What Makes for Successful Addiction Recovery?

The addiction counselors at Thriveworks Sterling Heights in Macomb County are trained to help their clients heal from addiction. This training, as well as their skills, knowledge, and experience enable these professionals to lead each individual on a successful path to recovery. They might choose from a handful of effective approaches to addiction counseling including:

  1. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): This form of therapy focuses on helping individual to understand and improve their thoughts, which heavily influence their behaviors. Using CBT, a therapist can help their clients to identify the triggers that lead to engaging in the addictive behavior.
  2. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT): DBT is also helpful in addiction recovery, as a main focus for these therapists is helping their clients to develop effective coping strategies for stressful situations, unlike turning to an addictive substance or behavior.
  3. Holistic therapies: Holistic therapy can also help clients to reflect on their behavior, practice healthy coping techniques, and communicate their needs. A couple examples of holistic therapy include art therapy and music therapy.

I appreciate how quickly I was able to make my first appointment and how flexible the providers are. I started off seeing Shelby in person but eventually transitioned to virtual appointments. It was so nice to meet Shelby in person and become more comfortable with her prior to switching to virtual appointments. Shelby is fantastic, she is an attentive listener and never makes me feel like I am wasting her time. I feel very comfortable and validated here!
