Therapies

Trauma Therapy
Talking about what you’ve been through and how it impacted you is an important way to heal, and trauma-informed therapy in Wisconsin gives you that opportunity. Both inpatient treatment and outpatient care can include trauma-informed therapy, which helps you create a feeling of safety, access peer support, embrace the validity of your feelings, and create healthy coping skills.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Wisconsin is to address negative thinking patterns to create positive change. Substance use treatment includes detox, inpatient treatment, and outpatient care, and CBT may be a part of each of these stages. The goal is to help clients identify disorted thinking, replace it with rational thinking, and change their response accordingly.
Rational Behavioral Therapy
Rational behavior therapy in Wisconsin can help you challenge the beliefs behind your emotions and actions. This therapy may include role-playing to help you imagine specific situations that might trigger a negative reaction so you can practice challenging irrational beliefs and choosing a more positive response.
