Evidence-Based Therapies Used in Addiction Treatment
CBT is a widely used therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviors. In addiction treatment, CBT assists clients in understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, enabling them to make healthier choices and develop coping strategies.
Our therapists at Longleaf Recovery and Wellness are trained in CBT techniques and work closely with clients to tailor the approach to their specific needs.
ACT focuses on helping individuals accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them. By promoting mindfulness and behavioral changes, ACT encourages clients to commit to actions that align with their values and long-term goals.
Incorporating ACT into addiction treatment allows clients to develop resilience and maintain progress in their recovery journey.
Many individuals with substance use disorders have experienced trauma, which can contribute to addictive behaviors. Trauma-informed care recognizes the prevalence of trauma and integrates this understanding into treatment.
At Longleaf Recovery and Wellness, we provide trauma-informed care that ensures safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment throughout the recovery process.
