One of the terms you’ll hear at Raleigh Recovery Center is “whole person.” It’s the practice of helping each person to develop the skills and resources they need to overcome addiction in all ways it impacts you – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It impacts your ability to work and maintain relationships. It even plays a role in your quality of life.
By offering you a whole-person addiction treatment approach, we give you the tools you need to not just stop using a substance but to reclaim the life and goals you desire.
Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment
Raleigh Recovery offers an evidence-based addiction treatment program. At the heart of it is a set of treatment methods and types that support long-term recovery. They’re known, proven, and have data to back up their effectiveness. That doesn’t mean there’s a single treatment that’s best for you, though. Most people need a combination of care to support their recovery.
Our treatment starts with:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy: This treatment is a form of talk therapy that focuses on changing negative thoughts. Those negative thoughts are commonly the cause of negative behaviors. You’ll learn why they aren’t accurate and how those thoughts turn into debilitating behavior that unfairly limits your future.
- Dialectical behavior therapy: This type of therapy provides emotional regulation strategies and teaches distress tolerance. You’ll learn how to improve interpersonal skills to combat negative situations in a more effective manner.
- Motivational interviewing: In MI, our focus is on strengthening motivation and helping you to see the value in committing to recovery.
These programs align with one-on-one therapy sessions between you and a licensed professional. But you’ll also have an opportunity to work through group therapy to learn real-world skills that foster long-term health and well-being. You’ll learn how to form and maintain healthy relationships, be accountable to yourself, and get the support you need.
Holistic Therapy
Our whole person focus on addiction recovery means we also incorporate holistic therapies that support restoration, balance, and overall wellbeing. These are programs where you’ll learn about yourself, gain confidence, and focus on your health. Many times, holistic therapies like these can help you reconnect with yourself and even build better ways to express yourself, heal, and manage stress. Some of the holistic services available at our addiction treatment center includes:
- Yoga: Yoga is a proven strategy for improving overall fitness but also for dealing with stress. It is an important mindfulness tool that helps ground you and allows you to release the tension and frustration of the day in a healthy manner.
- Meditation techniques: You’ll learn how to control your thought patterns not only to avoid negative behaviors, but also to stimulate growth. You have the ability to achieve when you have the right frame of mind.
- Nutrition education: Addiction depletes the body of critical nutrients that foster health and keep your organs working at their best. Proper nutrition can seem impossible, especially at first. We’ll give you the knowledge and tools you need to make critical changes.
- Physical wellness and fitness activities: This is just as important to healing as any of the other strategies available. We’ll help you learn how to use exercise and physical activity to support long-term healing and stress relief.
- Creative expression and experiential therapies: From art to music, and many other ways, experiential therapies are a big part of learning about yourself and expressing the pain of what you’ve been through and continue to face.
Each one of these core therapies and tools gives you support. They are never forced on you. You don’t have to do things you don’t want to do. But you will have the opportunity to try out these strategies in a private, secure environment where there is no judgment and endless possibilities.
Providing Ongoing Support
There’s so much more that goes into successful addiction treatment. Each person receives a full physical and mental health assessment. We then create a plan that works for your needs. Most people also benefit from:
- Relapse prevention planning that ensures there is a plan for dealing with tomorrow’s struggles in place
- Resources and methods for managing stress, since we cannot eliminate all stress from your life
- Healthy daily routines that support ongoing wellbeing, and give you a way to move forward each day
- Ongoing therapy and outpatient care planning
- Community support tools and recovery networks that help you move beyond where you are not to where you want to be
Our addiction treatment is compassionate, supportive care where you will feel safe, supported, and most importantly, understood. Contact Raleigh Recovery today to learn how we can help you.
