Discovery Behavioral Health - Substance Abuse

Substance Use

Evidentiary Holistic Healing

Research about substance abuse has shown that real solutions lie in the application of solid, evidence-based treatment. Our comprehensive approach utilizes one-on-one psychotherapy, group therapy, family support and evidence-based holistic treatments to create positive changes in the patient’s brain.

Addiction Triggers

It is important to recognize that addiction ultimately stems from some form of pain or trauma – difficult situations that proved at the time to be too severe to overcome. Recognizing these triggers, we work to help patients develop new coping skills so they can effectively process these troubling underlying circumstances to once again connect with their authentic selves. At the same time, we help lay the foundation for the individual who is struggling with an addiction to begin repairing broken relationships compromised by their substance use disorder.
