Individualized therapies are almost all exclusively evidence-based, tailored, treatment methods usually provided in a one-on-one setting with a skilled therapist or clinician. The therapist works with the client to understand his full story well and then naturally weaves different techniques into their therapy sessions as needed. Together they seek to bolster the true, remarkable but often buried or unrecognized Self, and address any underlying stresses, traumas or feelings that may be causing an addiction, and provide resolution as well as life-long recovery tools.
General, natural Holistic therapies, however, are usually done in a group setting, with the direction and assistance of a trained and experienced teacher. During these sessions each client uses the therapeutic and meditative environment it provides to help remain centered and access deeper inner feelings he seeks during his recovery process, often with the personal help and guidance of the therapist or leader. During these sessions each client uses the therapeutic and meditative environment it provides to help remain centered and access deeper inner feelings he seeks during his recovery process, often with the personal help and guidance of the therapist. These therapies also impart excellent long term behavioral, focus and emotional management skills which each client learns to integrate into their life in recovery.
Common Advanced Treatments
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT):
MAT is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a more complete “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. Having become increasingly established as standard treatment for certain commonly used substances, this combination of medication and therapy is often used to help successfully treat substance and opioid disorders, and for some people struggling with addiction, MAT can also help sustain recovery.
The prescribed medication, containing certain similar chemical characteristics to some commonly used addictive drugs and in medically designated quantities and combinations -given as a tablet or an injection- help restore balance to the brain circuits affected by addiction, allowing the patient’s brain and body to heal while working toward recovery. These medications work to block the euphoric effects of alcohol or opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and normalize physical body functions without the negative and euphoric effects of substance use.
Determining its usage, dosage, and length of treatment continuation, is a decision made by a medical team usually consisting of a therapist and a properly licensed doctor intimately familiar with the specifics of each individual’s case. As such, MAT provides a comprehensive, individually tailored program of medication and behavioral therapy that address the needs of most patients. And while its practical uses may vary, the ultimate goal of MAT is to aid in achieving full recovery, including the ability to live a continuously stable, healthy and self-directed life beyond addiction and intensive therapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):
A common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy), CBT combines what are commonly known as Cognitive and Behavior therapies, by identifying faulty or toxic patterns of both thinking and emotional response, or behavior, and substituting them with desirable patterns of thinking, and responses. This approach is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle which may lead to addictive tendencies. CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. It also focuses on replacing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with fresh ways of thinking and desirable responses or actions.
This therapy focuses on changing the spontaneous or almost automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen emotional responses, depression, and anxiety, and can also have a detrimental influence on our mood. CBT helps us become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so we can view and interpret challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. It’s often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help one identify and cope with specific challenges.
Analyzing the individual’s environmental and social factors that elicit unwanted patterns or reactions is the first step in understanding the source of negative thinking. Together, patients and therapists will examine the person’s daily routine and identify environmental factors, people, or stressors in their lives that prompt self-doubt and perhaps poor choices.

Together, patients and therapists will examine the person’s daily routine and identify environmental factors, people, or stressors in their lives that prompt self-doubt and perhaps poor choices.
Individuals will recognize how their thinking influences their emotions in difficult moments, and, working with the therapist, find effective and personalized coping mechanisms which will ultimately help them identify and manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in real-world situations. Learning to take control of one’s thoughts will help to instill the willpower and strength to overcome any mental or emotional struggle.
Included in this class of behavioral therapy are a few sub-modalities, most common are:
A) Rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) involves identifying one’s less rational or reasonable beliefs, actively challenging them, and learning to recognize and change these thought patterns. This therapy focuses on differentiating between self-destructive, unnecessary negative emotions vs. helpful, appropriate albeit negative ones. REBT works to uproot one’s sometimes absolutistic mental rules, allowing cognitive twists to get corrected with an adjusted perspective.
REBT aims to ultimately get you to the point of unconditionally accepting yourself with your flaws, unconditionally accepting others with their imperfections, and accepting life unconditionally with its discomfort, hassles, and unfairness.

B) Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): A talk therapy for people who experience emotions or relationships very intensely, who may as a result have difficulties with their relationships, and their actions are often very impulsive. The term “dialectical” comes from the idea that bringing together two opposites in therapy — acceptance and change — brings better results than either one alone.
DBT, is a modified alternative to CBT, and while CBT focuses on thought patterns and their redirection, DBT focuses more on internal balance and emphasizes the relationship between acceptance and change. DBT stresses the practice of mindfulness, increasing distress tolerance, strengthening emotional regulation skills, and growing relationships.
