Therapists

The most important ingredient for successful addiction treatment success is a therapeutic solution to the underlying diagnosis. The providers listed on this site all embody the medically managed (doctor and nurse) dual diagnosis (therapist) combination as the preferred treatment modality that evidence based medicine indicates provides the best possible successful outcome measurements.

The real hero is the therapist, who does the heavy lifting with focus on the underlying causation of abuse of drugs or alcohol. Our individual therapy incorporates cognitive behavioral lesson plans and light homework assignments to assist patients in understanding how to react, with the various aspects of the underlying causation that leads to self-medication. Group therapy is typically experiental learning to reorient the patients and to relearn how to socialize, regain spirituality (if desired) and re-enter the workplace.

Stastically, approximately 22% of adult Americans have and underlying diagnosis such as anger, anxiety, fear, stress, depression, low self image and/or many other obvious conditions like ADHD, bi-polar disorder or skitzophrenia. At the same time it is estimated that about 20% of the adult population has a substance abuse problem.

This correlation has been long known and understood and is the basis for the development of the medically managed dual diagnose treatment protocols in use by our licensee found on this web site. Providers who understand this relationship would agree that to enter treatment today (with or with medication management), would be a significant waste of money without integrated one on one individual, couples, family and group therapy.

We are always in need therapists to complete a treatment team approach using the resources available to licensing physicians, clinics and existing providers wishing to provide modern and effective treatment services.
