The Power of Individual Therapy in Addiction Recovery
Building a Strong Therapeutic Relationship
Individual therapy is a place where you develop trust, empathy, collaboration, and mutual respect between you and your therapist. Growing this relationship while still maintaining ethical and professional boundaries helps you build key communication skills as well as grow in your recovery journey. In therapy sessions, you grow trust and find support in your relationship with your therapist.
Addressing Underlying Causes of Addiction
Trauma or mental health complications often co-exist with addiction, so it is important to acknowledge and heal from these conditions as well. We work with you at Red Rock Recovery Center to heal from underlying causes of addiction using trauma-informed care to help with root causes, like family relationships or unresolved grief/loss. Here, the whole-person approach is in full effect to ensure you heal in all areas of life and promote long-term, sustainable recovery.
Developing Personalized Treatment Plans
Your treatment plan at Red Rock Recovery Center is entirely personalized to meet your needs. Individual therapy, especially, is a place where you and your therapist dive deeper into your personal growth and journey. You are not just another client or just your disorder; you have a unique and important place in the Red Rock Recovery Center community.

Therapeutic Approaches Used at Red Rock Recovery
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you to address your negative thoughts and emotional patterns and recognize the correlation between those and your destructive behaviors and addiction. You learn that you do not need to be controlled by these negative feelings, but rather, you can let these pass by and turn to helpful behaviors instead.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is rooted in CBT but emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. This therapy is most helpful for those coping with co-occurring disorders, personality mental health disorders, or severe addictions that bring on intense and overwhelming feelings.
Motivational Interviewing
This client-centered therapy works on your communication skills and ability to turn inward for motivation in addiction and mental health recovery. You learn to communicate ways of healing that feel right for your journey, recognize you have the power to direct your recovery, and foster support in the process.
Family Therapy and Couples Counseling
It is important to heal relationships with others in your life to grow as well as build support you can lean on in times of need post-treatment. Your loved ones will be in consistent contact with Red Rock Recovery Center, assuring them that you are safe and progressing. You will also join them in therapy sessions to develop vulnerable communication and mutual support.
The Importance of the Therapeutic Relationship
Building Trust and Rapport
Your relationships with others are an important piece of the recovery puzzle. Over time, you and your therapist create a trustworthy bond that will lead to further growth and development in your recovery journey. With peers in recovery, you build relationships rooted in community and support to motivate you.
Open Communication and Collaboration
Communication skills are necessary for recovery, and Red Rock Recovery Center works to create a safe space where you feel welcome to talk about your experiences, feelings and needs with a certified therapist.
