Dual Diagnosis

Individual therapy forms a cornerstone of treatment at Worthy Wellness Center, allowing for personalized care and focused attention on each client’s unique needs. Clients receive 2 hours of 1-on-1 counseling per week, facilitated by licensed therapists experienced in treating trauma, substance use disorders, and mental health issues. Individual therapy sessions provide a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to work through underlying issues contributing to their dual diagnosis. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to develop personalized treatment plans that foster self-awareness, healing, and growth.

Group therapy plays a vital role in the dual diagnosis program at Worthy Wellness Center, offering clients essential peer support and opportunities for skill-building in a structured setting. The center provides 3 hours per week of group therapy in the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and 5 hours per week in the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). Group sessions are led by skilled therapists and cover a variety of topics, including relapse prevention, coping skills, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through group therapy, clients learn from one another’s experiences, gain perspective, and develop crucial social skills that support long-term recovery.

Worthy Wellness Center incorporates holistic therapies to complement traditional therapeutic approaches, promoting physical, mental, and emotional healing. These holistic treatments are designed to enhance overall well-being and support clients in achieving balance and inner peace. Examples of holistic therapies offered include:

• Yoga: Yoga sessions are integrated into the program to help clients connect mind and body, reduce stress, and improve physical fitness. Yoga practice at Worthy Wellness Center emphasizes mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and gentle movement, fostering a sense of serenity and self-awareness.
• Breathwork: Breathwork techniques are used to enhance emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and increase overall relaxation. Clients learn various breathing exercises that can be used as a tool to manage stress and promote a sense of calmness.
• Meditation: Mindfulness meditation practices are taught to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness, improve concentration, and develop self-compassion. Meditation sessions at Worthy Wellness Center are guided by experienced instructors and are tailored to meet the individual needs of clients in recovery.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is utilized at Worthy Wellness Center to help clients explore and heal the different parts of themselves that may be in conflict. This therapeutic approach views the mind as a collection of various subpersonalities or “parts,” each with its own beliefs, emotions, and motivations. Through IFS therapy, clients learn to understand and integrate these parts, fostering harmony and self-compassion. This can be particularly beneficial for clients with complex trauma and dissociation, as it helps them reconnect with their core self and achieve greater emotional balance.

EMDR is a specialized therapy offered at Worthy Wellness Center for clients with trauma-related disorders, such as PTSD. This evidence-based therapy helps clients process traumatic memories and reduce distress associated with past traumatic experiences. EMDR sessions are conducted by trained therapists who use bilateral stimulation techniques to facilitate the brain’s natural healing process. By reprocessing traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment, clients can experience significant symptom relief and improved emotional well-being.

Worthy Wellness Center offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), including low doses of suboxone, for clients who may benefit from pharmacological support in their recovery journey. MAT is especially useful for managing withdrawal symptoms, reducing cravings, and preventing relapse in clients with substance use disorders. MAT is integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes therapy and holistic treatments, ensuring a holistic approach to recovery.
