Types of Therapy at 12 South Recovery

Breaking free from addiction takes time and effort—it doesn’t happen overnight. Even after detox, there’s still important work to do, like managing cravings, building healthier habits, and learning how to prevent relapse. Recovery is a process, and having the right support makes all the difference.

For many people, therapy with a licensed therapist is a crucial component in successfully addressing addiction and mental health issues. Particularly in instances of co-occurring diagnoses, therapy has proved to be essential in achieving lasting results.

At 12 South Recovery, we’ve made therapy an integral part of our treatment plans and offer a variety of modalities tailored to the needs of each client.

Below, you’ll find some of the therapy options we currently offer. Select a therapy to learn more.

One-On-One Therapy

Individual therapy plays a crucial role in both addiction and mental health treatment. At 12 South Recovery, each client is paired with a dedicated, licensed therapist who provides personalized support in a private setting. These one-on-one sessions allow clients to explore their personal struggles, develop coping strategies, and work toward their recovery goals at their own pace. Through guided discussions, therapists help clients process emotions, address behavioral patterns, and build a strong foundation for long-term healing.

CBT Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based approach that helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to addiction and mental health disorders. CBT focuses on developing healthier coping mechanisms, improving emotional regulation, and reshaping harmful beliefs. Research shows that CBT can be as effective as medication for conditions like depression and anxiety, making it a valuable tool in addiction recovery and mental health treatment.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR therapy was originally developed to help individuals process trauma and reduce the distress associated with past experiences. It is now widely used in addiction and mental health treatment to help clients work through unresolved emotional pain, PTSD, and other trauma-related conditions. EMDR uses guided eye movements to help reprocess traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact, making it easier for clients to move forward without being overwhelmed by past experiences.

DBT Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, or co-occurring mental health disorders. This therapy teaches clients how to manage stress, build stronger relationships, and stay present in the moment, ultimately improving their ability to handle challenges without turning to substances.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides a supportive and structured environment where clients can connect with others facing similar challenges. Led by licensed therapists or drug counselors, these sessions offer a space to share experiences, develop communication skills, and receive peer support. Group therapy may focus on a variety of topics, including relapse prevention, emotional processing, and skill-building exercises. Engaging in group discussions helps clients gain new perspectives, build confidence, and feel less isolated in their recovery journey.

Holistic Therapies

Holistic therapies are designed to complement traditional treatments by addressing the mind, body, and spirit. At 12 South Recovery, we incorporate yoga, massage therapy, acupuncture, gym facilities, art therapy, and mindfulness practices to promote overall well-being. These therapies help reduce stress, improve physical health, and encourage self-expression, providing additional support for clients in recovery. By integrating holistic approaches, we create a well-rounded treatment experience that enhances emotional and physical healing.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention is a key component of long-term recovery, equipping clients with the skills needed to recognize and manage triggers before they lead to substance use. At 12 South Recovery, our relapse prevention program helps clients identify high-risk situations, develop personalized coping strategies, and build a strong support system. Through education, therapy, and behavioral training, clients learn how to handle stress, avoid temptation, and maintain their commitment to sobriety. Relapse prevention ensures that individuals are prepared to navigate life’s challenges without turning back to addiction.

Comprehensive Therapy and Personalized Care at 12 South Recovery

At 12 South Recovery, we prioritize helping clients get the therapy they need to successfully recover from an addiction. Our goal is to provide compassionate care that treats the whole person, so we conduct comprehensive evaluations with all clients at the time of admission. Our admissions process is simple and seamless, helping clients begin their treatment quickly and get the care they need as soon as possible. We also provide flexible care levels, allowing each client to get the appropriate level of care for their specific needs at each stage of recovery.

Upon admission, each client is assigned a personal therapist and receives regular one-on-one therapy sessions in a private setting. Combined with group therapy, these individualized sessions enable our therapists to gain a complete understanding of what each patient needs and continue to track progress. Over time, clients gain a firm grasp of the factors that led to their substance abuse and learn coping mechanisms to deal with the inevitable triggers that may have led them to turn to substances in the past.

12 South Recovery also accepts most major health insurance, making it easy for clients to get the care they need without worrying about paying out of pocket. We are dedicated to providing the latest treatment options for clients at every level of recovery and designing programs that use evidence-based treatment practices.
