Admitting you have a problem and seeking help are the first steps in your recovery journey. There are more, and having the right treatment plan can make a difference as you work through them. There is a lot of information to try to work through, and it can seem discouraging when you are going about it alone. However, with Next Level Recovery, you are never alone.

Types of Treatment

When you seek help for substance use disorder (SUD), various treatment types are available to you, including the following.

Inpatient Treatment

The core components of inpatient treatment include: 

• You are a resident in your treatment facility

• Provides round-the-clock care

• You have others to hold you accountable for your sobriety at all times

• Usually meant for more serious cases that need more intense treatment

• More costly

Outpatient Treatment

In outpatient treatment:

• You live at home and commute to your treatment sessions

• You have to hold yourself responsible for your actions and maintain your sobriety

• Cheaper than inpatient

• Suitable for less severe cases of SUD

Types of Therapy

In treatment, you will also encounter various types of therapy. The therapies you utilize in your treatment and recovery journey should fit your unique needs as an individual. The following therapies are common therapies used in treatment.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one, or individual therapy, is another option available to you. In individual therapy, you and a therapist, counselor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional work together to change your behavior or thought process. This gives you one-on-one time to work through what you need to.

Group Therapy

This type of therapy is used in treatment centers across the country. In group therapy, you, others who usually have the same or similar mental health disorder as you, and a mental health professional get together to share and show support. During these sessions, you can hear the experiences of others with the same condition as you, showing you that you are not alone.

Family Group Therapy

In family group therapy, you, your family and friends, and a mental health professional get together to work through problems and concerns. This gives you a safe and mediated way to express your feelings to your loved ones. It also allows them the opportunity to share with you how they have been feeling. Family group therapy can help clear the air and lay the foundation for rebuilding these relationships you thought you lost.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is also known as talk therapy. The most common form of psychotherapy is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This therapy works to uncover your current thoughts and reasoning behind your behavior and change the false or negative beliefs. It is thought that our belief in something or behind an action can change our outlook on it.

Alternative Therapies

There are various types of alternative therapies, including the following.

Meditation and Mindfulness 

Meditation is centering oneself through a mantra, breathing techniques, or visualization. Mindfulness is a form of meditation that focuses on the present without bias. These techniques can regulate emotions, provide a calming effect, and allow you to process situations better to choose an appropriate response.

Music Therapy

This therapy has been seen to help with pain, depression, stress, and anxiety. Music therapy can also help you to control your emotions and provide solitude for you to turn to.

Physical Activity

Exercise can provide an outlet for your emotions, give you something to look forward to, and be something to focus on. Some physical activities you can incorporate into your daily life include:

• Yoga

• Hiking

• Running

• Weightlifting

• Kickboxing

• Soccer

• Fishing

• Rock climbing

• Swimming

• Volleyball

• Kayaking
