Role

IOP Program

Recovery focus

Co-occurring

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. A structured trauma therapy that helps the brain re-file painful memories so they stop hijacking the present.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.

DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Stops fighting hard feelings and instead points your action toward what you actually value.

MI

Motivational Interviewing. A collaborative conversation that strengthens your own reasons for change rather than arguing you into it.

Solution-focused

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Spends less time on the why and more on what already works, then does more of that on purpose.

Family systems

Family Systems work. Brings the people closest to you into the recovery picture, since urges and relationships rarely live in separate boxes.

Group therapy

Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.

Person-centered

Person-Centered Therapy. Roger’s humanistic approach. The clinician offers unconditional positive regard and follows your lead rather than directing the work. Slow, warm, relationship-first.
