At AM Behavioral Health, our PHP for substance abuse offers a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatments and therapies to support the recovery journey.
Some of the treatments and therapies you can expect to receive during your time in our PHP include:
Through psychotherapy, you will gain insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and learn healthier ways of coping with them.
CBT addresses the interconnectedness of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps you identify and challenge negative thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic and positive ones.
For example, if you have a thought like, “I can’t handle my cravings without using drugs,” CBT can help you challenge that thought and replace it with a more helpful one, such as, “I have successfully coped with cravings before and I can do it again.”
Your therapist will also work with you to develop strategies for managing difficult emotions and avoiding triggers that may lead to substance use.

In subsequent sessions, your therapist will work with you to increase motivation and develop a specific plan of action to achieve your goals.
MI is a collaborative and goal-oriented therapy that helps you explore your intrinsic motivation to change. Your therapist will work with you to identify what motivates you and how to use it to achieve your goals.
MI is considered a person-centered therapy, as it puts you at the center of your own recovery process. It is based on the premise that you are capable of changing and making choices that lead to positive outcomes.
Your therapist will guide you through the exploration and resolution of ambivalence, empowering you to make informed decisions about your substance use.
Medication management involves the prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting of medications to improve your symptoms and support your recovery.

Combined with therapy, medication management can significantly improve your chances of successful recovery.
It is important to note that medication should not be seen as a cure for a substance use disorder. It is most effective when used in combination with other forms of treatment and a supportive recovery environment.
During medication management, your doctor will work with you to find the right type and dosage of medication that works best for you. They will also monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed.
