Individual Therapy in Treatment for Substance Abuse

Substance abuse is a growing problem in Ohio and the United States. Addiction to drugs or alcohol can have devastating consequences for individuals and families, but recovery is possible with the right treatment. At Forward Health Ohio, we specialize in helping individuals overcome addiction through evidence-based treatment, including individual therapy.

Individual therapy is an essential component of our treatment approach at Forward Health Ohio. During these one-on-one sessions, clients work with a licensed therapist to explore the underlying causes of their addiction, develop coping skills, and set goals for their recovery. Our therapists use evidence-based practices, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, to help clients achieve lasting change.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By learning new coping skills and challenging negative thoughts, clients can develop healthier ways of dealing with stress and difficult emotions. Motivational interviewing is a counseling technique that helps clients explore their motivations for change and build confidence in their ability to make positive changes.

Individual therapy sessions are tailored to the individual’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances. Clients may meet with their therapist once a week or more frequently, depending on their level of need. During sessions, clients have the opportunity to discuss their progress, setbacks, and concerns with their therapist. Our therapists provide support, guidance, and accountability to help clients stay on track with their recovery.

Individual Therapy Services

In addition to individual therapy, we offer a range of other services to support our clients’ recovery. These include group therapy, family therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and holistic therapies such as yoga and meditation. Our team works together to provide comprehensive care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of addiction.

Group therapy is an effective way for clients to connect with others who are going through similar experiences. In group therapy sessions, clients can share their struggles and successes, learn from one another, and build a sense of community. Family therapy is also available for clients who want to involve their loved ones in their recovery. Family therapy can help clients repair relationships, build healthy communication skills, and develop a support system.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a treatment approach that combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT can be particularly helpful for individuals with opioid addiction, as it can reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Our team includes certified addiction physicians who can prescribe medication and monitor clients’ progress.

Holistic therapies such as yoga and meditation can help clients reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and cultivate a sense of inner peace. These practices can be particularly beneficial for clients who struggle with anxiety or depression, which often co-occur with substance abuse.

At Forward Health Ohio, we recognize that addiction is a complex disease that requires personalized treatment. We take a client-centered approach to care, which means that each person’s treatment plan is tailored to their unique needs and goals. We also offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate clients’ busy lives.
