Treating the Individual and Not the Disorder

The entire staff at Pinelands Recovery Center of Medford believes in treating the individual on a one-on-one basis instead of treating the disorder. Treatment and recovery are different for each individual, even if the substance abuse diagnosis is the same. Some individuals will benefit more from cognitive behavioral therapy, whereas other individuals may benefit more from experiential therapy. Each staff member at Pinelands Recovery is dedicated to the patient’s entire treatment and recovery process and is invested in the care and well-being of each individual.

Types of Therapy

Pinelands Recovery Center of Medford offers multiple types of psychotherapy approaches. Treatment is provided on an individual basis in the form of both individual and group settings.

  • Individual cognitive behavioral therapy: Cognitive behavioral therapy works to uncover automatic negative thoughts that can lead to emotional difficulties. The goal is for patients to understand negative thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors and change these destructive thought patterns into healthy emotional responses and behaviors.
  • Motivational interviewing: Talk therapy strategy works to move individuals away from a state of indecisiveness or uncertainty and towards seeking motivation to make positive decisions and accomplish established goals.
  • Acceptance and commitment: Individuals are encouraged to accept and embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than feeling guilty or fighting against these feelings.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy: Similar to cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy encourages individuals to adopt healthy behaviors by practicing four main strategies: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and emotion regulation.
  • Group psychodrama therapy: Psychodrama is an active and creative therapeutic approach that uses guided drama and role-playing that includes past situations or dreams. The goals of re-enacting past experiences are to uncover underlying trauma, gain new insights, resolve old conflicts, and practice new life skills and behaviors.
  • Experiential therapy: Expressive tools are used, such as role-playing, acting, arts, crafts, music and guided imagery to re-enact and re-experience emotional situations from past relationships.
