Evidence-Based treatment programs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a therapeutic technique that has proven effective in treating many mental disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, alcohol misuse, and acute psychological disorders. It is particularly useful in addiction treatment, as it has demonstrated effectiveness in organizing thoughts and regulating behaviors associated with cognitive distortions in thinking, thus addressing irrational thoughts and beliefs that distort the addict's perception of reality.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT
DBT is a comprehensive psychological treatment program that utilizes a cognitive-behavioral approach aimed at teaching individuals to reduce or modify intense emotions and improve their ability to regulate emotions and manage relationships effectively.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a therapeutic technique based on meditation, where the individual focuses on strong attention to what they feel and experience in the present moment without interpretation or judgment. It involves practices such as breathing exercises, guided imagery, and other techniques aimed at relaxing the body and mind, helping to reduce tension and override the automatic responses of the nervous system.
Art Therapy
A therapeutic approach that encourages patients to become aware of and express their emotions through creative artistic work, such as drawing or sculpting. The goal is to motivate the patient to gain control over their feelings and emotions.
The Matrix Model
An intensive therapy program designed to help individuals recover from drug addiction. It has been used in addiction rehabilitation programs for over 30 years. The program includes training individuals in practical skills to help them overcome substance abuse. Additionally, it focuses on enhancing social support and reducing the likelihood of relapse.
The 12-Step Program
The 12-Step Program is a set of spiritual principles and guidelines that aim to transform the lives of individuals struggling with addiction. Developed by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in the 1930s, the program has since been adapted for a wide range of addictions, including substance abuse, gambling, and compulsive behaviors.
