CBT is a type of talk therapy where individuals can gain clarity on their perspective of the world and their behavior. CBT is a proven approach for dealing with mental health concerns, including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship issues, and addiction.

At Beachway, CBT is a 12-to-16 week structured program, where patients set concrete goals and track progress over that timeline. CBT helps empower loved ones by changing how they think and behave. This highly structured therapy involves deep self-reflection. The goal is for patients to understand how their thoughts influence their behavior and to improve their self-confidence.

REBT treats drug and alcohol dependency by reversing negative, irrational thoughts and emotions that can lead to addictive behaviors. REBT is based on research that conditioned habits can be unlearned, including using drugs and alcohol.

For patients at Beachway, REBT boosts their ability to think through destructive behavior rationally. It allows patients to refresh their perspective, take stock of their emotions and thoughts, and readjust their behavior accordingly.

EMDR is a research-driven therapy that teaches specific eye movement strategies designed to reset how a person processes past traumas and psychological distress that can cause substance abuse and addiction. EMDR is a proven therapy for treating both addiction and PTSD.

At Beachway, therapists use EMDR to help patients heal from underlying trauma or disturbing memories using a standardized set of protocols and procedures of bilateral auditory, visual, and/or tactile stimuli. EMDR can release an individual from feeling triggered, emotionally unstable, and trapped in the cycle of trauma.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) empowers a person suffering from addiction or substance abuse to accept recovery and regain control over their lives. Based on the premise that a person’s desire to recover will ultimately determine the efficacy of treatment, MI is a collaborative process. MI exercises put individuals in the driver’s seat to determine what behaviors they need to change to succeed with a treatment plan.
