Addiction and Recovery Counseling at Dayspring
Substance abuse, a multifaceted issue, necessitates a comprehensive approach. Dayspring counselors, adept at employing evidence-based techniques, assist individuals in regaining control over their lives. These methods have demonstrated efficacy in enhancing recovery outcomes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) stands as a widely recognized and highly effective approach in the realm of substance abuse counseling. Using CBT, your counselor and you work together to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked. Through guided self-reflection, you will learn to spot thinking patterns like catastrophizing or self-blame that might be causing you to use drugs, alcohol, or other addictions. Once you've identified these patterns, the counselor will help you to develop healthier and more positive ways of thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been proven to be a powerful tool in treating substance use disorders. It works by helping you manage your emotions, deal with tough times, and stay grounded in the present moment through mindfulness practices.
One of the main things DBT teaches is how you can handle intense emotions better. This is especially helpful for people who turn to substances to deal with overwhelming feelings. By learning to control your emotions, you can recognize when you’re getting too emotional, challenge negative thoughts, and respond to situations in a healthier way. This helps reduce the impulsivity that often leads to substance abuse.
At Dayspring we focus on the family. You can expect that your family will be part of your treatment. Family therapy is like a superpower that helps families understand addiction as a medical condition. It teaches them about the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of substance use disorders. This knowledge makes them more empathetic, which is super important for helping someone recover. Family members learn how to set boundaries, deal with conflicts, and support their loved one without hurting themselves. The goal of family therapy is to heal the whole family, creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can recover.
These are just a few of the therapies and techniques that are used at Dayspring. Your actual treatment is designed around you and your needs.
