Treatment Modalities
We approach mental health and addiction on parallel paths, with attention to each person’s unique journey.
12-Step Facilitation
12-Step Facilitation Therapy offers a structured approach to addiction recovery by encouraging individuals to engage with a supportive community and develop healthy coping strategies.
Group Therapy
By fostering a community for patients to bond with peers facing similar struggles, they can express their feelings and learn from multiple perspectives outside their own experiences.
Individual Therapy
Our patients can set up individual therapy sessions to develop treatment goals and to focus on their unique challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
A psychotherapeutic technique designed to help patients identify and challenge negative thought patterns contributing to their addiction, allowing them to develop healthier coping mechanisms for long-term sobriety.
Yoga and Mindfulness
Yoga and mindfulness therapy helps patients focus on the present moment, reduce stress, and support long-term recovery and sobriety through techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, and physical postures.
Equine Therapy
Equine therapy utilizes the bond between humans and horses to foster emotional growth. Through activities like grooming and leading, participants develop skills such as trust and empathy.
Motivational Interviewing
Dilworth Center’s counselors incorporate motivational interviewing as an effective therapeutic tool, helping individuals explore their readiness for change.
Trauma Trained
(CCTP)
Dilworth Center’s counselors are trauma-trained professionals who approach care with a deep understanding of how past experiences impact recovery.
