The truth is there is no one-size-fits-all solution to addiction. Some achieve long-term recovery without a relapse, and others relapse consistently. The staff here at United Recovery Project understands this and that’s why we believe in an individualized approach to treating addiction. Our experienced clinicians and staff utilize various therapies to put together a treatment plan that addresses the core of your substance abuse. You or your loved one will have the opportunity to attend sessions using the most up-to-date therapies such as:
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
* Creative Therapies like Art & Music
* Relapse Prevention Education
* Life-skill Training

Specialization
Dual Diagnosis/Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
These two terms describe a person who is not only addicted to drugs or alcohol, but also has a mental or emotional illness, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Facilities that treat patients with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders provide psychiatric treatment in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.Eating Disorder Treatment
Many mental health professionals view eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, along with other dysfunctional eating patterns) as a food addiction – in that food is used in ways other than as fuel or a source of pleasure. Some, but not all, addiction treatment programs include eating disorder treatment as part of the service menu. Also, an eating disorder may be a dual-diagnosis or a co-occurring disorder with drug or alcohol addiction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.Animal Therapy
Animal therapy (also called animal-assisted therapy and pet therapy) supports recovery and emotional wellbeing by helping people develop relationships with animals. Animal therapy can be a one-time or ongoing experience.