Individuals explore a deeper meaning of their lives through this process of recovery. They will learn to set appropriate goals for themselves, embrace healthy activities they enjoy, and understand what’s going on inside them as well as around them, while implementing self-soothing techniques, and establishing how to assess and realize their needs while maintaining self-respect and healthy relationships. A positive self-identity is cultivated through these sessions in which the person establishes self-compassion, appreciation, acceptance, and a general increased sense of self-worth and purpose.
Unique Cutting-Edge Treatment Methods
In addition to the fundamental therapy techniques traditionally used as the basis for almost all behavioral, mental as well as emotional health management or treatment, our staff also use many of the most advanced, cutting-edge methods and therapies to bring about the most robust and enduring positive outcomes for our clients.
In keeping with our mission and approach, we select treatments which seek to bring out the quality and positivity in our clients. Some techniques are used seamlessly by the therapists during regular therapy sessions, while others are utilized individually as stand alone therapies or as relaxation and meditation enhancers.
Treatment methods are evaluated based on a person by person basis, considering -in collaboration with the client himself- which methods are most appropriate for him, and those often used include:
Internal Family Systems (IFS): An approach to psychotherapy that identifies and addresses multiple sub-personalities or “internal families” within each person’s mental/emotional system. These sub-personalities consist of wounded parts or painful emotions such as anger and shame, and also other parts that try to protect the person from the pain of the wounded parts. The sub-personalities are often in conflict with each other and with one’s core Self. The “Self” is a concept that describes the confident, compassionate, unique, whole person that is at the core of every individual, a genuine self waiting to be accessed. The Self can identify, observe, and help these parts become less extreme, more productive, and coexist effectively.
“Protective” forces are activated when the wounded parts of the personality produce overwhelming, painful, or threatening emotions of trauma or anger or fear. These often overwhelmingly strong forces aim to inhibit those difficult emotions by any means necessary, such as substance use which distracts the person from facing those difficult emotions.
IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring balance and harmony, changing the conditions that create this unrest happening among the sub-personalities and the Self.
Our clients work together with a therapist to identify and understand the specific sub-personalities or families that make up their internal mental and emotional system. Once these parts are identified, the therapist will help the client acknowledge his feelings about suppressed emotions, learn how to release these feelings so he is freer to address any actual underlying problem, and ultimately, to find more positive ways to manage and resolve such internal conflicts on his own.
Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST): An advanced twist on the aforementioned IFS concept, TIST focuses on redirecting past traumas -large and small- from promoting internal conflict among the internal parts, to contributing positively to an improved personality and character. More of a healing process than a neutralizing therapy, this method’s approach is to focus on the legacy of deeply embedded trauma carried now by young, traumatized parts.
This therapy is based on the theory of “Inner Child Work” which recognizes the inner child or young past-self still extant in the physically grown man often as an undeveloped and clamoring emotional component in the current sub-personalities. TIST penetrates into the deepest levels of personality, helping clients to resolve developmental trauma, addictions, feelings of emptiness, depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues and more.
A troubled part can be a problem or a solution: a part with a defensive or combative posture, for example, can harm the body and mind or harm others, or alternatively, it can contribute strength, courage and energy for the challenges ahead. The sought outcome of healing is when the adult individuals they are today accept and welcome each part as a contributor to their survival and when they can make use of the gifts of each part to forge a life beyond trauma.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a unique, clinically researched method of “Energy Therapy” that is used to help eliminate stress, fear, anger, sadness, cravings and much more. EFT uses intentional tapping on acupuncture meridians to disrupt painful patterns, and allow new freedom from emotional trauma. The technique is based on the theory that disruptions in the body’s energy system which may come due to trauma, anxiety or stress among other triggers, cause disconcerted emotions from “blockages” and tightening in our fluids and energy flow.
This therapy involves gently tapping on certain known points of the body while the recipient of the treatment is encouraged to focus on any specific problem causing his disturbing emotions. During the tapping of various clog points, the person will bring up a thought or issue that is bothering or stressing him -essentially “knotting” him, and remind himself that he is and will be OK despite whatever issue may be putting this pressure on his emotions.
The process aims to relieve recurring distress by isolating the memory of the underlying issue and eliminating the disruptive emotional charge that usually comes with it. The patient learns to remove the emotional energy response to the memory, resulting in positive changes in thinking and healthier energy distribution.
(EMDR) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: This therapy is primarily used to address trauma, presuming that prior trauma, large PTSD like trauma or even milder ones, is often the cause for much of the mental and emotional challenges we experience. When you undergo EMDR, you access memories of a trauma event in very specific ways that produce a healthier storage of those memories. During normal events, our brain stores memories smoothly and also networks them, so they connect to other things we remember. During deeply disturbing or upsetting events, that networking doesn’t happen correctly. Often, the brain stores trauma memories in a way that doesn’t allow for healthy processing or healing.
