Utilizing evidence-based interventions, goal setting, and coping strategies, counselors guide patients in developing healthier coping mechanisms, strengthening their resilience, addressing co-occurring mental health concerns, and creating sustainable recovery plans.

Individual Therapy
At Peak Path Health, individual therapy provides a confidential and supportive environment for personal growth and healing. During these one-on-one sessions, clients work with a dedicated therapist to explore underlying issues contributing to addiction, process past experiences, and develop effective coping mechanisms. This focused attention allows for a deeper understanding of personal patterns and the cultivation of inner resources, fostering lasting change and a renewed sense of self.
Group Therapy
Group therapy at Peak Path fosters a sense of community and shared understanding, providing a powerful platform for healing and growth. In this setting, clients interact with peers, share experiences, and receive support from others who face similar challenges. Facilitated by experienced therapists, group sessions enhance communication skills, build empathy, and offer diverse perspectives on recovery. This collaborative environment promotes accountability and reduces feelings of isolation, reinforcing the idea that sustainable healing is a collective journey.
Equine Therapy
Our equine therapy program offers a unique and experiential approach to healing. Patients interact with horses, leveraging the animals’ intuitive nature to gain insights into their own behaviors and emotional states. This non-verbal communication fosters increased self-awareness, trust, and emotional regulation. Equine therapy offers a unique opportunity for individuals to establish healthy boundaries, develop leadership skills, and process emotions in a safe and supportive environment, fostering a deeper connection to themselves and nature.
Meditation
Through guided techniques, patients learn to observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, fostering a greater sense of present-moment awareness. This meditative practice helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance mental clarity. By integrating meditation, patients develop a deeper connection to their inner resources, empowering them to respond to challenges with intention. Our meditation sessions serve as a fundamental practice for cultivating mindfulness and inner calm.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at Peak Path is an evidence-based approach that helps patients identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and beliefs contributing to addiction. Therapists guide patients in developing practical strategies to reframe negative thinking, build healthier coping mechanisms, and cultivate positive self-talk. CBT equips individuals with essential tools for managing triggers, navigating cravings, and building resilience, empowering them to make conscious choices that support long-term recovery.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) at Peak Path provides a comprehensive framework for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. This approach teaches crucial skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal communication. DBT helps clients navigate challenging situations, reduce impulsive behaviors, and foster healthier relationships. By integrating acceptance and change, DBT empowers individuals to build a more stable emotional foundation and cultivate a life aligned with their values.
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy
EMDR therapy at Peak Path is a specialized treatment designed to process and resolve the impact of traumatic experiences that may contribute to addiction. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR facilitates the brain’s natural healing process, reducing the emotional distress associated with distressing memories. This therapeutic approach helps to reframe negative self-beliefs, alleviate symptoms of trauma, and promote a sense of emotional liberation, supporting patients in their journey toward comprehensive healing and sustained recovery.
Why is Support Important Recovery?
Support is essential during addiction recovery because it provides encouragement, accountability, and a sense of connection at a time when individuals may feel isolated or overwhelmed. Having the guidance of counselors, the encouragement of loved ones, or the fellowship of peers helps reduce feelings of shame and loneliness while reinforcing positive changes.
Support also offers practical tools, such as coping strategies, relapse prevention skills, and healthy routines, that make long-term recovery more sustainable. With the right network of care, individuals are better equipped to stay motivated, manage challenges, and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. By combining evidence-based techniques with compassionate care, addiction counseling at Peak Path Health empowers individuals to build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create a balanced, fulfilling life.

How Does Addiction Counseling Work?
Therapy delves into the root causes of addiction, which often include past trauma, mental health conditions (co-occurring disorders like depression or anxiety), unhealthy coping mechanisms, and dysfunctional relationship patterns. By exploring these underlying factors, individuals gain insight into why they initially turned to substances.
Behavioral therapies, such as CBT or DBT, are central to addiction treatment. These therapies teach individuals to:
- Identify triggers: Recognize the people, places, things, or emotions that can provoke cravings or lead to substance use.
- Challenge distorted thinking: Reframe negative or irrational thoughts that perpetuate addictive behaviors.
- Develop coping skills: Learn healthy ways to manage stress, cravings, and difficult emotions without relying on substances.
- Practice new behaviors: Replace destructive habits with constructive and rewarding activities.
Addiction often impacts an individual’s ability to function effectively in daily life. Therapy helps rebuild or develop essential skills such as communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Our therapists also use individual and group therapy sessions to teach relapse prevention strategies and coping mechanisms.
Therapy also helps overcome addiction because it emphasizes the importance of a strong support network while also providing emotional support. Both group and family therapy can help build or strengthen a support network during the recovery process. In family therapy, dynamics that may contribute to addiction can be addressed with the entire family. This helps make the home environment more supportive and safe for an individual when they finish residential treatment.
Addiction counseling is highly individualized to the person in recovery. Our therapists and counselors do not take a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, they take into account a patient’s specific substance abuse and the severity of the misuse. Our clinical team utilizes individual therapy to continually assess and adjust a patient’s treatment plan, ensuring that we help them recover at the pace they need.
Addiction recovery is a chronic, non-linear process that requires ongoing commitment. Therapy provides the foundation and tools for long-term sobriety, but vigilance and continued engagement with supportive resources are crucial for maintaining abstinence and a fulfilling life. Relapses can occur, and when they do, therapy helps individuals to learn from them, adjust their treatment plan, and return to recovery.
