Addiction Treatment Counseling in Florida

ADDICTION TREATMENT THERAPIES IN FLORIDA

Florida Center for Recovery (FCR) offers evidence based traditional therapies, recovery educational lectures, and alternative holistic therapies. Therapeutic services listed below are part of our all-inclusive inpatient addiction treatment program.

TRADITIONAL AND SPECIALTY THERAPIES:

Medical Detox

Medical detox is a process in which a medical team of physicians and nurses help a patient manage the physical discomfort of withdrawal from drugs and/or alcohol cravings. Medical detox generally lasts 5 to 7 days, and is often the first step in the addiction treatment process followed by treatment with a behavioral-based therapy and/or a medication, if available. Detox alone with no follow-up is not treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy commonly used in modern addiction and mental health treatment. The effective therapy aims to identify and end unhealthy patterns of though(often stemming from anxiety, anger, guilt, shame, fear, etc.) that interfere with the patient's daily life, and as a result, helping the individual develop their own constructive way of thinking that result in healthier behavioral patterns.

Individual Psychotherapy

Individual Therapy is a highly effective treatment approach in the drug and alcohol rehabilitation process. During this therapeutic treatment client works closely with a licensed therapist on a one-on-one basis, exploring the individual's beliefs, feelings, and reasons for acting on unhealthy behaviors. In addressing these deep-rooted personal aspects of the individual, the therapist's aim is to identify the changes the client wants to make in life, help them understand how to achieve those changes/goals, and work toward that desired change.

Group Psychotherapy

Group Psychotherapy is a form of therapeutic treatment where a therapist treats a small group of clients in an interactive support group. During these sessions clients share their experiences helping one another cope with their particular situations while receiving the guidance of a professional addiction treatment professional. This therapeutic treatment helps boost clients' confidence and self-esteem at the same time that it aids in reducing the stress and pain felt among the group.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that helps clients find the motivation to make positive decisions, thus, realizing personal goals and exercising free choice through the process of self-actualization.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse Prevention Therapy (RPT) is a therapeutic treatment that utilizes cognitive behavioral principles to exclusively address the problem of relapse. The goal of RPT is to help clients develop their own relapse-prevention techniques through the identification of high risk situations providing them with the required coping skills necessary to suppress urges and cravings.

Family Therapy

Family Therapy is a common form of psychotherapy that aims to re-build the family structure that has been damaged by substance abuse and addiction; it does so by improving communication skills, repairing family connection, and utilizes techniques to resolve family conflict in healthy ways.

Grief / Loss Therapy

Grief Counseling is a form of psychotherapy that aims to help individuals cope with grief and morning by facilitating the process of resolution in the natural reactions to loss. If a client's addiction recovery is compounded by grief/loss, our clinical team will develop an appropriate treatment protocol to include specialized therapeutic counseling based on the individual's circumstances, as unresolved grief can compromise the recovery process.

Rapid Resolution Therapy^®

Rapid Resolution Therapy^® RRT is a revolutionary therapeutic approach to the treatment of emotional & behavioral difficulties and is used to treat PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Developed by Dr. Jon Connelly, RRT is designed to help individuals permanently overcome the negative effects of trauma often in as few as 1 to 3 treatment sessions. Treatment is painless and does not involve the re-experiencing of the traumatizing event(s).

12-Steps

A 12-step program is a fellowship of people helping other people with an addiction or a compulsive behavior to obtain abstinence. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) was the first 12-step program established and many other support groups have branched off from AA using the model.

Smart Recovery^®

SMART Recovery^® (Self Management And Recovery Training) is a "self-empowering" addiction recovery support group where participants learn tools for recovery that are based on scientific research and interact in free mutual self-help groups. SMART Recovery^® utilizes a four-point program, with tools for each of the four points: building and maintaining motivation; coping with urges; managing thoughts, feelings and behaviors; and living a balanced life.

Biofeedback Therapy

As part of Florida Center for Recovery’s innovative approach in the treatment of addiction, we offer biofeedback sessions through Biosound^® Therapy. The purpose of providing this healing therapy within our addiction treatment program is to enable recovering individuals to recognize and control negative emotions and reactions before they leave treatment. This powerful treatment approach is delivered at our Serenity Lounge, where a combination of music, choreographed imagery, vibrations and bi-neural beats are utilized to help recovering clients achieve a natural meditative state. During this Biosound^® Therapy, the guided imagery selections provided are designed to take the individual deeper into a subconscious theta brainwave state where positive messages can be delivered successfully.

