Addiction treatment reaches far beyond simple detox alone. Along with group therapy, individual (or interpersonal) therapy is used as an essential tool in treatment. In individual therapy sessions, clients would work one-on-one with a mental health professional to gain self-knowledge, addiction education, and improve their inner strength.
A client’s individual therapy sessions will be structured specifically for their needs. A session can touch on many subjects, but will mostly focus on the client’s current concerns. Clients and therapists will work together to establish goals for each session in a collaborative fashion. The therapist will work with the individual through the different stages of recovery using the approaches that work best for them.
