Treatment Module

There are many addictive substances, and treatments for specific substances can differ. Treatment also varies depending on the characteristics of the client.
Problems associated with an individual's drug/alcohol addiction can vary significantly. People who are addicted to substances come from all walks of life. Many suffer from mental health, occupational, health, or social problems that make their addictive disorders much more difficult to treat. Even if there are few associated problems, the severity of addiction itself ranges widely among people.
Resurgence provides a combination of therapies and other services to meet the needs of the individual client, which are shaped by such issues as age, race, culture, sexual orientation, gender, pregnancy, parenting, housing, and employment, as well as physical and sexual abuse.

Components of Treatment

The Resurgence treatment programs provide a combination of therapies and other services to meet the needs of the individual client.

Some of the therapies incorporated in the treatment module are briefly explained below.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral coping skills treatment (CBT) is a focused approach to helping substance-dependent individuals become abstinent from Alcohol and other substances. The underlying assumption is that learning processes play an important role in the development and continuation of substance abuse and dependence. These same learning processes can be used to help individuals abstain from their substance use.
Very simply put, CBT attempts to help clients recognize, avoid, and cope. That is, RECOGNIZE the situations in which they are most likely to use substance, AVOID these situations when appropriate, and COPE more effectively with a range of problems and problematic behaviors associated with substance abuse.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is based on three basic principles. The first is that family members are interdependent: What affects one family member affects other family members. According to family systems theory, the substance-using individual is a family member who displays symptoms, including substance use and related co-occurring problem behaviors. These symptoms are indicative, at least in part, of what else is going on in the family system. Just as important, research shows that families are the strongest and most enduring force in the development of children and adolescents.
The second principle is that the patterns of interaction in the family influence the behavior of each family member. Patterns of interaction are defined as the sequential behaviors among family members that become habitual and repeat over time. An example of this is an adolescent who attracts attention to herself when her two caregivers (e.g., her mother and grandmother) are fighting as a way to disrupt the fight. In extreme cases, the adolescent may suffer a drug overdose or get arrested to attract attention to herself when her mother and grandmother are having a very serious fight.
Therefore, the third principle is to plan interventions that carefully target and provide practical ways to change those patterns of interaction (e.g., the way in which mother and grandmother attempt but fail to establish rules and consequences) that are directly linked to the adolescent's drug use and other problem behaviors.

Individualized Addiction Counseling

Individualized addiction counseling focuses directly on stopping the client's substance use. It also addresses related areas of impaired functioning such as employment status, illegal activity, family/social relations as well as the content and structure of the client's recovery program. Through its emphasis on short-term behavioral goals, individualized addiction counseling helps the client develop coping strategies and tools for abstaining from drug use and then maintaining abstinence.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy

is a client-centered counseling approach for initiating behavior change by helping clients to resolve ambivalence about engaging in treatment and stopping drug use. This approach employs strategies to evoke rapid and internally motivated change in the client. Motivational interviewing principles are used to strengthen motivation and build a plan for change. Coping strategies for high-risk situations are suggested and discussed with the client.
Apart from the ones explained above, other therapies are also practiced based on clients needs.
