Mastering emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

DBT is an advanced form of therapy that focuses heavily on teaching four core skills: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience intense emotions, have difficulty managing conflict, and struggle with self-destructive behaviours often co-occurring with addiction.

How it helps you:

Tolerate Distress: Learn skills to get through difficult and overwhelming situations, like intense withdrawal or craving, without making things worse.

Regulate Emotions: Identify, name, and change emotions that are causing problems in your life.

Improve Relationships: Develop skills to communicate needs effectively, manage conflict, and build healthy support systems essential for long-term recovery.

Addressing the root causes of addiction for deep, sustainable healing.

For many individuals, addiction is a way to cope with unresolved trauma—past events that have overwhelmed the nervous system. Our dedicated Trauma Therapy approach provides a safe, structured environment to process these underlying wounds. We utilize evidence-based techniques to help you gently reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

How it helps you:

Process Past Events: Safely work through past painful experiences, often without needing to recount the details explicitly.

Reduce Emotional Intensity: Lessen the frequency and intensity of emotional flashbacks, panic, and reactivity associated with trauma.

Break the Cycle: By treating the trauma, we remove the core psychological need to self-medicate, breaking the long-term cycle of substance dependence.

A holistic, tried-and-tested path to spiritual, emotional, and physical recovery.

The 12-Step Programme, utilized within our comprehensive Minnesota Method framework, is a universally respected approach to treating alcoholism and drug addiction. It provides a structured, phased roadmap to recovery that incorporates spiritual principles, accountability, and the power of community support.

How it helps you:

Build Community: Connect with others in recovery through daily group meetings and peer support, fostering accountability and reducing feelings of isolation.

Self-Reflection: The steps encourage honest self-appraisal and making amends, which are crucial for resolving past guilt and moving forward.

Lifelong Support: Instills the tools and philosophy needed to engage with recovery groups (like AA or NA) long after you leave the center, ensuring a continuous path to sobriety.
