If you had a pre-existing mental health disorder before you started abusing substances, it is likely you relied on the substances as a way to self-medicate. Many symptoms of mental health disorders are stressful, so it can initially feel like drugs or alcohol are a way to reduce those symptoms. On the other hand, people who abuse substances increase their chances of developing a mental health condition.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured form of therapy in which the client, family and therapist work together as partners to assess, define, and treat problems. Clients and families learn to examine and respond in new ways to the elements that maintain anxiety and OCD-related problems, including their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key component of the treatment programming – the unique and specialized evidenced-based component of Mountain Valley Treatment Center. ERP is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) modality designed to provide gradual exposure and habituation to what causes a particular anxiety or compulsion. As psycho-education, this group therapy component of exposure therapy supports the individual therapy in which a resident is participating.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical refers to merging of opposing concepts. In DBT, the main dialectic is between the concepts of acceptance and change. Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills are taught to empower residents and teach them how to implement change. DBT is a form of therapy that utilizes a structured curriculum to develop skills in the following areas: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Through their therapeutic recreation program, they seek to challenge their residents to partake in activities that they normally might be reluctant to pursue due to their anxiety and avoidant tendencies. Their therapeutic recreation program offers similar incremental challenges. Beginning with on-campus activities that includes: horseback riding on our trails, hiking, yoga, mountain biking, art, music, snowshoeing and cross country skiing, residents will be incrementally challenged by routines that include hiking in the White and Green Mountains, canoe and kayaking excursions, rock climbing, and performing a musical instrument in front of residents and staff.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family therapy occurs weekly via VZ, phone or on-site. Review of a resident’s multi-disciplinary treatment plan occurs weekly.

As a short-term residential treatment center, Mountain Valley offers multiple group therapy sessions per week in addition to the Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) groups that occur twice per week. Thematic Group Therapy includes Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Expressive Arts, and DBT skills.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Each Treatment Program Resident of Mountain Valley Treatment Center receives three individual therapy sessions per week with their primary therapist. Psychoeducation is designed to enhance client and family knowledge about anxiety and OCD.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
