About Consejo Counseling and Referral Service South Park
Consejo Counseling and Referral Service provides trauma focused outpatient treatment for adults and adolescents affected by substance use disorder in Seattle, Washington. Trauma focused addiction therapy acknowledges your past trauma and how it may impact your behavioral challenges. Treatment is provided in a manner that’s sensitive to such traumatic experiences. The goal is to provide an environment where you feel seen and understood.
They also prioritize personalized treatment that promotes wellness and recovery in every aspect of your life. Their outpatient treatment begins with screening and evaluation/assessment to assess your needs and craft personalized treatment plans. Screening encompassed urinalysis testing to support diagnosis and treatment.
This is followed by family, individual and group therapy that uses evidence based models like cognitive behavioral therapy to support recovery. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors linked to trauma. It focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions to tackle the trauma related symptoms contributing to your substance misuse.
Individual therapy makes it easier to root out such thoughts and emotions and tackle them squarely with support from a skilled therapist. Group therapy inspires peer interaction, connection and sharing of experiences between you and others. This can encourage healthy relationships and boost your self confidence. You may even gain interpersonal skills like effective communication, anger management and decision-making.
These skills encourage a sober lifestyle that prevents relapse. I like how their family therapy strengthens your sober support network by helping mend relationships and improve communication with your loved ones. The program incorporates social and recreational therapy. This promotes social integration and helps practice new skills and find healthy ways to relax and unwind. They also offer wellness programs and access to natural health services.
Part of what makes this program exciting is the telemedicine or telehealth support. This ensures you can access addiction therapy in the comfort of your home. Folks attending in person appointments can benefit from their transportation services. That way, you’ll never miss an appointment.
The recovery program is complemented with case management services. This involves care coordination, system navigation and connection to community resources like housing and employment support. They even provide ongoing support to maintain sobriety. Their comprehensive outpatient services include DUI assessment, court mandated treatment and drug court/family treatment.
