Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

The Lone Star State offers a host of options for those in search of an adult program in Texas. From inpatient to outpatient care, adults can find a program that meets their needs for effective treatment of substance use issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The goals of cognitive behavioral therapy in Texas include evaluating thoughts and changing thinking patterns that are leading to substance use. This treatment helps participants understand their motives and problem-solve to work through challenges without the use of substances.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is an evidence-based complementary approach to addiction treatment in which clients enter an induced state of deep relaxation. Once the client has entered this hypnotic state, the hypnotherapist uses various techniques, including guided imagery and positive affirmations, to help clients “unlearn” negative behaviors, such as substance misuse, and adopt healthy ones. The approach supports clients’ long-term mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing and reduces their risk of relapse by tapping into the power of the subconscious mind.