RECOVERY EDUCATIONAL LECTURES:

Communication and Relationship Skills

Communication and relationships can break down when individuals are under the influence of drugs or alcohol as they are less able to send and receive messages clearly. Communication and Relationship lectures focus on discussing factors that contribute to communication problems providing guidance and exploring different ways to overcome those difficulties.

Life Skills

Life Skills Educational Sessions are designed to help client's develop basic skills such as preparing daily schedules and routines. It includes guidelines to a healthy diet, hygiene, management of personal finances, such as balancing a checkbook, and how to prepare for a job interview. Independence is an essential goal we work with our clients to achieve so that they can eventually enjoy successfully living on their own.

Psychoeducation

Psychoeducation Sessions at Florida Center for Recovery are designed to educate clients and families about the disease of addiction as well as any other co-occurring mental health condition, so that with this information they are empowered to make the necessary life adjustments. The goal of our Psychoeducation Sessions is to help both clients and families deal with their condition in an optimal way providing them with practical and positive emotional and behavioral skills to start the recovery process.

Motivational Lectures

As the title suggests motivational lectures are utilized to motivate and inspire our recovering clients to make a change. These lectures are often given by individuals who have successfully overcome addiction and understand the recovering individual's struggles.

Nutrition Education

Nutrition Education is provided during addiction treatment at Florida Center for Recovery to help clients understand the role of nutrition in the recovery process. Clients learn how substance abuse and addiction often depletes the body of essential vitamins and minerals and the importance to address any nutritional deficiency to maintain sobriety. Also they learn how a healthy diet can contribute in stabilizing mood, reducing cravings and stress.

Stress Management

Stress Management Education is provided during addiction treatment at Florida Center for Recovery to help clients develop skills needed to cope with stress in everyday situations. During Stress Management Education clients receive a reinforcement of all stress management techniques that are taught on our program, such as: journaling, exercise, breathing exercise, mindful meditation and yoga.

ALTERNATIVE AND HOLISTIC THERAPIES:

Art Therapy

Art Therapy Sessions are designed to help clients get in touch with their feelings by using their creative expression as an outlet. At Florida Center for Recovery, Art Therapy is used to identify and overcome the negative thoughts and emotions associated with addiction and other mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Research shows that art therapy can improve one's sense of well-being by reducing depression and anxiety.

Mindfulness Meditation

Meditation is a mind and body practice that has a long history of use for increasing calmness and physical relaxation, improving psychological balance, coping with illness, and enhancing overall health and well-being. At Florida Center for Recovery we utilize meditation to promote a sense of inner peace and calm, increase self-awareness, improve mental functioning, and help clients detach from thoughts and impulses, which can help reduce cravings and prevent relapse.

Drumming Therapy

Drumming Therapy is a method of utilizing the natural power of rhythm and sound and applying it to an individual or group for the purpose of healing. Studies have shown that repetitive drumming changes brain wave activity, inducing a state of calm and focused awareness. Drumming Therapy is utilized at Florida Center for recovery as an alternative therapy in the treatment of addiction to help clients tap into their emotions allowing them to engage with their inner self through sounds and rhythm.

Bodyweight Cardio

Bodyweight Cardio Exercises are strength training exercises that do not require free weights or machines as the individual's own weight provides resistance against gravity. At Florida Center for Recovery we understand the key health benefits of exercise and we incorporate light-bodyweight-cardio into our addiction treatment program. Guided by our licensed physical trainer clients learn easy to follow workout plans to help the body regain balance through the natural production of endorphins. These beneficial routine exercises are helpful in regulating brain chemistry which regulates mood swings and cravings.

Spiritual Counseling

Spiritual Counseling is a holistic therapeutic treatment approach that allows recovering individuals to achieve spiritual growth by searching for life's meaning, belief in a higher power, or connection to nature or the universe. Spiritual Counseling is known to help individuals overcome personal challenges and adopt healthier behaviors significantly reducing stress, anxiety and depression.

Yoga

Yoga is the use of physical postures to learn how to connect mind, body, and breath to gain self-awareness and focus attention inward. It is offered at Florida Center for Recovery as part of our holistic approach to addiction treatment to promote relaxation, reduce stress, regulate mood and boost mind-body awareness. Yoga is also known to help regulate emotions, maintain an optimistic outlook in life, and aid in relapse prevention.
