One of the most popular and effective methods of treatment is individual therapy. Take a closer look at why one-on-one therapy works and how it can be beneficial to those in addiction recovery.

How Individual Therapy Works

Individual therapy involves just two people: the patient and the therapist. While the exact duration and frequency of individual therapy can change, sessions often last for one hour. Our treatment center offers them once per week, depending on how often you may need it. We understand that comprehensive addiction therapy services can have an incredibly positive impact on the recovery journey. This is why we provide individual therapy among other therapeutic approaches.

This type of one-on-one therapy works by addressing the specific problems a person might have. In the world of addiction treatment, common problems might be the shame that society associates with drug or alcohol addiction, the difficulty of recovery withdrawal, or struggles with relapse.

Above all, one-on-one therapy works by allowing patients to have a safe space where they can share information without judgment. Therapists have a unique position where patients trust them with sensitive information. Patients know that their therapists won’t pass judgment or cause problems in relationships or careers in the future. This support, guidance, and advice are critical during recovery from addiction.

Great facilities, compassionate and knowledgeable staff….this place will show you how to save your life, and how to be happy doing it.

Privacy Encourages Honesty and Sharing

Individual therapy enables an individual to achieve a more personal connection than group therapy. Individual therapy is also private. As a result, this encourages patients to be more open and honest about their feelings and experiences. This is vital, and it can be a big factor in how well patients recover.

For example, not all patients feel comfortable sharing their past trauma with a large group. However, a history of trauma might be a key piece of information to help individuals recover from addiction. Similarly, patients might not want to share that they are having suicidal thoughts with their peers. Revealing this to a therapist is much easier. In individual therapy, there is a safe space and understanding of privacy.

Encourage Better Communication Skills

One of the skills that individuals have to improve in recovery is the ability to communicate effectively. In large group settings, some individuals may feel overwhelmed. As a result, they may struggle to feel heard or to speak out.

In one-on-one therapy sessions, patients are able to greatly improve their communication skills. Therapists ask specific questions that help their patients share information. Additionally, patients have to think critically and be specific about their responses. This form of therapy also allows the patient to feel heard and understood by someone. This is not always easy to do while in recovery.
