There are many different types of viable addiction treatment strategies. Some of these strategies may be more traditional than other strategies you may have heard before. They could include individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. While these terms may sound familiar, you may not know exactly what these different types of therapy entail. The first and perhaps most familiar form is individual therapy. During an individual therapy session, you’ll meet with your substance abuse therapist one-on-one in a private setting. This is ideal to help you better understand the nature of your addiction. Better understanding the underlying causes that may have contributed to your addiction, you will stand in a better position to overcome your addiction. In these individual therapy sessions, you can be assured of your privacy, and that the therapist will always maintain your confidentiality. Group sessions often prove to be effective despite initial apprehension regarding the process. The concept of sharing your past experiences with others who are in the same position as you can seem daunting. The key here is to recognize that by sharing your experience, you can help those who are going through similar experiences, and help yourself. In many cases, the groups hosted in a substance abuse treatment program can provide the foundation for a sober support network will follow you long after you complete your treatment.
Family therapy ensures that the rest of the family and loved ones receives the information and resource they need to begin working toward helping you sustain your recovery. Substance abuse is an especially life altering disease, because it not only affects the person who struggles with it, it also affects their loved ones as well. By providing family therapy, it will help everyone heal.
