Specialized Therapies & Holistic Treatment
At Hope by the Sea, our cutting-edge treatment programs are 100% tailored to your individual needs, whether you’re a first-time client, recovering from a relapse, or have a history of unresponsiveness to rehab. Much more than “talk therapy,” our Orange County facility network fuses evidence-based treatments, experiential therapies, holistic modalities and family services to create a truly personalized experience.
Specialized Services for Drug & Alcohol Treatment
In conjunction with individual and group therapy sessions, Hope by the Sea offers these proven treatment options:
- Family sculpting. Role-playing that is commonly used to diagnose family dysfunction, help participants recognize family patterns, and prepare them to establish healthy boundaries upon their return home.
- Gestalt-style therapy. Takes into account a client’s family, medical, employment, educational and relationship history. Gestalt therapy helps clients become more aware of their role in a larger system, helping them identify negative behaviors and thought patterns that cause systemic issues.
- Role-playing. Used in many of our therapy programs, role-playing encourages participants to pinpoint communication patterns and better understand how their actions affect the thoughts and feelings of others.
- Psychodrama. Calls clients to reenact dreams, past experiences or group interactions. The goal of the approach is to gain insight into situations, practice life skills and relational techniques, and achieve a deeper self-understanding. With the help of a certified drug and alcohol therapist, psychodrama helps clients develop new solutions to old problems.
- Art therapy. Uses mind mapping and goal mapping to develop a meaningful visual. For example, a client might cut out magazine images, place them on a dream board and create a collage of positive affirmations to help them fend off negative thought patterns.
- Yoga. A mind-body practice ideal for all fitness and flexibility levels. Yoga is used to help chemically dependent clients enhance mental, emotional and physical health. It is also useful for stretching, mindfulness and stress or pain relief.
- Softball & team sports. Recreational activities help Hope by the Sea clients build confidence and establish a sense of camaraderie and teamwork.
- Gym membership. Recovery should be holistic: mind, body and spirit. Exercise helps to produce serotonin and stabilize the body as it goes through change.
- Meditation. The goal of meditation is to deepen body awareness, release tension and assume a spirit of calm. Hope by the Sea offers therapist-guided meditation designed to de-stress clients and reinforce their recovery objectives.
Specialized Services for Drug & Alcohol Treatment
Hope by the Sea uses experiential and holistic therapies to help men and women grow emotionally and spiritually. Advantages of our specialized therapies include:
- Enhanced self-esteem & self-worth
- Identification of recovery obstacles
- Empowered, self-aware decision making
- Ability to be accountable for one’s actions
- Ability to experience accomplishments
During experiential therapy, Hope by the Sea groups focus on a specific task rather than a therapy outcome. As a result, participants let down their guard and interact more honestly with therapists and co-participants. Experiential therapy also offers new ways to fill sober time and is an effective way to build relationships and connect with the mind, body and spirit.
