Evidence-based approaches

Mindfulness

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.

Holistic

Anger management

Brief intervention

A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

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

Contingency management/motivational incentives

Contingency Management. Evidence-based reinforcement approach: small, immediate, tangible rewards for verified abstinence and engagement. Strongest evidence base of any non-medication intervention for stimulant + gambling disorder.

Community reinforcement plus vouchers

A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.

Motivational interviewing

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

Matrix model

A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.

Relapse prevention

Relapse Prevention. Identifies your specific high-risk situations, warning signs, and choice points. Then builds a written, rehearsed plan for each so the moment is not the first time you decide.

Substance use disorder counseling

A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.

Trauma-related counseling

A therapeutic approach included in this provider’s plan of care. Contact for specifics on how it shows up in their work.

12-step facilitation

Twelve-Step Facilitation. Helps you engage with mutual-aid fellowships (GA, AA, SMART) as a recovery community rather than a solo grind.
