Treatment Modalities for Teens

At NewView Healing, we provide a compassionate, therapeutic space where we believe every teen has the potential to heal and lead a fulfilling life. We dedicate ourselves to guiding each client through self-discovery, acceptance, and growth. Our goal is not just to treat the symptoms but to address the root causes of distress, empowering the youth to overcome challenges and foster a life of wellness.

What are Treatment Modalities for Teens?

Treatment modalities for teens are various therapeutic methods and approaches used in psychological and psychiatric treatment.

These approaches are designed to help adolescents understand and overcome personal struggles, mental health issues, and behavioral concerns. Some common modalities include The Seven Challenges, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and more.

Why are Treatment Modalities Important for Youth?

Each individual's path to healing is unique, and different treatment modalities cater to these varying needs and circumstances. Modalities for teens are important because they provide a framework for therapists and clients to understand, address, and overcome the underlying issues. They foster personal growth, increase self-awareness, promote healthier coping mechanisms, and enhance life skills. For example, treatment modalities for substance and alcohol abuse can greatly affect the rate of adolescent recovery. Ultimately, the chosen modality works as a compass guiding the healing journey.

What Treatment Modalities are offered at NewView Healing?

At NewView Healing, we offer a range of evidence-based treatment modalities to cater to the diverse needs of youth. Everyone is unique in their recovery needs; we work to find the best treatment modalities for substance abuse, mental health, and addiction to cater to each individual's specific needs. Some examples are The Seven Challenges, Adventure Therapy, the Matrix Model, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Each approach is carefully selected and tailored to the individual's unique circumstances, ensuring an effective, personalized treatment process.

The Seven Challenges

The Seven Challenges is an innovative program for adolescent drug issues. Instead of forcing immediate abstinence, it fosters mutual respect and honest conversations about drug use effects. The program understands drugs may be used to cope with trauma or life issues, acting as a partner in overcoming these. Recognizing adolescents' unique developmental stages assists in mastering life skills. The program can be implemented individually or in groups by accommodating various counseling settings and diverse backgrounds. Independent studies affirm its effectiveness in reducing substance use and improving adolescents' overall mental health.

The Matrix Model

The Matrix Model is an intensive outpatient intervention for adults with substance use disorders. It aims to eliminate substance use, enhance addiction knowledge, improve relationships, and support personal growth. Participants learn about addiction and develop strategies to address their needs. The model includes cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management, relapse prevention, early recovery skills, and motivational interviewing. Both group and individual supports are provided, and clinicians may recommend family involvement or other social supports. Urine tests monitor drug use, and participants also engage in a 12-step program as part of the treatment plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a well-established, evidence-based addiction treatment modality that focuses on changing negative thought patterns that can lead to maladaptive behaviors. At NewView Healing, our expert therapists use CBT to help clients identify and challenge these patterns, ultimately fostering healthier thoughts and behaviors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Treatment Modalities

  • How is the appropriate treatment modality for addiction determined?

    • The appropriate treatment modality is determined by several factors, including the type of substance used, the severity of the addiction, the individual's personal and medical history, the presence of any co-occurring mental health disorders, and the individual's readiness to change. Treatment should be personalized to fit the needs of the individual.
