Recovery First Treatment Center

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions are typically one hour in duration and offered once per week with the patient’s primary therapist. A variety of different treatment modalities are used but not limited to motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is reserved for those who have been in treatment for some time and whose physician and therapist agree that this intensive level of work is appropriate for the patient.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT combines pharmacotherapy with counseling and behavioral therapeutic approaches to treat substance use disorders such as alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder. The program primarily prescribes Naltrexone.

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions are one hour in length and occur 3 to 6 times a day, 7 days a week. Some of our group therapy offerings include:

• Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT).
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).
• Pain management groups.

Process groups

Process groups may include anything from acclimating someone to the program to letting them know therapists’ schedules, the therapy structure, and more. In these process groups, the therapist is the one that decides the topic to be discussed depending on the patient’s needs, allowing a free-flowing structure and a focus on topics the therapist and patient feel are important.

Alternative Psycho-Educational, Supportive, & Expressive Therapies

Additional therapeutic interventions are offered to support your overall care and wellbeing. A few of our noteworthy offerings include:

• Music therapy.
• Art therapy.
• Mindfulness.
• Yoga.

Approximately 40% of Recovery First’s staff members are in recovery, so they understand firsthand what it’s like to battle addiction and thrive in recovery.

This gives the staff a level of compassion and empathy that is evident throughout the treatment process. Several staff members are fluent in Spanish, including one who is also a veteran. This therapist started a group specifically for Spanish-speaking veterans.

Programming

The family program is held twice a month two days a week, always on Fridays and Saturdays. Family members learn about the science of addiction and gain a better understanding of the concept of addiction as a disease. Therapists also participate in individual family work in the afternoon.

Visiting Your Loved One

While visits are not permitted while a patient is in detox, due largely to the volatile nature of the procedure, Recovery First encourages family to visit during the residential and inpatient phases of treatment. Family programming is held twice a month, on select Fridays and Saturdays. During your loved one’s treatment, we can work with you to plan a visit. Your loved one’s treatment team will provide you with all of the information you need to schedule your visit.
