At The Raleigh House, we understand that addiction impacts every part of a person’s life—mind, body, and spirit. That’s why our comprehensive treatment approach integrates evidence-based therapies and experiential treatments. This balanced strategy ensures our clients receive personalized care that addresses the root causes of substance use and supports long-term recovery.

What Is Evidence-Based Treatment for Addiction?
Evidence-based treatments are scientifically researched and proven to be effective in helping individuals recover from substance use disorders. These therapies are recognized by leaders of addiction treatment, backed by research organizations, and have consistently shown positive outcomes across various environments.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT):
- Buprenorphine: Reduces withdrawal symptoms with a low risk of overdose.
- Methadone: Prevents withdrawal symptoms and blocks the effects of illicit opioids.
- Suboxone (Buprenorphine and Naloxone): Blocks opioid effects and reduces emotional distress during recovery.
- Naltrexone: Diminishes cravings for opioids and alcohol by blocking the brain’s reward response.
- Acamprosate: Eases alcohol withdrawal symptoms like insomnia and anxiety.
- Disulfiram: Creates unpleasant reactions to alcohol consumption, supporting sobriety in motivated clients.
Behavioral Therapies:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Teaches clients to recognize and change negative thinking patterns and behaviors.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Focuses on emotional regulation and building coping skills.
- Family Behavior Therapy: Strengthens family dynamics to create a supportive recovery environment.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A neurobiological approach that reshapes the brain and body’s response to trauma by altering the connection between triggers and traumatic memories. Using bilateral stimulation, this method helps desensitize trauma triggers while guiding clients to recognize how early life experiences have shaped maladaptive coping patterns in adulthood. Endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and Department of Defense (DOD), this evidence-based therapy is widely recognized for its effectiveness in trauma recovery.
- Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps clients identify, challenge, and reframe unhelpful beliefs related to trauma. By reshaping their understanding of the traumatic event, clients can reduce its ongoing negative impact, gain a healthier perspective, and regain control over their present and future.
What Is Experiential Therapy for Addiction?
Experiential therapies provide hands-on, engaging activities that allow clients to process emotions and trauma without relying solely on verbal communication. These therapies support emotional healing and personal growth, complementing evidence-based treatments.
Experiential Therapy Options at The Raleigh House:
At The Raleigh House, we incorporate a range of experiential therapies designed to support healing, promote emotional resilience, and enhance overall well-being. These therapies go beyond traditional talk therapy, engaging the mind and body in recovery.
- Infrared Sauna Therapy – Supports detoxification, improves heart health, reduces chronic pain, eases anxiety and depression, promotes better sleep, and helps regulate oxidative stress.
- Halo Therapy (Salt Therapy) – Involves breathing in micro-particles of salt to reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, improve respiratory function, and aid in recovery from smoking-related breathing issues and allergies.
- Vibroacoustic Therapy – Uses sound vibrations to lower heart rate and blood pressure, improve circulation, ease physical tension, regulate mood, and enhance sleep quality.
- Equine Therapy – Encourages emotional insight, personal responsibility, and self-awareness through therapeutic interactions with horses.
- Rock Climbing – Builds confidence, resilience, and physical strength while reinforcing problem-solving skills and trust.
- Expressive Digital Imagery (EDI) – A cutting-edge visual therapy used in major hospitals across the U.S., allowing clients to express complex emotions when words fall short. The Raleigh House is the only certified provider of EDI in Denver.
- Auricular Acupuncture – A specialized five-point acupuncture technique administered in the ear to reduce post-acute withdrawal symptoms, agitation, cravings, insomnia, and stress.
Our experiential therapies provide clients with meaningful, hands-on ways to process emotions, reduce stress, and support long-term recovery.
The East-to-West Approach to Addiction Treatment
At The Raleigh House, our addiction treatment and recovery approach integrates both Western medicine and Eastern healing modalities, providing a comprehensive path to lasting recovery.
With our “east to west” take on addiction rehab, your loved one will experience a variety of treatments that target the changes triggered in the brain by addiction and aid different aspects of your loved one’s well-being.
For example, MAT is an evidence-based treatment we leverage post-detox to aid treatment and recovery. Rock climbing will be built into their daily schedules in treatment to help strengthen their body and mind and improve their self-worth and confidence. Equine therapy will offer them a unique experience to process their emotions and behaviors, which they’ll then be able to discuss in their individual and group therapy sessions.
These different treatments and therapies combined will help to heal and strengthen your loved one’s body, improve their mental health, and set them up for long-term success in addiction recovery.
