Dialectical Behavior Therapy -
The DBT approach integrates concepts from Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) with the Eastern Wisdom Philosophy of Mindfulness. Another distinction from prior treatment methods is that instead of a short-term treatment approach, DBT’s approach requires therapists and clients to work together for at least a one year period. Over this period, clients are educated successively in 4 areas: Mindfulness – the core of DBT, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulations and Stress Tolerance. Based on the success that the DBT model has exhibited with borderline personality disorder, the model has been expanded to treat a variety of disorders including Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Substance Use Disorders and Co-Occurring Disorders – each of which are sometimes seen at Headrest.
Treatment Support Group* This is a 26-week program following up the IOP. Participants from the wider community with a period of sobriety are also encouraged to participate. The group provides added support for individuals as they confront new issues involving recovery. Trained facilitators provide counseling in a variety of skills building models.
