Addiction Therapy Programs

Addiction-Therapy-Programs-Addiction therapy programs are the foundation of our approach to addiction treatment. At TruHealing Riverbend, we offer a combination of evidence-based treatments and more holistic, client-centered approaches. The more clinical treatments aim at treating your addiction head-on, while the holistic methods can help you heal in every aspect of your life. What does that mean? As we provide you with the tools you need to overcome your addiction, we are also teaching you to use those tools. And these addiction treatment therapies are also the raw materials that we draw upon when we design your custom treatment plan, ensuring that you have the best chance at long-term recovery.

The outpatient programs at TruHealing Riverbend can help you heal from drug or alcohol addiction as well as co-occurring mental health disorders. Learn more about our addiction therapy programs in Jeffersonville, IN by connecting with our team at (855) 652-0546 today.

The Purpose of Addiction Therapy Programs

Why do we offer addiction therapy programs? At TruHealing Riverbend, we know that addiction treatment cannot be one-size-fits-all. Some of those who struggle with substance use disorders also face challenges with their mental health. Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD can make it even more difficult to overcome addiction. We offer a wide range of addiction therapy programs as part of our comprehensive treatment plans. In these programs, our clients learn more about the underlying causes of substance abuse, work through past trauma, and develop healthy coping skills for lifelong recovery.

Every individual who enters our care will receive an individualized treatment plan based on our holistic, multidisciplinary approach towards treatment. Our treatment plan is made up of effective, evidence-based therapeutic modalities administered to each individual based on their needs and strengths as they build towards long-term recovery. 

Every client participates in group therapy on a consistent basis. Throughout your time in our programs, you will be surrounded by individuals with similar problems, facing the same challenges, and seeking the same opportunities for change. You will be provided with not only the tools and skills to overcome your addiction but the knowledge and experience of how and when to use these tools on your way to long-term recovery.

Addiction Therapy Programs Offered at TruHealing Riverbend

In addition to group therapy, we offer the following in our treatment center:

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  • Trauma-Informed Therapy
  • Family Therapy
  • Group Therapy
  • Motivational Interviewing
  • Anger Management

In addition, we offer 12-step meetings and life skills training. These interventions help those in recovery build a network of support and also help our clients develop the skills they need as they return to everyday life.

We personalize our treatment plans for every client’s unique needs. When you arrive at TruHealing Riverbend, you’ll go through an assessment that will help our team understand which therapies will work best for you.

The Benefits of Therapy in Addiction Treatment

Addiction is not only a physical problem. Over time, substance abuse causes changes in the brain that make it difficult to stop using drugs or alcohol. In addition, many of those who struggle with addiction have experienced trauma or face mental health issues that can exacerbate substance abuse.

Therapy, both group and individual, can help those in recovery understand what might have contributed to addiction in the past. They’ll learn how to avoid potential triggers, work through negative emotions, and find support for lasting recovery.

Reach Out to TruHealing Riverbend Today

If you’re ready to reclaim your life and make a lasting change, reach out to TruHealing Riverbend. We offer treatment programs for substance abuse in Jeffersonville, IN that can help you work through the underlying causes of addiction and begin again.

CARLOS LOBATO
ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR

I have worked in recovery for almost two years now, and I am continuing my education so I can one day be a counselor for TruHealing Riverbend!
Working in recovery has taught me accountability and ambition. It has given me the opportunity to connect with individuals on a new level. I get the opportunity to educate people about recovery—and our program—to get them the help they need.
In my time off, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, watching tv, and cooking!
Carlos Lobato is the Admissions Director at TruHealing Riverbend.

As we continue to grow Amatus Health, the need to stay competitive and differentiate ourselves in unique ways is crucial. Building creative approaches to reach more people will take our company to new heights. This is why I am pleased to announce that we are officially rebranding. Our new national name, TruHealing Addiction & Mental Health Treatment, will eventually replace Amatus Recovery Centers.

You may be asking, “Why are we doing this?” This new name will give us national uniformity and help brand ourselves as a whole, which will be done in phases. You will still see our existing facility names co-branded with TruHealing for the time being.

Healing is what we do. Everyone who comes through our doors is in a moment of profound struggle in their lives. We support them through a life-changing process of healing and recovery, and they leave our facilities changed. This new name is a representation of that process. As mentioned above, it also allows us to have a national brand, which will make us a recognizable name in the addiction and mental health field.

In summation, these changes present an excellent opportunity for our organization to develop our mission, vision, and purpose. I look forward to prosperous growth as we head in a new and positive direction.

Sincerely,

Mark Gold
CEO
Amatus Health

Passions & interests: The greatest passion of mine is being able to dig into the work with men in early recovery. There is nothing better than witnessing and being a part of the change. My journey in long-term recovery has taught me to value the little things in life that I am now able to do. I love to do anything that allows me to be present with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and taking long motorcycle rides with our friends. If I am not on the road working or with my wife, I am studying or playing softball.

 

The best part of my job is being able to show up for my team and clients; they all mean the world to me. I get to brainstorm and strategize with tons of different personalities. A lot of the team does not know, but I love learning from them. If I am not learning something about our industry or workplace, I am certainly learning how to effectively collaborate with different types of individuals.

 

Together, we can change the narrative and be a part of the solution to better treat those trapped in the problem.
