Exploring Different Types of Therapy for Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

At Santa Barbara Recovery, we understand that addiction and mental health issues can impact every aspect of an individual’s life. That’s why we offer a range of evidence-based treatments and therapies to help individuals achieve lasting wellness. Here are some of the different types of therapy we offer:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a type of therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to treat addiction, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a type of therapy that focuses on developing skills to manage emotions and improve relationships. It is often used to treat addiction, borderline personality disorder, and other mental health issues.

Motivational Interviewing (MI): MI is a type of therapy that focuses on enhancing an individual’s motivation to change their behavior. It is often used to treat addiction and other behavioral issues.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a type of therapy that is often used to treat trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves a combination of talk therapy and eye movements to help individuals process traumatic memories.

Family Therapy: Family therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving communication and relationships within families. It is often used to treat addiction and other mental health issues.

Group Therapy: Group therapy involves participating in therapy sessions with a group of individuals who are dealing with similar issues. It provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment for individuals to share their experiences, offer and receive support, and learn from others.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness-based therapy involves developing a greater awareness of the present moment, and learning to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment. It is often used to treat addiction, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Art Therapy: Art therapy involves using art as a means of self-expression and healing. It is often used to treat trauma, addiction, and other mental health issues.

Music Therapy: Music therapy involves using music as a means of self-expression and healing. It is often used to treat addiction, depression, and other mental health issues.

Adventure Therapy: Adventure therapy involves using outdoor activities as a means of self-discovery and healing. It may include activities such as hiking, rock climbing, and camping, and can be particularly effective for individuals who may not respond as well to traditional talk therapy.

That’s why we work closely with each individual to develop a personalized treatment plan that meets their unique needs and goals.
