Mental Health Treatment in North Carolina

We believe in using proven, evidence-based therapies to help individuals overcome addiction and mental health challenges. Our approach combines science-backed methods with compassionate care, ensuring that each client receives the most effective treatment for their unique needs. Here are some of the key evidence-based therapies we offer:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – CBT is one of the most widely used therapies for treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. It helps individuals identify negative thought patterns and behaviors, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and build resilience to prevent relapse.
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – DBT is particularly effective for clients who struggle with intense emotions or co-occurring mental health issues like borderline personality disorder. Through DBT, clients learn skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, helping them manage triggers and develop a balanced approach to life.
• Motivational Interviewing (MI) – This client-centered approach encourages individuals to find their own motivation for change. MI empowers clients to explore their goals and values, fostering a strong internal commitment to recovery and sustainable life changes.
• Trauma-Informed Therapy – For individuals who have experienced trauma, our trauma-informed approach ensures that care is sensitive, respectful, and supportive. This therapy helps clients address past traumas, reduce triggers, and build a foundation for healing without re-traumatization.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) – For those struggling with opioid or alcohol dependence, MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT helps manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms, supporting clients as they stabilize and engage more fully in recovery.
• Family Therapy – Addiction and mental health challenges affect not only the individual but also their loved ones. Our family therapy sessions involve family members in the recovery process, helping to rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a supportive home environment.
• Mindfulness and Relapse Prevention – Mindfulness-based therapies teach clients to stay present and manage stress effectively. These practices are essential in relapse prevention, helping individuals identify and cope with triggers before they escalate.
• Group Therapy – Group sessions offer peer support and allow clients to share their experiences, gain insights, and build a sense of community. Group therapy is a powerful tool for healing, as clients find connection and encouragement from others who understand their journey.
