SearchEvidence-Based Therapies at Clearview Treatment Programs
At Clearview Treatment Programs, our goal is to ensure our clients thrive in their recoveries. In our programs for Women’s Mental Health, Addiction with Co-Occurring Mental Health, and Outpatient Treatment, client care is rooted in proven, evidence-based therapies.
We work with each client to create an individualized recovery plan that includes the specific therapies that best fit their needs and diagnoses. Our staff is extensively trained in all the therapies we offer, giving our clients the best chance at sustained recovery.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines the tenets of cognitive behavioral behavior therapy (CBT) with the centuries-old principles of Zen Buddhism to help clients better regulate their emotions as well as strengthen their interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance skills. DBT is incorporated throughout all our treatment programs via individual sessions with a DBT therapist as well as DBT skills group meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact with one another. Designed to break down destructive belief systems and intrusive thought cycles, CBT helps clients live in the present and be objective about the situations and motivations of others as well as of themselves. CBT is one of the core therapies used in individual and group sessions at Clearview.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is a type of therapy during which the therapist works with the client to combat their natural ambivalence towards change. Some people are resistant to the changes that are necessary to lead a healthier life. With motivational interviewing our therapists collaborate with clients, evoking their opinions on a particular situation while providing them a sense of autonomy in their healing process.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
During ACT, clients are challenged to confront uncomfortable emotions, work through them, and commit to the goals they’ve set for themselves. ACT demonstrates that a shift of perspective can change their outlook and, therefore, their reaction to a situation that otherwise couldn’t be changed. Used to treat a variety of emotional and mental health disorders, ACT helps adjust negative thought processes.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is used to teach clients to live in the present and to operate and react only to the information that their senses provide them with in the moment. Involving meditation and mindfulness activities, including enjoying mindful meals and mindful walks as well as in engaging in mindful listening, the goal is to have the client focus on the awareness of their senses in the present moment. Mindfulness is intended to provide a clear understanding of self, improve coping skills, and help open the mind to improve the client’s tolerance of situations and people.
Seeking Safety
Seeking safety is a model of therapy used to simultaneously treat post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma along with co-occurring substance abuse. Seeking safety therapy aims to help clients improve their coping abilities and emotional stability by helping them reclaim a safe place in relationships, thought processes, and resulting emotions. Seeking safety’s goal is to improve coping abilities and emotional stability.