Harnessing the utilization of both sides of the brain and its functions in order to process a memory, EMDR works to induce a mental balance which facilitates healing. Combined with eye movements or other physical attention controls, and guided instructions, accessing those memories under these specific conditions helps reprocess what is remembered from a negative event. Methods for EMDR can involve vision exercises, using motions or specialized light devices. Other techniques might use sound, where speakers on either side of your body play tones. Healthcare providers might also use your sense of touch , tapping on your hands, arms or feet to activate your sense of touch on both sides of your body.
EMDR temporarily slows your over-stimulated amygdala down and synchronizes your brain waves, helping you process the traumatic memory properly in healthier memory language. That reprocessing helps uproot the destructive coding and repair the mental injury from that memory. Remembering what happened to you will no longer feel like reliving it, and the related feelings will be much more manageable.
Compassionate Inquiry (CI): The basic premise of Compassionate Inquiry is that the primary cause of our suffering is because there is some form of disconnection from the truth of ourselves. During therapy sessions, a therapist aims to separate the “stories” that we tend to tell ourselves about ourselves and our lives -often out of necessity due to pressure, shame, guilt, or low self-esteem, from the truth that is the core personality and characteristics of each person.
CI assumes that underlying unfilled emotional needs can cause harsh self-loathing and strong discontent, as well as unhealthy habits of emotion “burying”. The aim of Compassionate Inquiry is reconnecting with our own truths: compassionately identifying why we feel and react in certain ways to specific happenings or situations, understanding and acknowledging the underlying deep emotions, anxieties or worries, and thereby facilitating liberation from internal disruptions.
A person suffering emotionally and responding in certain unwanted ways, may just be struggling with old and forgotten unmet emotional needs for connection, love and acceptance, even beginning as early as toddlerhood. The unprocessed emotional pains and wants eventually sink-in crudely and get buried deeply across the physiological system, and may produce continuous and varied emotional, mental and even physical disturbances as a result, throughout life or until these emotional voids are recognized and accepted so that they are no longer hidden, untranslated vexing feelings.
A shift in tone and perspective in the inner voice, changes the nature of the harsh internal narration of an individual, affording himself at least as much understanding and empathy as he often allows others and their emotional weak points, and ends the problematic burial of broken emotional pieces across all parts of the internal system.
Trauma Therapy is a general term, referring to many different therapies which address past trauma fundamentally. Most of the therapies and methods described thus far are recognizably highly trauma oriented.
At the heart of the development of Post Traumatic complications is the avoidance of experiencing certain memories and feelings we perceive as too terrifying to re-experience safely. This avoidance, essentially the lid we hold on the pot, comes at a terrible price—exhaustion, depression, shame, irritability, and often an inability to ever really be at ease in the world. But since it can feel like the only way to get by, we may naturally continue this avoidance, even as our health -physical and mental, relationships, and stable daily lives, are all gradually worn down due to its effects.
Therapy works to make those seemingly crushing memories tolerable enough to experience safely, so that they lose their frightful power and become transformed into perhaps painful but still very manageable parts of our past. The traumatic past experience then becomes just another part of our autobiography -unpleasant to recall, but not overwhelming or deeply distressing.
EEG (Biofeedback) -Neurofeedback: A self-treatment method of managing or regulating the workings of the brain so it functions in a healthier manner through a non-invasive treatment that encourages the brain to develop healthier patterns of activity. This is achieved by repeated training sessions using a computerized neurofeedback program applied externally on the head.
This Neurotherapy program includes CES (Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation), Binaural Beats, and several other similar techniques using auditory or visual signals to help patients modify their thought patterns. This teaches the central nervous system to reorganize and regulate brainwave frequencies, and may even help teach the patient to recognize their own unhealthy thought patterns when they become activated.
This cutting-edge approach has both an immediate use, as well as an enduring effect. Neurotherapy aids in grounding and self-regulation, helping an individual to confront deeper issues with a calmer spirit. It also addresses the neuroscience of trauma by attempting to better regulate the limbic system in the brain.
As a component of Biofeedback -the belief in the capacity to train various bodily features and organs to adopt certain behaviors, by means of stimuli patterns, Neurofeedback harnesses the brain’s neuroplasticity – its ability to change itself – in order to bring about improvement. As the therapy helps you harmonize your brain waves, naturally the brain learns to function more efficiently.
