Recovery Reimagined for Lasting Change

The Counterpoint Recovery approach combines real-world experience with the tested and proven framework provided by established treatment programs, such as the Twelve Step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. Our curriculum is the perfect blend of clinical treatment and the foundation and framework provided by the Twelve Step program. The level of thoughtful intention that went into developing it allows us to guarantee that everyone who completes it will have received comprehensive therapeutic care and thorough education in all 12 steps. 

Here are just a few other methods our treatment program uses to help those battling addiction:

• Gender specific treatment: Our gender specific programs addresses the unique challenges men and women face from addiction and during the recovery process. This creates a safe space for men and women to be open about their respective battles, share their experiences, and support each other.
• Evidence-based therapies: We incorporate proven modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), EMDR, internal family systems (IFS), and motivational interviewing (MI) to create healthy coping mechanisms and a positive mindset during recovery.
• Wellness practices: Our programs feature wellness practices to support physical and mental healing. These practices include meditation to reduce stress and anxiety, yoga to promote holistic relaxation, exercise to increase energy levels and strength, and more. 
• Family involvement: We believe families are an integral part of a recovery journey, so our program includes family education and therapy sessions to restore trust, improve communication, and understand the battle of addiction.

The Importance of Counseling in Addiction Recovery

Counseling is critical to our recovery efforts at Counterpoint. Our team strives to create an intimate space where clients can feel grounded as they express emotions, work through traumas, and get to the underlying causes of their addiction. Often, our clients also attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and follow the proven tenets of its 12-step program. 

Recovery is a continuous process that requires individuals to be diligently committed to sobriety. Through diverse counseling modalities, we equip clients with what they need to achieve a happy, healthy, and sober future.

Our counseling modalities rely on practices derived from the following:

Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This approach focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to addiction. It is useful for recognizing triggers, managing cravings, and developing healthy coping mechanisms. 

Benefits of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

By integrating CBT techniques and mindfulness practices, DBT aims to regulate emotions and increase distress tolerance. This is beneficial for managing overwhelming emotions, rebuilding relationships, and reducing reliance on substances as coping mechanisms for stress or trauma. 

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) 

Using eye movements, taps, and sounds, EMDR helps people process traumatic memories and lessen the stress associated with them. This therapy approach can reprocess negative thoughts and emotions tied to certain addiction triggers. 

Healing with Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS works by helping clients resolve inner conflicts, heal emotional damage, and restore self-compassion and inner balance. 

Motivational Interviewing (MI) for Lasting Change

Using MI, we prepare clients for change, assist them in setting achievable goals, promote self-efficacy, and strengthen their commitment to recovery.
