Addiction Therapies at Aura Recovery

LEARN MORE ABOUT

Therapy and behavioral health interventions are integral components of evidence-based recovery. Aura Recovery offers a wide range of mental health, behavioral health, and holistic services, including therapy, yoga, Reiki, and more, to enrich the treatment experience and promote a new way of life for sustainable recovery.

Holistic interventions support the recovery process by enhancing the treatment experience and offering a path for deeper personal healing. After detox is over, holistic therapies are integrated with other evidence-based treatments and offered across all levels of care. Our holistic addiction treatments may include Reiki, yoga, sound bowl healing drum circle therapy, aromatherapy, and more

Throughout your stay in our luxurious Kentucky treatment facility, you will work closely with professional treatment providers and master-level clinicians. They provide one-on-one support and treatment to address substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, and emotional needs. Individual therapy will be your opportunity to dig deep and activate personal growth and healing.

Peer support plays a vital role in the recovery process—promoting relapse prevention, easing withdrawal symptoms, and increasing self-awareness.Research shows that group psychotherapy is just as effective as individual therapy,[1] though each serves a slightly different purpose. At Aura Recovery, our support group community creates space for clients to learn from one another, explore alternative perspectives, practice essential recovery skills, and build meaningful, lasting relationships.

Recovery has never been and will likely never be a solo process. Your family is often negatively impacted during struggles with substance use or alcohol use disorder. Incorporating family members into addiction treatment programs helps address the lasting trauma and relational impact of these challenges. Family therapy is appropriate for parents, siblings, partners or spouses, and those in your closest circle.

Harmful patterns and self-sabotaging behaviors often first take root as destructive thought patterns. If these thought patterns remain after detox or treatment, they can compromise all the hard work you’ve put into recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based intervention that dismantles harmful behavior where it starts and helps you build healthier coping skills to support sobriety and healing.

We all have a logical part of our brain and an emotional one. When substance use and mental illness intersect, emotions can often take the lead—making it harder to establish healthy habits. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a proven approach that helps individuals increase mindfulness, improve distress tolerance, enhance emotional regulation, and strengthen interpersonal effectiveness.[2] These skills elevate overall quality of life and improve treatment outcomes, making DBT a valuable tool in the recovery process.

We all face challenges that negatively impact our well-being and cause us to fall back on unhealthy habits. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you accept difficult emotions, monitor thought patterns, correctly understand your values, and take healthy action. The goal is to see yourself as more—and capable of more—than what your thoughts and feelings try to tell you.

At Aura Recovery, we don’t want you to simply “receive treatment.” We want you to LIVE a positive recovery experience. Experiential Therapy is an active intervention that leverages activities, exercise, and creative mediums as an opportunity to explore and process negative events or emotions. You will participate in non-verbal emotional processing to work through practical challenges.

Individualized Treatment Plans For Addiction Recovery

No two patients are alike. No two paths to recovery are identical. At Aura Recovery, patient success comes first.

To determine the best type of therapy for you or your loved one, each patient will first complete an initial evaluation. This will determine individual needs, treatment timelines, and the type of treatment that would be most effective. Based on the patient’s history of alcohol or drug use, mental health conditions, risk factors, and more, targeted treatment approaches are prescribed to enhance individual wellness and improve patient outcomes.

Our holistic treatment center is a residential facility that’s warm and welcoming with all the charm of Kentucky’s Southern hospitality. Come and find healing with us.

Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Therapies In Kentucky

What is the most effective treatment for addiction?

The most effective treatment for one person may not be the most effective for the next. However, studies show that those who participated in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy had 15-20% better outcomes than those who received only minimal treatment or none at all.[3] Additionally, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was even more successful when paired with medication-assisted treatment options. Learn more about medication-assisted treatment here.

What do addiction therapies do?

Each addiction therapy has a slightly different focus, but they all impact who you are from the inside out. It is far less effective to stop substance use if the path that led you there is still fully functional. Effective, evidence-based addiction therapies help you dismantle harmful thought patterns, improve emotional regulation, build practical coping skills, and live in better alignment with your values. Therapy sessions aren’t just part of recovery; they’re the backbone of recovery.

What are the types of substance use disorders?

There are nearly as many substance use disorders as there are substances, both prescription and illicit. At Aura Recovery, we specialize in opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, benzodiazepine use disorder, fentanyl use disorder, kratom use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and meth use disorder. With a number of holistic interventions, we can also treat those struggling with a co-occurring mental health disorder like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder when they present with substance use.
