Dialectical Behavioral Therapy at Southeast Detox

Evidence-Based Therapies We Offer

Our clinical program is built around proven therapeutic methods used to treat addiction, mental health disorders, and trauma. Each approach is adapted to meet your needs, your pace, and your long-term goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact—especially during moments of stress, cravings, or conflict. Clients use CBT to:

  • Identify negative thinking patterns
  • Replace harmful behaviors with healthier ones
  • Build coping skills for real-life triggers

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is especially helpful if you struggle with big emotions, relationship conflict, or impulsive behavior connected to substance use. DBT teaches skills in:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Distress tolerance
  • Mindfulness
  • Interpersonal communication

EMDR Therapy for Trauma

Many people use substances to numb unresolved trauma or painful memories. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain process and release trauma without re-traumatization.

EMDR supports clients struggling with:

  • PTSD
  • Childhood trauma
  • Grief and loss
  • Traumatic stress tied to addiction

Holistic & Experiential Therapies

Whole-person healing requires more than talk therapy. Our holistic services help clients reconnect with their bodies, calm the nervous system, and build natural resilience. Depending on your level of care, this may include:

  • Yoga and mindful movement
  • Meditation and breathwork
  • Creative or experiential activities
  • Wellness and grounding techniques

Relapse Prevention & Skills Development

Evidence shows that recovery improves when clients learn how to handle real-world triggers before leaving treatment. Our relapse-prevention program includes:

  • Identifying high-risk situations
  • Building emotional and behavioral coping plans
  • Learning how to manage cravings
  • Creating a step-by-step aftercare strategy

At Southeast Addiction Detox, we help clients prepare for long-term sobriety with relapse prevention

12-Step Support & Community Connection

Community is a major part of recovery for many clients. While our program is not strictly 12-Step, we offer groups and discussions rooted in the principles of acceptance, accountability, and connection.

Therapies for Mental Health & Co-Occurring Conditions

Many clients entering detox or residential care are also navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or trauma-related symptoms. We integrate mental health treatment into every therapy track through our Dual Diagnosis approach, which includes:

  • Psychiatric evaluation
  • Medication management when appropriate
  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Emotional regulation coaching
  • Mindfulness and grounding practices

Addressing both conditions at once gives clients the best chance at long-term recovery.

Therapies by Level of Care

During detox, therapy focuses on stabilization, safety, and preparing you for deeper clinical work once withdrawal symptoms improve.

During Residential Treatment

Therapy becomes more structured and intensive, helping you work through root causes, patterns, and emotional barriers to recovery. Residential treatment typically includes several of the therapy approaches discussed above, tailored to your individual needs.

Your Treatment Plan Is Personal

No two people walk into Southeast Detox with the same story. That’s why we customize your therapy plan based on:

  • Substance use history
  • Mental health symptoms
  • Trauma background
  • Medical needs
  • Your goals for recovery

Every therapeutic decision is made collaboratively with you.
