Substance Abuse Q & A

What is substance abuse treatment?

Substance dependency, whether it’s alcohol, cocaine, prescription pain medicines, or illegal opioids like heroin, stems from underlying emotional issues such as neglect, trauma, depression, and other contributing factors. 

The road to recovery begins by identifying these underlying causes of your addiction and continues as you learn to process your emotions and develop healthy coping skills. 

Every team member at EXIS Recovery is a highly trained doctoral or master’s level therapist. The team takes an integrative, holistic approach to treating substance use disorders. 

They design personalized recovery programs using a broad range of evidence-based techniques, such as:

  • Individual psychotherapy
  • Small-group counseling
  • Sensory-motor therapy
  • Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) 
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT)
  • Medication management

Because each program is customized to meet the needs of the individual, your personal treatment plan may include a 12-step or a non-12-step approach.

 Your plan may also include yoga, meditation, massage therapy, and other mind-body practices that relieve stress and promote overall mental and physical wellness.

How does substance abuse treatment work?

Outpatient treatment programs at EXIS Recovery provide a supportive environment in which each patient strengthens their understanding of why they abuse substances, how addiction causes them harm, and how they can make positive changes to achieve and maintain their sobriety. 

Outpatient programs also offer the opportunity to practice the skills needed to cope with negative emotions and avoid triggers for lasting recovery. These programs provide individuals with a community where they share their own struggles and provide support for others on their personal recovery journey.

EXIS Recovery offers more individual sessions per client per week than most treatment centers, and groups are never larger than seven people. This ensures that each patient receives high-quality, focused care throughout their time in treatment.

Outpatient recovery programs at EXIS Recovery include:

Day treatment

Day treatment is designed as the next step for those who have completed detox or a residential treatment program. Typically, day treatment involves 25-30 hours, five days per week. 

Intensive outpatient

Intensive programs offer patients the flexibility to undergo treatment without disrupting work, school, or family obligations. 

Professionals’ intensive outpatient program

This refers to a flexible program designed to meet the scheduling and privacy needs of professionals and high-profile individuals. 

Adolescent/young adult program

This type of program is designed to provide treatment for younger patients while they live at home, remain in school, and continue being actively involved in their communities.

If you or someone you love is suffering from addiction, don’t hesitate to call EXIS Recovery today to request an appointment.
