Addictions if untreated have the same traits: secrets, ritualistic behavior, obcessions of the mind followed by cravings and compulsive acting out then the shame kicks in and we say, "I'll never do that again and (2) weeks later we are left demoralized as we find ourselves doing it again often with catastrophic results. The group explores the science of addiction and how to gain the tools to stop the behavior. The group will begin Oct 01, 2021 and a phone interview to assess for suitability will be required.

I have a specialization working with couples, families and individuals; as well as substance abuse/chemical dependency and addiction treatment (porn, sex & gambling).
I utilize CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused, DBT and theGottman Method with couple. Clients learn that thoughts create feelings, mood then affect. With couples and families my job is to provide a safe place where effective communication can develop, listening and most importantly the ability to respond to each other rather than react/ conflict resolution.

What if you had fulfilling, healthy relationships (with your spouse/partner, family, friends, colleagues or children), despite anxiety, changing roles or circumstances, traumatic experiences, addiction or abuse, grief, loss, or guilty feelings?
As a clinical Art Therapist, I use art making as an outlet for non-verbal emotional expression. It helps to illuminate and give voice to feelings and thoughts that are too ambiguous or difficult to talk about, and provides a means for reflection and release of energy. No art skill is needed. It is an effective and helpful tool with people of all ages.

Ronaye Calvert, a nationally acclaimed addiction specialist, along with a team of clinical specialists amounting to a maximum client to staff ratio of only 4 to 1, Revive Detox Center in West Los Angeles, CA is the ultimate launching point into truly integrative and sustainable sobriety.
Revive Detox was created by a group of dedicated addiction treatment professionals who saw a gap in detox therapy services in the Los Angeles area specifically, and the nationwide as a whole. Utilizing a 24/7 clinical staff which offers far more training and expertise in all aspects of medically assisted detox, we are able to better prepare the each individual client for attaining the highest likelihood in achievement of long-term success in sobriety. It is common for addiction treatment programs, particularly at the residential and partial hospitalization levels of care, to partner or contract with specific medical detox centers, sometimes in a completely different state. Revive Detox is completely independent and does not contract or partner with any specific treatment center. What we do, is offer is dedicated detox to patients who require this important and essential service, in order to ready them physically, and in part emotionally, for the rest of their recovery treatment journey.

Addiction Support Groups

What is the best therapy for addiction?

Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.

How long does therapy for addiction take?

There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.

How effective is drug addiction treatment?

Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.

How can you get addiction treatment for someone?

The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
