We offer specialized therapy programs designed to make every client feel seen, heard, and respected regardless of lifestyle, past actions, and level of dependency.

The multi-disciplinary specialists at The Raleigh House provide clients with the tools and resources they need to both understand the core causes of their substance dependency and continue their recovery outside of the rehabilitation center.

As a specialized treatment center, The Raleigh House offers a plurality of therapeutic interventions to uncover the core issues behind addictive behaviors. The road will be long, but we’ll help you find your path.

What Is Specialized Therapy?

Specialized therapy services give clients a structured environment to recognize and address the coexisting mental health conditions and contexts contributing to their substance misuse. The programs target specific areas and provide a safe space to explore the underlying emotions and responses that might arise.

For people seeking specialized trauma therapy, we offer treatments designed to help people recognize how past and ongoing traumas intersect with unhealthy behavior patterns.

Types of Specialized Therapy Services

We provide the following programs:

• Animal-Assisted Therapy
  Animal-human interaction has a long history of use as a mechanism for physical and emotional healing. The Raleigh House offers equine-assisted psychotherapy as a support strategy to build confidence, achieve greater self-awareness, and facilitate empathetic relationships. Equine-assisted psychotherapy is used successfully in conjunction with other treatments, most notably cognitive-behavioral therapy.

• ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)
  Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an intensive therapeutic intervention that can yield positive outcomes in as few as five sessions. It can effectively reprogram the way the brain processes traumatic memories, helping clients address past traumas quickly and successfully without re-traumatization.

• Art Therapy|
  Art therapy is a supplementary treatment option for clients who might not be comfortable articulating their challenges directly in a group or one-on-one setting. This treatment protocol supports self-expression through non-verbal communication (creating either visual art or music) and discussing and interpreting different works of art in therapist-guided sessions.

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
  Specialized trauma therapy empowers people with the tools and coping mechanisms necessary to recognize and overcome destructive and self-harming impulses. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an approach that helps clients adjust their thoughts and feelings by addressing and eventually changing their thoughts and behaviors.

• Dual Diagnosis
  Dual diagnosis is the coexistence of substance dependency and mental health disorders. Dual diagnosis treatment involves targeted addiction intervention with therapies that identify and address the co-occurring disorder or disorders.

• Experiential Therapy
  Experiential therapies are nontraditional treatments that incorporate structured recreational activities into recovery. These activities may include yoga, art therapy, rock climbing, and animal-assisted therapy. These are designed to allow clients to process difficult emotions productively.

• Family Systems Therapy
  At The Raleigh House, our specialized therapy services aim to connect people to the treatment strategies that give them the best chances for long-term success. Allowing families to participate in treatment helps them understand the nature of addiction and how it affects relationships. Moreover, family systems therapy offers support sessions that give loved ones a safe space to articulate their feelings about addiction. During family education, family therapy, and marital therapy sessions, family members learn how to facilitate their loved one’s healing while protecting their well-being.

• Medication-Assisted Treatment
  Along with counseling and behavioral therapies, The Raleigh House incorporates medication-assisted treatment (MAT) that includes the use of medications to treat substance use disorders. MAT has been shown to successfully treat people struggling with addiction, sustain recovery, and prevent or reduce overdose.

• Motivational Interviewing
  Not everyone with a substance dependency recognizes the debilitating effects of their addiction on either their own lives or the lives of their families. Motivational interviewing is a tool to help ambivalent or reluctant clients see the connection between their substance use and their diminished physical and emotional health. This approach encourages clients to seek further treatment and gives them the support and resources to make informed choices about addressing their substance use.

• Rock Climbing Therapy
  Rock climbing therapy is a nontraditional, experiential therapy that integrates coordinated physical exertion into targeted, evidence-based treatment. It allows clients to learn a new skill, challenge themselves, and improve their cardiovascular and muscular strength. Moreover, rock climbing therapy — also called bouldering psychotherapy — has demonstrated effectiveness in treating symptoms of depression.

• Yoga & Meditation
  There is a substantial body of evidence suggesting that practicing yoga can be an effective tool for managing various addiction disorders. Yoga and mindful meditation help facilitate relaxation and stress reduction, reducing the urge to reuse and providing practical strategies for managing emotional triggers.

• 12-Step Meetings
  The 12-step program model has been a recognized substance use disorder treatment for decades. This offers clients the opportunity to connect with other people struggling with dependency, build support networks that help them address triggers, and provide intervention after substance reuse. We also offer alternatives to the 12-step model, including Dharma therapy, group therapy sessions in inpatient and outpatient settings, experiential therapy, and much more.
