Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a tool used to help people struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders communicate their thoughts and feelings about their addiction and coexisting conditions more freely.

The Raleigh House offers a broad spectrum of therapeutic interventions that address the different psychological and environmental factors contributing to addiction. We realize that there is no single treatment modality that will deliver the desired outcomes for every client. However, our customized approach gives clients the resources, support, and education to better manage their addiction and causal disorders.

What is Experiential Therapy?

Experiential therapy is a treatment strategy that helps people address their addictions and mental health challenges by performing meaningful tasks. Clients who have experienced past trauma can be reluctant to speak in a standard one-on-one counseling session or a group therapy environment. Experiential therapies support addiction treatment protocols by using nontraditional settings to help traumatized clients confront coexisting concerns.

Experiential therapy is particularly effective when it is performed in comfortable, familiar settings for the client. The sessions are designed to facilitate the exploration of difficult feelings while providing an outlet that enables their continued participation, even while addressing challenging issues and past traumas. The focus is on building enhanced self-awareness, so that the client can recognize and access the source of emotions that trigger substance misuse.
