Clinically-Proven Treatment Modalities for Addiction
Granite Recovery Centers are evidence-based treatment centers (EBT) which intergrate a comprehensive 12-Step curriculum that centers on lifelong recovery from alcohol and drug addiction. Evidence-based therapies are defined as psycho-therapeutic treatments that have been subject to scientific studies and have been proven effective in treating specific disorders and psychoses by The National Registry for Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), which is maintained by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). When evidence-based treatment for addiction in is place, integrated with a 12-Step curriculum, the chance of lasting sobriety is improved exponentially.
Clinician-Facilitated Psychotherapy
Evidence-based treatment modalities are woven into the framework of Granite Recovery Centers’ inpatient drug rehab programs. Clinicians provide therapy in both individual and group therapy settings, while clients work through a 12-Step curriculum. Each of the 12-Steps is subject to clinical intervention to ensure that clients gain a deep understanding and awareness of pain and issues that present themselves during step work, an environment to properly process these issues in, and the personal skills required to move beyond them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
