Therapy Sessions Offered

Individual Therapy

The individual therapy programs at Trinity River Recovery are essential in the journey to recovery. These programs offer clients the opportunity to delve into their conditions, recognize unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, and acquire the tools needed to heal and move forward.

Trinity River Recovery employs a range of evidence-based treatment methods customized to each client’s unique needs. Our counselors adjust the treatment a as necessary and introduce additional programming when required, ensuring the most effective strategies are used for each person’s progress.

These personalized therapy sessions create a safe space for individuals to address deeply rooted issues, allowing them to confront and surmount the root causes of their substance use.

Family Therapy

Having a solid support network increases the chances of long-term recovery, so we invite loved ones to participate—always with your permission—in family education and counseling programs.

If you or your loved one is struggling with addiction, you likely understand the profound emotional impact and the ways these disorders affects the entire family. It doesn’t just affect the person using drugs or alcohol; it alters family dynamics, creating a need for support and attention for all involved.

You can meet with your loved one in a safe, supportive environment, whether it’s a child, parent, sibling, spouse, or another family member. Our staff has taken great care in developing this space to help you bridge any gaps that may have arisen between you.

Group Therapy

Participating in group therapy gives clients a better chance at long-term sobriety. Recovery is easier when you can talk to peers about your shared struggles.

If a patient feels isolated in their recovery efforts, wants to understand their addiction and its underlying causes better, needs strategies to manage cravings and avoid relapse, seeks to build a support network, or wishes to enhance their communication and interpersonal skills, joining a group therapy program might be beneficial for you 

Witnessing others’ successes in recovery can motivate individuals to continue their efforts to stay on a healthy path and challenge triggers. Group therapy has the potential to foster profound personal growth and lasting change.

Gaining Multiple Perspectives: Group settings offer diverse insights from others, broaden understanding, and provide various solutions to struggles.

Receiving Positive Feedback: : Group therapy provides a space to discuss difficult experiences, receive constructive feedback, challenge irrational beliefs, gain validation, improve problem-solving skills, and offer encouragement and support to others.

 Maintaining Accountability: Attending support groups helps individuals stay accountable for their sobriety and provides structure and support in daily life to prevent relapse.

Talk Therapy Modalities

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Assists those in recovery by recognizing and altering harmful thought patterns and actions that contribute to addiction. CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills. By recognizing substance abuse triggers and challenging irrational beliefs, people can implement relapse prevention strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change. Effective for individuals in recovery, it teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, aiding in managing intense emotions and reducing self-destructive behaviors.

Psychodynamic Therapy

This approach focuses on understanding unconscious motivations and past experiences that impact behavior. In the context of recovery, this therapy helps individuals explore and resolve underlying emotional conflicts and traumas, contributing to more sustainable recovery and personal growth.

Traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly structured and often includes homework between sessions. Whereas, psychodynamic therapy is more open-ended and does not involve worksheets or assignments.

Holistic Therapy

A holistic approach uses a variety of alternative and complementary therapies that address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. For individuals in recovery, holistic approaches centered on mindfulness and creativity provide additional support alongside traditional treatments, promoting well-being and aiding in developing a healthier lifestyle.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is a client-centered therapeutic approach that enhances motivation and commitment to change by helping individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about recovery. Particularly effective in addiction treatment, MI empowers individuals to take ownership of their recovery journey, leading them to develop a personalized plan for achieving their recovery goals.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

This therapy recognizes the pervasive impact of trauma on an individual’s life and its potential role in substance use disorders. This approach focuses on creating a safe and empowering environment, helping individuals process traumatic experiences, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild a sense of control and stability.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT focuses on accepting thoughts and feelings, committing to actions that align with one’s values, and living in the present moment. Through mindfulness and behavioral change strategies, ACT helps individuals develop psychological flexibility, manage cravings, and promote long-term sobriety and mental health.

Nutritional Counseling

Understanding our relationship with food is an essential component of recovery that addresses the physical aspect of healing. It helps individuals develop balanced eating plans that restore physical health, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being. Proper nutrition supports the body’s detoxification process, boosts energy levels, and strengthens the immune system, contributing to a more comprehensive and sustainable recovery.

Experiential Therapy

These experiential therapies can play a valuable role in supporting emotional healing, reducing the likelihood of relapse, and promoting long-term recovery from addiction.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR):

EMDR manages and processes traumatic memories and distressing life experiences contributing to addiction. It involves focusing on traumatic memories through guided eye movements or bilateral stimulation. This process helps rewire the brain, reducing the emotional intensity of memories and facilitating healthier coping mechanisms.

Yoga

Yoga integrates physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, which are common triggers for substance use. Through mindfulness and body awareness, yoga promotes inner peace and emotional stability, contributing to a holistic approach to recovery.

Music Therapy

By using the power of music, you can evoke emotional responses, facilitate self-expression, and improve mood.

Music helps individuals process their feelings, reduce stress, develop positive coping strategies, and enhance emotional well-being.

It also encourages social interaction and connection with others in recovery.

Art Therapy

Art therapy utilizes creative expression, such as drawing, painting, and sculpting, to help individuals explore their emotions, process traumatic experiences, and express themselves nonverbally and symbolically.

This approach provides a safe space for self-discovery, emotional release, and personal growth.
