    Our Lake Worth Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs

    At Lake Worth, Florida, we provide a variety of holistic drug and alcohol treatment programs, such as:

    Motivational Interviewing (MI)

    Motivational Interviewing is a type of treatment that focuses on what does motivate an individual and hones in on that, applying the motivation to addiction recovery. In order for this therapy to happy, a collaborative effort and communication takes place between the patient and therapist. By defined, the creator of MI, William Miller, the creator of MI, explains the purpose of this approach as “to strengthen the client’s own motivation for and commitment to change in a manner that is consistent with said client’s values”.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a method of helping individuals take a deep look at their thoughts an emotions to recognize patterns that lead to unhealthy behaviors and actions. It is all about recognizing and breaking the cycle of destructive thoughts. An evidence-based therapy, CBT is based on a cognitive model that explains the connection between an individuals perception and reality and how the effect one’s reaction.

    Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    Another type of therapy that brings attention to emotions and how they effect behavior, “DBT is an effective treatment for substance abuse disorders, eating disorders, anger-related issues, self-injury, and personality disorders.” DBT works specifically to regulate emotions and minimize intense feelings that often lead to harmful behaviors, such as drug use.

    Seeking Safety (And Other Trauma Focused Therapies)

    Seeking Safety is a theraphy approach that was developed via Lisa M. Najavits, Ph.D. and a grant she received from the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA). This therpay is present-focused, meaning it “helps clients attain safety from trauma (including PTSD) and substance abuse by emphasizing coping skills, grounding techniques and education”. The Seeking Safety therapy is proven to be effective in many cases. A research-based therapy, this practice uses 3 key principles. The first is helping clients attain safe thought, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Integrating the treatment of their substance use and their past traumas is the 2nd principle. The 3rd and final principle is creating a focus on thoughts that counteract the loss of the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that were felt during both the experiences of trauma and substance use.

    Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)

    Medicated-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a ‘whole-patient’ approach to the treatment of substance abuse disorders. These medications are an adjunct to other treatment approaches such as extended psychological and psychiatric care, counseling based on 12-steps program for addiction recovery, and other therapies.

    In addition to implementing the most up to date Evidence-Based Substance Abuse Therapies, we provide a variety of holistic healing treatments such as:

    • Acupuncture
