What is Psychotherapy?

woman ponders what is psychotherapyWhen it comes to substance abuse and addiction treatment, there are numerous options. As a matter of fact, many forms of talk therapy prove to be a useful tool.  One popular option is psychotherapy. But, what is psychotherapy? What benefits does this therapy provide? How can you support someone dealing with these problems?

What is Psychotherapy?

In regards to addiction and substance abuse, what is psychotherapy? This therapy option involves the use of a variety of psychological methods. These methods then lead to positive changes and conquering the challenges ahead. Talk therapy involves one-on-one or group counseling sessions that aim to detect and change self-destructive patterns of thinking and behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one type of talk therapy that can prove useful for evolving disturbing thought and behavior patterns.

What are the Benefits of Psychotherapy?

No matter the form, talk therapy can provide many benefits. Those who participate in talk therapy tend to experience the following:

A Safe and Judgement Free Zone

Generally, those suffering from substance abuse feel judgment from others because of their issues. As a result, they may shy away from talking about things that could speed their recovery from these problems. Talk therapy provides a safe environment for these individuals to discuss important topics.

Coping Skills

In general, stress affects us all. Those who have a history of drug abuse may need additional coping skills. This helps them find positive ways of dealing with the everyday stressors of life.

Self-Empowerment

In some cases, those dealing with substance abuse or addiction feel powerless. Talk therapy allows them to learn how to take back control of their life and destiny in a manner that encourages self-empowerment.

Vital Skills to Prevent Relapse

Relapse is a common problem one can experience during or after treatment. Thankfully, psychotherapy provides an opportunity to teach essential skills that can help prevent relapse.

How to Support a Loved One Suffering from Addiction

When you know someone suffering from addiction or substance abuse, support is key. Remain by their side no matter what, to aid in their successful recovery.

Of course, seeking professional treatment is an integral part of the rehabilitation process. Hawaii Island Recovery is a residential substance abuse treatment facility located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
