Our clinicians are all deeply trained in research-supported therapies that target substance use/compulsive behaviors patterns as well the mental health issues that often accompany these problems such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/complex trauma and anxiety/mood disorders.
The cornerstone of our clinical approach is motivational: Helping people change must include each individual finding personal and compelling reasons for change, as well as a pathway they can truly endorse. While there are clear and specific tools (e.g., CBT, DBT, mindfulness) to be used in making change, they are not effective unless you have made the often very difficult decision to use them. In providing a respectful and challenging focus on personal motivation and values, CMC clinicians help clients find and engage in a change process that is life-enhancing and long-lasting.

At WBMA our professionals have done extensive research, peer-reviewed publications and have developed patents for pharmacogenetic testing. We provide brain stimulation therapies involve the activation or inhibition of targeted areas of the brain. At WBMA we use a non-invasive, very well tolerated, FDA approved method called Transcranial Magnetic Sitmulation (TMS) to augment ongoing treatment. We also recognize that cultural differences can enhance quality of care and signficantly contribute to a more successful treatment strategy.

Addiction Treatment Centers
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.
