Trauma Therapist
The therapist helps the patient get to the root cause of addictive behavior. At Williamsville, the different individual therapists are in contact with each other throughout the course of an individual’s gambling, drug, or alcoholic therapy. This constant communication allows therapists to help clients understand the root cause of issues in the shortest period of time.
Peer Support
Seeing others who have struggled through drug, gambling, or alcohol addiction and come out on the other side to live successfully in recovery provides hope and inspiration for those still trapped by addiction. Seeing that you can recover after gambling, drug, or alcohol abuse is a powerful motivator and a beacon of hope for our patients.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is employed to help the individual identify causes of their alcohol addiction. Our art therapisthelps guide patients as they express themselves and provides interpretation and advice based on the results.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is used to help patients break dependency both short and long term. Hypnosis helps to reduce barriers so that the patient can explore conflicts that he has suppressed for many years. For a longtime drug user, gambler, or alcoholic, therapy like this can often reveal traumas that have been repressed on a very deep level.
Family Therapy
Drug, gambling, and alcohol addiction impacts the entire family. We’ll help your loved ones understand the cycle of addiction, show them how they can help you while you recover, and create an ongoing action plan for healing.
Coping Therapy
Coping therapy employs techniques which guide clients to bypass their limited, addictive thinking patterns and access positive internal resources. Clients are empowered to make healthy new choices which facilitate success in their recoveries.
Relationship Therapy
Relationship Therapy cultivates the client’s awareness of his or her patterns in intimate relationships, with an emphasis on the dynamics that fuel the addiction process. With or without the presence of a partner in therapy, clients begin the process of transforming their interpersonal dynamics to support their emotional well-being, a fundamental part of recovery.
An Addictionologist
Having an addictionologist, available to assist patients helps provide appropriate therapy and assists recovery through pharmacological means as needed.
