With such a wide range of different treatment offerings, our team can help you reap several benefits. Not only do our outpatient programs teach you to overcome the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, but they also help you to build a new life moving forward.
We don’t just treat individuals as a box to check, helping them get over physical addiction in just a few weeks and sending them on their way.
We treat each individual as someone deserving of a healthy, rewarding life.
For some clients, there might be suppressed emotions or past incidents that have contributed to addiction. There might be poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness, and a lack of support in their current environment.
That’s why we offer experiential therapy and trauma-informed therapy in addition to our individual and group sessions. These types of modalities are there to help people recognize those past incidents or suppressed emotions through things like trauma-informed individual sessions or group experiential sessions.
This brings several benefits.
When individuals struggle with addiction, their entire focus is centered on substance use. It is not uncommon for people to struggle with a complete lack of awareness of anything else in their lives, whether it’s friends, family, personal relationships, work responsibilities, image, finances, or other areas.
With our Drug Rehab Malden, MA, clients get the opportunity to become more self-aware of their personal needs, emotions, and desires.
This is a cornerstone for better handling problems in a healthy fashion.
We also want our clients to develop healthier relationships with their families, their partners, and their friends. Addictive behaviors can negatively impact communication and connection with others, making it harder to communicate, but the right type of therapy can overcome that.
When individuals struggle with addiction, that lack of self-awareness, that focus on nothing but substance abuse, and making difficult emotions go away can lead to destructive behavior. Sometimes that destructive behavior is avoiding how you really feel, choosing not to solve problems, and instead letting things happen even if they aren’t good things.
At East Coast Recovery, we aim to help each client be more constructive and more proactive in their problem-solving instead of reactive. We achieve this with better coping skills so that when difficult situations arise in the future, each client can better understand the impact of their choices, what the consequences might be, and make healthy decisions.
Let’s consider an example of all of these:
Megan comes home after a full day of work. The house is a mess, the kids haven’t done their homework, and her boyfriend says he hasn’t made dinner yet, so maybe they should just go out. Megan immediately becomes overwhelmed and shuts down.
The family goes out, and Megan orders four drinks during dinner. She comes home and tries to help the kids do their homework until late at night, but keeps stepping away to take another drink in the kitchen. Then she starts cleaning. As she cleans, she is angry, so she keeps drinking and drinking more until she passes out.
Without the right type of drug rehab, Megan might never learn to sit with those difficult emotions or express herself more effectively to her family, establishing her needs and the roles within the family unit. Instead, she might continue to use alcohol instead of building healthy coping skills.
Now consider this example:
Megan comes home after a full day of work. The house is a mess, the kids haven’t done their homework, and her boyfriend says he hasn’t made dinner yet, so maybe they should just go out. Megan immediately becomes overwhelmed and shuts down.
But then Megan remembers what she learned in therapy that morning. She remembered that it’s important to be proactive, to think about how her choices would impact herself and those around her:
Then Megan remembers self-awareness:
While at dinner, Megan takes a few minutes to focus on her breathing, to sit with her emotions, and figure out what it is she is feeling.
Finally, Megan remembers the importance of nurturing relationships:
She tells her boyfriend that she is very overwhelmed because he was home all day with the kids and should have helped them with their homework, at least picked up the house, and started on dinner.
At the center of her frustration was much less the state of the house and more the fact that they had budgeted very carefully, so not planning ahead and using the food they had in the pantry meant that they were now spending money they didn’t have going out to get fast food.
Her boyfriend recognized the importance of sticking to the budget and apologized. He even suggested he pick up an extra shift this month to compensate. Megan then told her children that they need to be more responsible because the family works as a team, and just like their football team at school, the kids needed to do their part, and that meant each of them doing their chores and doing their homework or at least trying to do their homework for the first hour after they get home from school everyday.
In this second example, Megan is able to communicate more effectively with all of her family members, establish the needs within the family, and use healthy coping skills instead of turning to drugs and alcohol to numb her emotions.
Like Megan, at East Coast Recovery, we want all of our clients to be able to build that self-awareness, nurture healthy relationships, and be proactive.
