We believe 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. Individual 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.
At Woodland Recovery Center, we offer several addiction therapy services so that individuals can find the best fit for their unique needs and recovery goals. Call us today at 662.222.2989 to learn more about how an individual therapy program 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 slots. These individual 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 substance use counseling sessions help patients explore their condition as well as learn to live without drugs or alcohol. 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 drug rehab 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 Individual Therapy 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 that is responsive to each patient’s unique challenges and experiences.
Some general goals of addiction counseling include:
- Helping participants understand the root causes of their addiction
- Identifying and addressing mental health conditions
- Improving mental and emotional health
- Identifying harmful thoughts, feelings, and emotions, as well as teaching participants how to replace them with more positive ones
- Repairing relationships that were broken or damaged by addiction
- Identifying and removing negative relationships
- Identifying and removing triggers
- Teaching dynamic sober living skills that are adapted to the patient’s life
- Teaching participants important habits of self-care
Along with individual counseling services, 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 today to learn more about our different programming and how we may be able to help you or a loved one.
The Impact of Individual Therapy Programs on Addiction Recovery
Individual therapy programs play a crucial role in the journey to recovery from addiction. By providing personalized attention and a safe environment to address deeply rooted issues, these sessions help individuals identify and overcome the underlying causes of their substance use.
