What is the Significance of Evidence-Based Practices?

Evidence-based practices (EBPs) are essential in the field of mental health and addiction. They provide a scientific framework for evaluating the effectiveness of various treatments, ensuring that you receive the best possible care. Utilizing EBPs in clinical decision-making helps to improve treatment outcomes and reduce the risk of ineffective therapies.

When it comes to talk therapy, evidence-based approaches guarantee the application of methods backed by rigorous research. This translates to proven efficacy in addressing mental health and addiction issues. Treatment efficacy is a crucial aspect of EBPs, as it demonstrates the success of a specific therapy in enhancing patients’ well-being.

Evidence-Based Modalities for Mental Health Disorders

There is a variety of evidence-based mental health services and treatment methods designed to help those struggling with mental illnesses. Some of the more common modalities are:

Individual therapy is a one-on-one mental health service a therapist or psychologist provides to address various mental disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, or trauma. At Sabino Recovery, you receive 35 individual therapy sessions in just 35 days. These sessions can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences, drawing from clinical expertise to determine the most effective approach. In individual therapy, you will develop a trusting relationship with your therapist, allowing for a safe space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Group counseling is an evidence-based modality that involves a small group of individuals with similar mental health issues coming together for support and healing. At Sabino Recovery, these groups are kept small, with no more than 8 participants in a group. They are led by a trained mental health professional and provide collaboration and discussion to help participants develop new skills, coping mechanisms, and insights. Support groups can be particularly helpful for enhancing distress tolerance and emotion regulation.

Family therapy is a therapeutic method that addresses the dynamics within a family system as it relates to mental health disorders. At Sabino Recovery, we host a 3.5-day intensive family program at our campus. Our family program is led by a designated family therapist and is an interactive program in which family members participate in sessions with a mental health professional to better understand and support one another. The goal is to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used evidence-based approach for treating mental disorders. It involves the identification and restructuring of maladaptive thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors in order to alleviate distress and improve overall well-being. CBT can be highly effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, among others.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy specifically designed for individuals with borderline personality disorder but has also been proven effective for other mental health conditions. DBT focuses on the development of four primary skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. This therapy incorporates both individual sessions and group skills training to provide comprehensive support.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based psychotherapy for resolving the emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. EMDR involves the use of bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to process and reframe traumatic memories. This therapy is particularly effective for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma.

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, evidence-based therapy that uses real-time monitoring of brain activity to help individuals regulate their own brain function. By providing feedback on your brainwave patterns, neurofeedback can help you learn to shift the way your brain processes information, improving mental health symptoms related to attention, mood, and anxiety.

Experiential therapy is an umbrella term for various forms of therapy that involve interactive, hands-on experiences to promote emotional healing. Examples include animal-assisted therapies, such as equine therapy, or expressive arts therapies. These evidence-based methods can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally, as they utilize alternative means of communication and self-expression.

Testimonials

Jazmine Reed-Clark

Origins Counseling was exactly what I needed. The staff (Andy, Joellen, Shay, James, everyone) were incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and helpful. They come with years of experience and consider each individual they’re helping. If you’re looking for a facility that will truly care as much as you/your parents do, or are desperate for a miracle — I can’t recommend Origins more! ❤️

Leila Anderson

As a mental health professional, it’s so valuable to me to be able to work with a team of people who genuinely care about the clients who come to them. I have personally worked with several staff from Origins and have had nothing but incredible experiences. Shout out especially to Kat Base, whose commitment and dedication have made a difference in so many lives. Keep doing what y’all are doing!

Ralonda Russell

I wasn’t sure what to expect from my first time in treatment but I have to say, the amazing staff at this place understands how difficult it is to seek help when you’re at your most vulnerable. They so lovingly meet you where you’re at on your recovery journey but, I could quickly tell, they care too much to leave you there. The approach they use is individualized and adaptive to each and every alcoholic and addict. By far, the BEST therapist and clinical team that I’ve had the privilege of working with. I appreciate all the staff and the knowledgeable experience they share about their own recovery journey. Today, I am beginning to thrive and live a life full of hope, perseverance and possibilities and it’s truly incredible! My prayer for all who read this, is for you to discover your purpose and live the life God created you to live!

Camille Arevalos

This is an exceptional treatment center. I arrived there scared, broken & with absolutely no idea how to live life sober. The staff and counselors truly care about their clients. With their guidance I obtained hope, serenity, gratitude and a multitude of coping skills. They loved me until I could love myself. They taught me how to live a happy sober life, one day at a time. I just celebrated one year sober and I know Cypress Lakes Lodge gave me the best possible foundation for long-term sobriety. I will forever be grateful for this place and the staff that worked so hard to help me become the person I am today.

Logan Self

Cyprus Lakes Recovery is a great program for anyone looking to recover from addiction and alcoholism.

Being someone who works in the recovery industry, I really appreciate Cyprus Lakes transparent and open line of communication. Any time we have someone needing to get into their program they’re always super willing to hop on the phone and do whatever it takes to help the individual.

