Individual Health and Healing Therapy

Individualized treatment is an essential part of addiction and mental health recovery.

Wonderpeace offers individualized treatment programs to clients wanting to overcome various addictions and mental health issues, including:

  • Substance use disorder
  • Behavioural addiction
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Personality disorders

Individualized treatment involves creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses a person’s needs, requirements, and treatment goals rather than adopting a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.

What is individualised therapy, and what does it involve?

An individualized treatment plan considers all the components that must be unpacked and worked through for lasting recovery.

Since there is no single cause for addiction, likewise, there is no one thing that treats the condition.

What treatments are used in individualised therapy?

Various treatments are used in individualized therapy.

However, typically, the most common approaches used in individualized treatment include the following:

  • Cognitive behavioural therapy
  • Addiction treatment
  • Talk therapy

Let’s explore these treatments in more detail.

The goal of individualised treatment

Ultimately, individualized treatment aims to provide a holistic, comprehensive approach to mental health and addiction recovery. This involves addressing all the parts that fuel a person’s addiction and the underlying mental health conditions that frequently co-occur with substance use disorder, such as depression, anxiety, and personality disorders, to name just a few.

Individualized therapy incorporates a holistic approach to addiction and mental health treatment by addressing each person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. Once you begin the recovery process, you will start experiencing some of the benefits of individualized treatment, including:

  • Learning to manage the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of substance use disorder
  • Accessing treatment that is suitable for your individual needs, circumstances, and recovery goals
  • Understanding the underlying causes of addiction and identifying addiction triggers
  • Having access to multiple therapy options which can be tailored to accommodate each person’s needs and preferences
  • Building healthy social connections around sobriety and recovery rather than substance abuse

Frequently asked questions

Once inpatient treatment is complete, an individualized aftercare plan will be put into place to help navigate the early weeks and months of solo recovery. The aftercare plan will be monitored by a case manager and will include a variety of components, including ongoing therapy and participation in a support group. Other components are based on unique needs and may include help finding a job or safe housing, educational assistance, ongoing monitoring of a co-occurring mental illness, and other programs and interventions.

Pack enough clothes to last you at least a week when heading to a residential treatment center. Laundry facilities are available for your use. Leave electronics and valuables, including jewelry and cash, at home. Bring whatever toiletries you need. You may also want to bring things to do during relaxation periods, such as a book or crossword puzzles. Bringing a journal and plenty of pens is always recommended, as reflecting in a journal is a valuable benefit to recovery.

Most residential treatment programs allow you to have visitors after a period of time. The early days of inpatient rehab are generally focused on getting you settled into a routine and don’t typically include visiting hours. Depending on your program, phone access may be available from the start, although there may be some restrictions.

High quality inpatient treatment programs offer a variety of recreational opportunities, such as sports courts, swimming or workout facilities, TVs, games, and off-site field trips to dine out, catch a movie or go bowling. An important aspect of treatment is learning how to have fun without needing drugs or alcohol, and recreational activities help you develop a new sense of fun and relaxation.
