For those who are struggling with addiction, an individualized, tailored approach is the most effective route to lasting recovery. Individual counseling and other types of therapy for addiction can help you understand the root causes of your substance abuse and how to recognize when you are at risk of relapse. One-on-one sessions with a therapist can help you learn the skills you need to cope with stress and other triggers in a healthy way. Additionally, for those who struggle with co-occurring mental health issues, individual counseling sessions can be an invaluable source of support. At Lakeview Health, we offer an individual counseling program as an integral part of our addiction treatment programs.

Whether you’re struggling with an addiction to opioids, alcohol, benzos, stimulants, or another substance, Lakeview Health offers the support and evidence-based care you need to heal. Through our individual counseling program, medical care, and a full continuum of care, we can help you or your loved one begin the road to recovery with a strong foundation.

The best treatment for addiction uses methods proven to help you overcome the genetic and environmental cues to abuse your substances. Using this modality, you also achieve physical and mental wellness by overcoming the side effects of your addiction.

Individual counseling sessions are part of every level of care, from detox to aftercare. Even after you’ve finished a more intensive level of care, you can participate in ongoing treatment on an outpatient basis. This can help you maintain your sobriety as you return to everyday life.

During individual counseling sessions, you’ll work one-on-one with a therapist in a private setting. Your therapist might ask questions to guide the session, or you may discuss topics that you want to cover. These might include:

Individual counseling sessions are complemented by group therapy. In group therapy sessions, you’ll work with a group of your peers in recovery to cover important topics related to addiction and sobriety. You’ll participate in more group therapy sessions per week than individual sessions, and you might discuss your participation during your one-on-one sessions.

Additionally, your therapist might give you homework to complete between sessions. These assignments might involve journaling, participating in activities, meditating, or talking with loved ones. It’s important to complete these assignments as they will help to reinforce what you’re learning in sessions.

There are several types of therapies that might be used in your addiction treatment program. The therapies that are right for you will depend on a variety of factors, such as your history in treatment and any co-occurring mental health issues.

Evidence-based therapies have been proven by scientific studies to be effective at treating addiction. These include:

Holistic approaches to addiction treatment help the mind, body, and spirit heal. These approaches are paired with evidence-based therapies and other forms of talk therapy. For many individuals, holistic therapies provide outlets for stress. Many patients report that they feel more in touch with their emotions when they participate in these activities.

Some of the holistic therapies we offer at Lakeview Health include:

Addiction can damage close relationships. Your loved ones might have felt the effects of your substance abuse. To rebuild trust and work through conflict, you can work with a therapist in family therapy sessions. During these sessions, you’ll learn effective communication skills, discover how to navigate challenges in the future, and build strong family ties. Your loved ones will also learn more about the disease of addiction. They’ll discuss with your therapist how to provide support without enabling destructive behaviors. In all, family therapy can be crucial as you work towards sustainable recovery.

Many of those who struggle with addiction also face co-occurring mental health issues. These can exacerbate substance use issues and make lasting recovery more challenging. That’s why we offer dual diagnosis treatment in our Jacksonville recovery center.

In your dual diagnosis rehab treatment, you receive treatment for your mental health problems at the same time as for your addiction. Mental health conditions addressed in dual diagnosis treatment with an individual therapy program include:
