When the brain needs a psychoactive substance to feel functional, it has developed a dependency on that substance. Of course, every drug has side effects. And some are stronger than others. When the side effects of chemical dependency overshadow the benefits of the drug, people often need outside assistance in order to stop using the drug. Addiction causes complex brain chemistry changes that destroy judgment, hope, cognition, relationships, creativity, and self-image.
At Crestview Recovery Center, we offer a variety of addiction therapy services. Not every type of therapy will work well for everyone who needs addiction treatment. For this reason, members of our staff have different backgrounds and knowledge when it comes to types of therapy. Different types of therapy work for different people, but they generally fall into two categories: individual counseling and group therapy.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions with a therapist or counselor give our clients the safe space they need to open up and begin talking about the root causes of their addiction.
We use a few different types of individual therapy for addiction to help people dive deep. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma therapy. Discovering the root causes gives people the knowledge they need to fight addiction. We offer the following types of individual therapy here at our Oregon drug rehab center:
Your counselor at Crestview will work with you to help you overcome the issues that led you to addiction in the first place. Individual therapy will help you address concerns that are specific to your recovery.
Group Therapy
In group therapy for addiction, individuals have a chance to share their experiences with others who may have been through similar situations. This helps people in a couple of different ways. First, it helps them realize that they aren’t alone in their struggles. Second, it gives them a sounding board to bounce ideas off of and receive helpful advice.
Family therapy also falls under this umbrella. During family therapy, individuals fighting addiction can begin mending relationships with their loved ones.
Crestview’s Alumni Program
When you complete one of our addiction treatment programs, you won’t be left to face the world alone. Crestview Recovery understands that the first years of recovery can be very challenging, so we designed our alumni program to help keep people connected after they finish the program. Our alumni program helps by holding people accountable and encouraging lasting connections with others whose lives have been affected by addiction.
Aftercare is vital to help people avoid relapse after treatment. The truth is that many people who attend drug rehabs aren’t able to maintain their sobriety after they complete the program. An alumni program can help keep people on the right track in their recovery and connect with others with similar experiences.
Sober Living
At Crestview, we provide housing for people in recovery because we find that many of our clients benefit from a supportive, sober home environment. When you are not in treatment, you will be relaxing, taking care of house responsibilities, or taking care of personal responsibilities. Our Portland sober living homes are places of growth, healing, and independence. If you are considering moving into a sober living home in the Portland area, Crestview Recovery is an excellent option.

If health, relationship, and financial consequences are not enough to discourage a person from abusing drugs and alcohol, the person will likely need some kind of life intervention before they recognize the benefits of recovery.
