Pride Recovery Center

Our 12 Step Therapy program is based on the steps and principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

This type of therapy involves a series of individual and group sessions based on the concepts of the 12-step program. This helps our clients accept their disease of addiction and enables the them develop a willingness to engage in treatment. This useful therapy helps to build a number of life skills that can help the participant maintain sobriety after they complete their treatment.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy method developed in the late 1908s to treat trauma and PTSD by minimizing the effect of traumatic memories.

EMDR is a type of psychotherapy designed to help clients relieve depression, anxiety, and stress induced by past trauma. Our Clinical Director Dr. Joseph Milisitz, Ph.D., LCSW is a leading expert in EMDR therapy. He leads sessions where patients are involved in repetitive eye and movement exercises designed to help minimize our clients traumatic memories.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Drug or alcohol abuse can affect the thought process of the user’s mind. Substance abuse can allow negative thoughts and unstable emotional patterns to emerge within the user.

CBT is a method of talk therapy designed to help our clients deal with negative thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to modify their behavior in an effort to prevent future negative behavior. We utilize this therapy to help clients learn to manage stress, emotions, or to cope with loss, grief, and other negative and traumatic experiences.

Neurofeedback is a treatment that has been utilized for over 60 years and is considered a safe and effective way to repair irregular brain patterns. Irregular brain patterns are known to cause ADHD, anxiety, and other challenging conditions.

Neurofeedback utilizes EEG biofeedback to identify irregular brain patterns using qEEG Brain Mapping. A computer system optimizes the irregularity by guiding the brain back into a healthy pattern. Repetition of this process over time causes the brain to learn how to stay in healthy ranges without the aid of the computer. Neurofeedback techniques train the brain to function more efficiently, helping the person being treated manage stress more effectively.

This type of therapy enables our guests to utilize both their bodies and their minds for therapeutic activity in the great outdoors.

Adventure Therapy is a specific form of psychotherapy that incorporates various physical and mental challenges designed to treat the participant’s emotional health while providing beneficial physical activity. This therapy often involves outdoor activities that are physically demanding or require problem solving skills.
