Individual Therapy for Substance Use Disorder in Massachusetts | Northstar Recovery Center in Southborough, MA | PHP IOP and OP in MA

Individual therapy is a standard treatment for substance abuse disorder because it allows patients to work with a therapist one-on-one, focusing on their individual needs and the specific reasons they have turned to drugs. Individual therapy for substance use disorder can be very effective in helping individuals overcome addiction and learn healthy coping strategies to live without drugs or alcohol. In separate sessions, therapists will help patients identify triggers that lead them to use substances and the underlying issues driving those behaviors. They’ll also help addicts develop new coping skills by teaching relaxation techniques and healthy ways of managing stress. With these tools at their disposal, recovering addicts can feel confident knowing they have what it takes to deal with life’s challenges without turning back towards harmful substances.

Although the process of recovery from addiction can be long and complex, it’s worth every minute. The first step is detoxing from drugs and alcohol. This helps remove toxins from your body, so you’re not drinking or doing drugs while also reducing cravings by getting rid of accumulated alcohol in tissues and avoiding triggers for relapse. Once those necessities have been taken care of, individualized treatment plans at specialized substance abuse treatment facilities come into play.

WHO WE ARE

Why Individual Therapy is Necessary for Recovery from Substance Use Disorder

Healing from substance abuse takes more than just the physical detoxification process. Individual therapy addresses the mental and emotional needs of an individual suffering from substance use disorder. At the same time, therapy also helps you heal on a spiritual level by understanding why it happened to begin with. One of the most challenging parts, when an individual is in recovery from addiction, is that substances are usually used to self-medicate or deal with difficult situations and emotions. Once these drugs leave your body, it’s hard not only for you but also for other people in this situation. Especially loved ones who have been hurt by the actions of the individual suffering from substance use disorder. This is mostly because they will never fully understand what goes on inside someone else’s head while under its influence.
Life can be difficult, and the individual may need therapy to address their challenges. This will allow them to function successfully in life again with help from a professional therapist who knows how best to handle these situations emotionally.

The best way to avoid relapses is by getting ongoing therapy. Individual therapy can help the individual avoid relapse due to social stressors by identifying the situation and finding a better solution. In addition, individual therapy helps address these triggers for the client personally, which will help keep the risk at bay more than any other form of prevention alone.

What Happens in Individual Therapy for Substance Use Disorder?

 In any individual therapy session, a patient will meet with their therapist on a one-to-one basis. However, often the same person sees them over more extended periods. They can develop a rapport for individuals to feel more comfortable around that particular mental health professional who may have had positive effects throughout treatment thus far.
Individual therapy is the best kind of psychotherapy because it allows clients to get individualized attention. As a result, the therapist and client can work together on healing issues, leading them towards recovery much more quickly than without any support.
In addition, individual sessions with a therapist can address specific issues or feelings that the client may not be comfortable sharing in group settings. In these one-on-one discussions, the client and therapist can get more into depth and cover ground faster than what would happen if there were many people present who also needed attention.
But it’s important to remember this: sometimes talking things aloud helps us process them!

Our clients receive the care and treatment of their lives with compassion, experience in healing ills that others don’t know how to handle. Our experienced therapists tailor their approach for each client they treat; at Northstar Recovery Center we understand what’s important – YOU!
