and how we can help you or a loved one.
How Individual Therapy Helps Maintain Recovery Goals
Therapists help patients stay focused and motivated through regular one-on-one sessions as they work through challenges. Below are some important ways therapy helps sustain recovery:
Identifying Triggers and Coping Skills
Therapists assist in uncovering personal triggers that might lead to relapse and teach practical coping strategies to manage stress, cravings, or emotional struggles.
Regular Goal Setting and Progress Tracking
Individual therapy provides a space to set achievable recovery goals and consistently measure progress, helping individuals feel a sense of accomplishment and direction.
Building Resilience and Confidence
Through supportive counseling, therapy strengthens self-esteem and resilience, giving individuals the confidence to handle life’s challenges without returning to substance use.
These tools and strategies help recovery begin and remain consistent over time, offering a clear path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
The Impact of Individual Therapy Sessions on Addiction Recovery
Individual therapy plays a crucial role in the journey to recovery from addiction. By providing personalized attention and a supportive environment to address deeply rooted issues, these sessions help people identify and overcome the underlying causes of their substance use.
