Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy acknowledges that your thinking impacts your emotions and actions and helps you create healthier thought patterns. CBT can help you identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts, calm your mind, and face your fears rationally.

Experiential Therapy

You have a safe environment to address challenging relationships, trauma, and other issues. Family therapy is a common part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, and may be used to help address trauma, build better relationships, and help loved ones become part of your support network.
Group Therapy
Talking about what we’re going through is an important way to heal, and group therapy in Tennessee gives you that opportunity.

Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Individual Therapy
If you struggle with addiction in Tennessee, it’s common to feel like no one understands you. Individual therapy can help you find professional support. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and individual therapy may be a part of each of these stages.
