Individual therapy sessions help participants process their feelings and experiences in a private setting. In these sessions, participants can talk about their recovery journeys and establish goals for their future. Individual therapy allows participants to receive one-on-one guidance from an experienced professional. Counseling may also be the perfect opportunity to address issues that participants may be hesitant to discuss in a group setting.

Groups allow participants to share their insights, learn from the experiences of others, and develop skills that will support their continued recovery. To provide participants with the support and encouragement they need, outpatient features group counseling where participants will learn and process topics such as:

• Relapse Triggers
• Relapse Prevention Plan
• Recovery Foundation Tools
• Healthy Communication
• Identifying Feelings
• Coping with Stress
• Impulse Control
• Anger Issues
• Attitudes
• Grief and loss
• Positive self-image
• Disease model
• Communication styles and healthy boundaries
• Trust and forgiveness
• Codependency and enabling

Upon completion of the outpatient program, clients can also participate in aftercare services. Our goal is to assist clients in removing barriers and creating bridges to successful outcomes. Our licensed and certified program is designed to meet the needs of each client through consistency, collaboration, and compassion.

Because of the close link between addiction to substance abuse and anger, Bridges treats both issues at once to provide a more comprehensive and complete addiction rehab recovery program. Anger during addiction recovery is treated as well as the addiction and this provides the best possible chance for success and life-long recovery.
Treatment of substance abuse, addiction and anger at Bridges Outpatient includes:

• Individual therapy, to help patients understand and process their anger.
• Anger Management groups, to allow patients to discuss their issues with others facing similar struggles.
• Our evidence-based Anger Management curriculum 12 sessions that focus on life practice.
