Addiction Treatment Programs

Dual Diagnosis
The best way for those with a mental health diagnosis and substance use concerns to reach recovery is to choose a dual-diagnosis rehab in Oregon. A successful recovery may require counseling, peer support, and even mental health medication to help you manage your mental health symptoms and find better coping strategies.
Senior Rehab

Therapies

Individual Therapy
During rehab in Oregon, individual therapy allows you to receive focused, confidential care for specific issues. Individual therapy is only one element of rehab treatment, along with activities, peer support, group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Group Therapy
In Oregon, group therapy allows you to hear others’ stories, ask questions, and find others who relate to you. This support and accountability help you establish recovery. There are several goals in group therapy. Some sessions may be focused on education about a certain topic, while others allow clients to discuss a specific issue they face. Overall, the group members hold each other accountable and provide encouragement.
Family Therapy
In Oregon, family therapy allows you to understand how family relationships and patterns may have impacted your substance use. Everyone learns to have healthier relationships that support their recovery. During family therapy, you may talk about acceptance issues, past trauma, communication problems, and more. These discussions are facilitated by a professional who brings an unbiased perspective and can promote healthy communication.
Trauma Therapy
Attending trauma-informed therapy in Oregon is a way to overcome the symptoms of past trauma and develop better coping skills, helping you establish long-term recovery. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and trauma-informed therapy may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients acknowledge past experiences, address their feelings, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
