Individual Therapy as Part of Your Recovery Program

How Individual Therapy Works

Therapy is a vital part of the recovery process. Addiction doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s often tied to emotional pain, past trauma, or unhealthy coping mechanisms. Our licensed clinicians help you navigate these challenges in one-on-one therapy sessions, providing the tools and strategies needed for long-term change. Each session is personalized to your unique needs, helping you gain insight, improve emotional regulation, and build the resilience necessary for lasting sobriety.

What to Expect in Individual Therapy:

• Identifying Triggers – Understanding what drives cravings, stress, or emotional distress.
• Setting Achievable Goals – Creating clear, measurable steps toward recovery and personal growth.
• Developing Healthier Coping Mechanisms – Learning practical strategies to replace harmful habits with positive behaviors.

Therapeutic Approaches We Use

At Precision Recovery, we use evidence-based therapies to address addiction, trauma, and emotional challenges. Our therapists draw from different approaches to create a strategy that works for you. Each person’s recovery journey is different, which is why we use multiple approaches to provide the right level of support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you recognize negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive ones. Cognitive behavioral therapy exercises are an effective tool for managing cravings, anxiety, and emotional triggers.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Dialectical behavior therapy skills​ can be especially helpful for individuals who struggle with impulsivity or intense emotions.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI helps build internal motivation for change. Instead of pushing you toward recovery, this approach helps you discover your own reasons for making healthier choices.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

This therapy explores past experiences and unconscious patterns that may contribute to addiction. By understanding the root causes, you gain greater self-awareness and emotional growth.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT focuses on solutions rather than problems, helping you build practical steps toward recovery based on your strengths and past successes.

Somatic Experiencing Therapy

This body-focused therapy is used to process trauma. It helps release stored stress and tension that may be contributing to addiction or emotional distress.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

MBSR teaches mindfulness techniques that reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and increase self-awareness—key tools for maintaining sobriety.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT helps you accept difficult emotions instead of fighting them. It encourages taking meaningful action aligned with your values, even in the face of discomfort.

Who Can Benefit from Individual Therapy?

As part of Precision Recovery’s structured program, individual therapy helps you rebuild your life, strengthen emotional resilience, and address the deeper struggles that fuel substance use. Whether you’re in early recovery, dealing with past trauma, or struggling to manage stress, one-on-one therapy provides a safe and structured space to work through challenges. Individual therapy provides the guidance, accountability, and skills needed for long-term success.

Individual therapy is especially beneficial for:

• People in addiction recovery – Therapy helps manage cravings, prevent relapse, and develop healthier coping skills.
• Individuals facing legal consequences – If a felony DWI or other legal issue is tied to substance use, therapy can demonstrate commitment to personal change.
• Those struggling with mental health conditions – Anxiety, depression, and trauma often go hand in hand with addiction. Therapy helps address both.
• Anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed – Whether addiction has taken control of your life or you're just seeking emotional support, therapy offers tools to move forward.
