At Principles Recovery Center, we offer several levels of outpatient programming for addiction, all of which make use of a variety of therapies and holistic treatments depending on an individual’s needs. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use disorder, we can help. Our team of compassionate and credentialed therapists will provide the tools and resources you need to discover the roots of your addiction and begin the healing journey.
WHAT IS ADDICTION THERAPY?
Addiction therapy is like a compass, directing individuals toward recovery. Therapy is an integral part of addiction treatment programming and utilizes a comprehensive approach focusing on the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of substance use disorders. Therapy encompasses a wide array of treatments, from individual and group therapy to medication-assisted treatments, each tailored to address specific needs and challenges.
Many addiction treatment centers, including Principles Recovery Center, employ holistic therapies alongside traditional treatments to support recovery. Holistic therapy ensures attention to aspects of health such as fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness that traditional therapy may not provide. The end goal of addiction therapy is to encourage a sustainable recovery and provide individuals with the necessary tools for a fulfilling, substance-free life.
ADDICTION THERAPY & DUAL DIAGNOSIS
Addiction is much more than simply misusing alcohol or drugs. It is often a complex interplay of biological, emotional, and sociological elements that can lead to a substance use disorder. Many people who suffer from addiction also have a mental health diagnosis, or dual diagnosis.
Mental health disorders and substance addiction set up a vicious cycle, with each feeding into the other, making the fight against addiction even more challenging. In such cases, addiction therapy requires dual diagnosis treatment, a comprehensive approach that addresses both disorders concurrently.
Addiction therapy for dual diagnosis helps individuals integrate treatment into their everyday lives. At Principles Recovery Center, we offer dual diagnosis treatment at each level of care, from our intensive outpatient programs to traditional outpatient care. Our programs are designed to help clients address the root causes of dependence and foster strategies for long-term sobriety.
TYPES OF ADDICTION
THERAPY AT PRINCIPLES
At Principles Recovery Center, we offer many forms of therapy to address our clients’ specific needs. Each form of therapy is integrated into each level of programming: partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or outpatient treatment. Each of the therapies we use offers a different lens through which to view and address addiction, and each has a crucial role in the recovery process. These therapies include:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Contingency management
- Motivational interviewing
- Dialectical behavioral therapy
- Relapse prevention planning
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, the focus is on you. It’s a one-on-one session with a licensed therapist, where the spotlight is on your specific needs and challenges. This private setting enables a detailed exploration of the underlying causes of addiction, setting the stage for a customized recovery plan.
Embracing a range of techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, individual therapy equips individuals with coping mechanisms to manage triggers and stressors. It’s a journey of self-discovery that not only addresses the symptoms of addiction but also seeks to heal the underlying wounds fueling it.
Group Therapy
Group therapy leverages the power of shared experiences in addiction treatment. It provides a supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences and learn from others facing similar struggles. This collective approach plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of mutual support and motivation.
From sharing successes and failures to learning coping strategies from peers, group therapy offers a platform for growth and self-discovery. It not only enhances interpersonal skills and communication but also fosters a greater sense of community. This makes recovery a shared journey rather than a solitary struggle.
Family Therapy
Family therapy acknowledges the far-reaching impact of addiction, understanding that its effects extend beyond the individual to the whole family. It addresses the unique circumstances of families affected by substance misuse, focusing on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and supporting the recovery process.
This collaborative approach enhances family dynamics and relationships, ultimately improving the overall well-being of each family member. It fosters a supportive environment for recovery, recognizing that healing is not just about treating the individual, but also about nurturing the family system that surrounds them.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) acts as a guiding light in the field of addiction therapy. It’s a therapeutic approach that assists individuals in recognizing and altering negative thought patterns, cultivating healthier coping mechanisms, and effectively handling cravings and triggers.
CBT focuses on targeting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; challenging unhelpful thinking patterns; and addressing faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking. It’s about reshaping the mind, fostering resilience, and empowering individuals to take control of their lives – a crucial step in the path to recovery.
Contingency Management
Contingency management (CM) introduces a distinctive element to addiction therapy. It’s an approach that incentivizes individuals to reduce drug-related behaviors through positive motivation and rewards. Think of it as a reward system that reinforces positive behavioral changes.
CM is based on the principles of behavioral analysis and operant conditioning. It focuses on specific behaviors, rewarding positive changes and discouraging negative ones. It’s about fostering a sense of accomplishment, making the journey to recovery not just a necessity, but also a rewarding path!
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach aimed at encouraging individuals to contemplate possible changes in their health-related behaviors. It’s about sparking a conversation, igniting self-reflection, and fostering the motivation to change.
MI enhances individuals’ motivation and dedication to a specific goal, elevating the likelihood of attaining better outcomes. It’s a catalyst for change, a tool to propel individuals toward a new life, and a cornerstone of effective addiction therapy.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive approach that provides individuals with skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. It’s about striking a balance, and learning how to find acceptance and prompt change.
DBT is particularly beneficial for those who struggle with managing stress, regulating emotions, or establishing a fulfilling life without relying on substance use. It fosters resilience, empowering individuals to navigate life’s ups and downs without falling back into the trap of substance use disorder.
Relapse Prevention Planning
Relapse prevention planning aims at protecting a person’s progress in abstaining from drugs and alcohol. It’s a tool to identify and mitigate the risks associated with relapse, assisting individuals in maintaining sobriety for an extended period.
Through therapy and skill development, monitoring, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), self-care, mindfulness meditation, and understanding one’s triggers, relapse prevention planning establishes guidelines and strategies to uphold sobriety and mitigate the risk of relapse when faced with urges to use substances.

Medication-Assisted Therapy
Medication-assisted therapy (MAT) combines the use of medications like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone with therapy to treat substance use disorders, sustain recovery, and minimize the risk of overdose.
By combining medications with counseling and behavioral therapies, MAT effectively addresses opioid use disorders and helps individuals maintain recovery. It’s about providing a holistic approach to treatment, one that addresses the physical aspects of addiction alongside the emotional and psychological challenges.
Holistic Addiction Therapy
In addition to traditional therapies, a plethora of holistic and alternative therapies exist. At Principles, we offer several holistic programs to help clients heal mind, body, and spirit:
- Exercise
- Meditation
- Yoga
- Massage
Our program offers a complementary approach to drug and alcohol addiction treatment, promoting overall well-being and recovery.
From the calming practice of yoga to the healing touch of massage, these holistic therapies offer a unique perspective on recovery. They foster a sense of balance and harmony, helping individuals not only to overcome addiction but also to thrive in their journey toward well-being.
How Effective is Addiction Therapy?
Addiction therapy is used by most treatment facilities and programs as a way to help clients cope with and learn to overcome addiction.

- The individual’s motivation and commitment to change
