A man considers substance abuse treatmentsThere is no magic cure for substance abuse or addiction. Substance use disorders are complicated, multifaceted, and require physiological, emotional, and psychological support. Fortunately, at New Bridge Foundation®, individuals can take advantage of diverse programs and treatment methods. Here are just a few of the most effective substance abuse treatments individuals can expect on their personal journey to recovery.

Group Therapy

Substance abuse is isolating. Many individuals feel alone, and that even their loved ones do not fully understand. One of the answers to those feelings of isolation is group therapy.

In group therapy, individuals have the opportunity to open up and share past experiences. Additionally, group therapy is a fantastic way to strengthen social bonds and create meaningful, long-lasting and supportive friendships.

Family Education, Counseling, and Support

Addiction doesn’t exist in a vacuum and affects not only the addict but the entire family. Consequently, family members can benefit from learning more about substance use disorders and addiction. New Bridge Foundation®’s family program offers education, counseling, and ongoing support for family members.

Understanding the nature of addiction, its root causes, and the path to recovery can be empowering. Additionally, it is important to address the big changes sobriety brings, especially within the family unit.

Everyone in the family is seriously affected when loved ones struggle with substance abuse. Family counseling targets ongoing issues and resolves conflicts that might be standing in the way of recovery.

Holistic Therapy

Evidence-based, substance abuse treatments are the foundation of recovery. However, adding in holistic and alternative therapies can also enhance the recovery process.

Yoga, acupuncture, biofeedback, and mindfulness practices are wonderful methods that help relieve stress, tension, and can even help with cravings. When individuals relax, unwind, and remain present in the moment, they’re able to fully focus on recovery. Ultimately, these techniques can boost self-esteem and confidence as individuals begin feeling better.

Fitness Program

Fitness programs have countless benefits. Individuals who exercise regularly gain strength and improve mobility, maintain a healthy weight, and improve circulation. Not to mention, exercise enhances mood and releases endorphins. For these reasons, New Bridge Foundation® provides residents with both physical training and jogging opportunities as part of their schedule.

Relapse Prevention

Arguably the biggest threat to sobriety is relapsing and a big part of relapse prevention is receiving the right level of care. Our admissions department as well as our clinical staff assist individuals and families in determining the level of care needed. Whether it is short-term residential rehab, outpatient rehab, or long-term residential rehab, we will help find the program that is right for you.
