Of the many types of treatment used in behavioral health, individual counseling is the most popular form of therapy, including for drug addiction treatment. You can get one-on-one counseling in an outpatient setting with a private therapist (i.e., once a week in a therapist’s office or via telehealth), as part of an intensive outpatient program (i.e., group therapy with a more structured therapist curriculum), or in a residential or inpatient rehab program.
The treatment includes talking about your individual problems and feelings with a clinical expert. Together, you build trust and work to identify and address the cause of your stresses, addiction, and associated behaviors. The sessions are tailored to your needs as you go.
What Is Individual Counseling?
At Santé Center for Healing, individual counseling is built into numerous levels of care.
- Residential clients have individual therapy multiple times per week with their primary therapist. Their primary therapist is a source of great consistency, support, challenge, revelation and compassion throughout an individual’s residential level of care.
- Intensive outpatient clients meet with a primary therapist multiple times throughout their 16 valuable and formative weeks in the intensive outpatient program.
- Once appropriate for a less-acute level of care, clients and their families have the option to see a Santé clinician in an outpatient setting, perhaps once per week, bi-weekly or once per month as needed.
The Purpose of One-on-One Counseling
Santé Center for Healing’s master’s level therapists are dedicated to helping individuals identify, adapt, heal from, and effectively deal with presenting problems and life’s challenges – addiction, anger, trauma, life transitions, depression, grief, problematic sexual behavior, disordered eating, gambling, gaming, compulsive behaviors, or self-harm. Especially in a residential level of care and even in an intensive outpatient program, our clients seek help with life-threatening, chronic disease issues that are hard to face, address, and overcome on their own.
In recent Santé Client Satisfaction/Service Evaluation, clients specifically commented about their individual therapy and primary therapists, saying:
You can hear it in our client and alumni’s words and sentiments included above; individual counseling is integral to the success of our clients as they journey towards life-long recovery and trauma resolution.
