Meditation Groups

Many individuals facing mental health challenges and addiction often grapple with a sense of powerlessness when overwhelmed by emotions. Overanalyzing thoughts can lead individuals into dark mental spaces; meditation serves as a powerful tool to disrupt this cycle. With a myriad of meditation techniques available, our approachable team is here to assist you in discovering what resonates with you best.

Starting to meditate often starts with mindfulness. This involves staying in the present moment and creating distance between your emotions and behaviors — a challenging task, yet achievable with proper guidance and assistance.

Another way we can help you learn how to stay grounded and self-soothe in the face of overwhelming feelings is through breath work. When emotions run high, it’s common for people to hyperventilate or take short, shallow breaths. By learning how to regulate your breathing, you can gain more control over your thoughts and feelings.   

Life Skills Groups

Mental disorders and substance abuse stem from a complex blend of genetics, life events, and societal factors. While not universal, many individuals can struggle with life skills due to their mental health issues.

Fortunately, it is feasible to reshape your mindset through acquiring new skills and addressing gaps from your upbringing. Our thought processes and communication with ourselves and others greatly influence our encounters and responses. Additionally, lacking comprehension or the vocabulary to express emotions or needs can lead to significant frustration — often without full awareness of its source.

Psychoeducational Groups

We also conduct psychoeducational classes. These classes educate you on the brain and body processes influencing mental health and substance use disorders, guiding you to a place of understanding. Remember, it’s not your fault, and you’re not alone—your symptoms stem from dysfunction, but there are numerous paths to self-healing available.

Health and Wellness

Our lifestyle significantly shapes our perception of the world. While a steadfast routine, balanced diet, consistent physical activity, and optimistic mindset may not cure mental health disorders or substance misuse, they can aid in symptom management and overall well-being.

Excessive consumption of processed foods and sugar can adversely affect mental health, whereas exercise stands out as a key method to enhance physical and mental endurance. One notable aspect of our programs is the emphasis on instilling structure in your life without imposing rigidity or constraints.

Process Groups

Process groups play a crucial role in therapy by imparting practical skills and aiding therapists in understanding your needs. By navigating challenges alongside others, you gain insights and experience the empowerment of voicing your truth. Hearing about others’ struggles offers new perspectives, enhancing self-awareness and nurturing empathy.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy, led by our qualified professionals, is a crucial component. Each week, residents engage in a minimum of two one-on-one therapy sessions with their primary therapist and at least one psychiatric session.

These sessions involve discussions on upbringing, life experiences, and goals, aiming to identify triggers and establish coping strategies with the support of a mental health professional.
