How Therapy Works for Substance Abuse

Substance abuse can significantly affect an individual’s physical and mental health, relationships, career, and overall quality of life. While recovery from substance abuse can be challenging, therapy can be an effective tool in the journey toward recovery.

At Spanish Clinic LLC, we recognize the importance of therapy in the recovery of those who suffer from substance abuse. That’s why we offer a unique form of cognitive-behavioral therapy called the MRT Program as part of an overall intervention.

Here’s how therapy works for substance abuse:

• Identifying thought patterns
  Therapy for substance abuse typically involves cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT, a talk therapy helping individuals identify negative behaviors and thought patterns contributing to their substance abuse.

  Through our recovery program in Colorado, individuals learn coping strategies and skills to manage triggers and cravings and develop a relapse prevention plan.

• Restoring relationships and providing support
  Therapy for substance abuse may also include family therapy. It can help to repair damaged relationships and provide support for loved ones.

  Group therapy can also be part of recovery planning, as it provides individuals with a sense of community and support and the opportunity to learn from others going through similar experiences.

• Combining therapy and medication
  Therapy for substance abuse is not a one-size-fits-all approach and may be tailored to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. It may also be combined with other forms of treatment, such as medication-assisted treatment or detoxification.
