Holistic Therapies and Treatment Services at Embers Recovery

Pursue Radiant Recovery With Transformative Care

Evidence-Based Therapy for Addiction and Mental Health

We’re in the business of rebuilding the life you or your loved one had before recovery. We’re helping you wipe the slate clean and cultivate the best version of yourself that has yet to exist. One that is stronger, better equipped, healthy, and resilient.

Therapy helps facilitate this transformation. It is in this framework that we address trauma, build new coping skills, and learn to manage emotions in order to improve everyday life. In therapy, recovery takes place. We take a holistic approach to treatment at Embers Recovery and incorporate a wide range of evidence-based interventions. Browse the offered modalities below.

Life Skills Development

Building a new life requires new skills that may be foreign to those new to recovery. In these sessions, we will focus on cultivating social skills, communication skills, financial skills, interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills, professional and academic skills, and more.

Medication Management

Some addiction and mental health disorders benefit from prescription intervention. If medication is part of your treatment plan, you will work with a case manager to monitor withdrawal symptoms, check on your progress, and ensure prescription interventions remain effective.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one therapy sessions offer a private and secure space to uncover trauma, work through underlying concerns and triggers, and establish a new healthy baseline for addressing harmful patterns. The number of sessions per week will depend on the level of care needed and the individualized treatment plan.

Group Therapy

Finding support and community in recovery is a vital lifeline to success. Group therapy sessions and group accountability offer an opportunity to connect with others on the same journey, practice coping skills, and learn from their experiences.

Yoga Therapy

Mindfulness and physical movement go hand-in-hand with recovery. Yoga therapy is an evidence-based approach to recovery that has shown documented improvements in areas of anxiety, pain, and substance use when part of a greater treatment program.[1]

Art Therapy

Art is a medium for many things, including creative expression, mindfulness, trauma processing, and more. Guided art therapy sessions offer a channel to get out of your own head and gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your experiences, and the future you want for yourself.

Experiential Therapy

This intervention blends hands-on life activities with therapy and mindfulness to process trauma, uncover repressed emotions, and cope with substance use disorders. Some examples of experiential therapy include outdoor activities, music, art, psychodrama, and more.

Family Therapy

Recovery cannot be successful in a silo. You need the support, empowerment, and accountability of your close family (whether blood or chosen) to effectively navigate treatment and healing. Family therapy incorporates family members and your trusted circle into the treatment process for the benefit of all.

Mindfulness Coaching

In these sessions, you will develop strategic mindfulness skills that will provide practical strategies for addressing challenges and helping to improve daily life. You will learn how to identify thoughts, emotions, and actions that may have contributed to harmful patterns, like substance use.

Trauma-Informed Care

Underlying trauma is often linked to many mental health and substance use disorders. Traumatic experiences can influence harmful patterns and exacerbate other disorders. Addressing underlying trauma makes other treatment modalities more effective and advances holistic healing.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

CBT identifies the harmful thought patterns that influence substance use and behavioral health patterns. You will learn how to cultivate new thought patterns that promote healthy, positive patterns in life, recovery, and healing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

A beneficial spin on CBT, DBT teaches you how to manage emotions and better cope with stressful circumstances outside your control. You will learn to balance acceptance with effectiveness, increase distress tolerance, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Not an Ideal place to get help. Wouldn’t recommend to a close friend or family member.

Caydence

I’ve struggled as an IV drug user on and off through my whole adult life. After getting sober at 26, I went to school and became licensed to help others. But once again I found myself back in the depths of hell. I have seen a lot of treatment centers, both as a patient and therapist. This program here was one of the best experiences of my life. The owner of the establishment spent over 4 hours on the phone with me as I hesitated to give treatment another chance. That is something I have never seen before. All the rest of the staff were very amicable and encouraging. Clinical staff were very adept and experienced in their various therapeutic niches and rendered me a space to process the underlying traumas that kept me in the same cycle for years. At almost 90 days sober, I have my wife and two children in my life again. I have purpose when I wake up and I’m not controlled by unconscious patterns anymore. If you want a program that will give you an opportunity to address the REAL reasons for your drug and alcohol use and that cares about the individual and their lives as a whole, this program is one that will give you the opportunity to get your life back.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Therapies

How many therapy sessions do patients attend each day?

The number of sessions depends on the prescribed level of care or treatment program. Each program offers a varying degree of treatment and support sessions based on your unique needs. The PHP program is a full-time program with multiple sessions per week, while the Aftercare Program offers therapy sessions as needed.

What therapy is best for addiction treatment?

One of the gold standards of addiction treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This modality addresses the key underlying patterns that happen subconsciously in your mind that contribute to harmful patterns like substance use. By identifying those patterns and redesigning your behavior, you can address and overcome those patterns to create a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. However, patients will find the most success when CBT is incorporated into a greater treatment program that addresses every need on a holistic level.[2]

How is a co-occurring disorder treated with therapy?

A co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis presents as both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. The best way to treat a co-occurring disorder is to address each disorder specifically and how they impact your overall well-being together.
