Individual Therapy
Addiction is a long and complicated road that controls an individuals mind, body and soul. A patient needs to begin their recovery process through individual therapy in order to completely understand and control the abuse in itself. Since there are many different factors that are related to each individual's addiction, having a one on one session to conquer all problems that contributed to their addiction is necessary when trying to overcome ones addiction. With the professional help and clinical care at Unity Recovery Center each individual will be able to fully grasp their addiction and be on their way to a healthy recovery.
In individual therapy, our main focus is to resolve the addiction issues that have brought you to rehab in the first place and help you reestablish your life, healthy and sober. It is important that are our patients are able to identify the goals they would like to accomplish in our therapy programs and for us to teach them the methods to do so. Individual therapy is the perfect opportunity for our patients to discuss their needs and concerns in an environment completely free of judgment and allows our counselors and therapists the ability to give each patient issues their undivided attention.

There are many advantages to adding individual therapy into a patient’s treatment program while in rehab. For one, no one except the therapist will know your secrets. Another important advantage is that meeting one-on-one gives a therapist to ability to spend more time handling your particular problem and can better delve deeper into your issues, than with group therapy. This gives them a chance to discover the “root” of a patient’s addiction and to focus on that issue, so that drug or alcohol abuse can be avoided in the future.
