CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing
Treatment begins with an assessment to determine the appropriate level of care, whether outpatient counseling or a more structured intensive outpatient program.
Both tracks address cooccurring mental health disorders alongside substance use, ensuring clients receive comprehensive dual diagnosis support.
Clients engage in individual and group therapy using approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, the Matrix Model, and trauma-informed counseling. Programs also incorporate relapse prevention, life skills training, family programming, and aftercare planning to support long-term recovery and community reintegration.