If I had a family member who needed drug and alcohol treatment, there’s a very small list of program I’d recommend in Texas, but Cyprus Lakes Recovery is definitely on that list!!!

Sarah

Hopeless and defeated, Sabino saved my life. I had very little expectations coming in and it has surpassed all of my ideas of what recovery entails. I felt safe for the first time in six years at Sabino. I felt cared about deeply and felt the staff and therapists truly had me the entire time here. They knew my story, inside and out, and held a safe place for me to heal from years of trauma. The integrative therapies and mind/body approach to healing is truly the only way to do it. I’ve been around a fair share of medical professionals and therapies over the years and nothing I have done comes close to what Sabino offers. They care, they validate, they listen. I can leave here feeling secure on my own with the tools I’ve learned and I will always have Sabino to lean on going forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of and facilitating my journey to health. I am forever grateful for this team. One of a kind.

Tammy H.

I would like to thank everyone at Sabino Recovery. This wonderful facility changed my life forever. I came here due to the death of my son. I had PTSD, severe depression, and anxiety. I isolated myself from the world. I couldn’t even run my own business. Through my journey at Sabino and all the different styles of therapy, I began looking at life through a new set of eyes. Not only the staff but the residents here, you have become a family. I will forever be grateful for my new Sabino family. Thank you all for this life changing experience. Love to all!

J.Z

I had no context for what to expect when I first stepped on my path to recovery, health, and wholeness. Even the most basic principles you teach – compassion, kindness, and care – were outside of my daily language. Seeking help for anything never occurred to me, until I lost control of everything. Over my five weeks at Sabino, I came to learn a new language for my life: love, kindness, caring, compassion, and peace have replaced the anger, abandonment, and self-harm that were my vocabulary of choice. Your staff guides without pushing, teaches without force or fear and, at least for me, lights a path recovery I never thought to exist. I am forever grateful for Sabino Recovery, for the staff, and for the resources you offer. I came to the desert to, “get found” – it turns out I was right here the whole time, I just did not realize it. Thank you!

Pamela

The program at Sabino Recovery works! I emerged from an accumulation of unrecognized emotions, issues of trust, and unresolved grief and loss. 35-days of effective integration of customized quality therapy reconnected my mind, body, spirit, and I am worth it! I had masked emotions and hurtful events for decades with alcohol. At Sabino Recovery I safely focused deep within to unleash harmful secrets and self-degradation. Tools of recovery were practiced, not just presented. Integrative therapies were tailored to my circumstances, thus were effective. This residential program is like no other. For me, Sabino Recovery delivered what was professed. I am forever grateful for this gift of healing.

Regina

I am so happy that I chose Sabino to begin my recovery. I have suffered for years from depression, anxiety, panic disorder, and PTSD. The programs that are offered here at Sabino have been truly phenomenal in helping me recover. I also appreciated the professional staff that are here on duty 24/7, which helps create a safe environment. Sabino Recovery uses effective “one on one” methods that meet each person’s individual needs because they evaluate and have a better understanding of your personal traumatic experiences. Thanks Sabino, I am truly grateful to you and the Sabino family.

Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities for Substance Abuse Treatment in Tucson, AZ

Evidence-based modalities that are beneficial to those with a mental illness can also be used to treat addiction. While the focus may be different, these proven modalities have been shown to reduce alcohol consumption and improve things like opioid use disorders when incorporated into addiction treatment programs.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a key component in the treatment of addiction. With 50 1:1 sessions in just 35 days, we are able to address your specific needs. This approach helps you understand the underlying causes of your substance use disorder and provides a safe space for exploring feelings and emotions associated with addiction. Methods commonly used include motivational interviewing, which aims to enhance your motivation to change and embrace recovery, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Group Therapy

Group therapy is an essential aspect of the recovery process, as it promotes social support and accountability. Participating in this type of therapy helps you establish healthy relationships with others who are also in recovery. In our small group sessions, with no more than 8 participants, you will explore common themes associated with addiction, share your experiences, and learn strategies for coping and relapse prevention.

Family Therapy

Family therapy is also an integral part of addiction treatment, as it works to heal the relationships affected by substance use disorders. Our family program is held in person once a week and aids in improving communication and creating a support system for you and your family members. By involving your loved ones in the process, they can gain a better understanding of the challenges you face and learn how to best support your recovery.

CBT

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used evidence-based approach aimed at helping you develop effective strategies to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors tied to addiction. With CBT, you'll learn how to identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use and replace them with healthier alternatives, thus reducing the likelihood of relapse.

DBT

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another evidence-based practice that combines cognitive and behavioral techniques with mindfulness and acceptance practices. DBT helps you establish emotional regulation, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress. This modality has been proven effective in treating individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and emotional dysregulation, such as borderline personality disorder.

EMDR

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapeutic approach that has been shown to be effective in treating trauma-related disorders, which often coexist with addiction. EMDR focuses on processing and integrating distressing memories, reducing their impact on your life, and alleviating symptoms. By helping you address and heal trauma, EMDR can support you in overcoming addiction.

Neurofeedback

Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that uses real-time displays of brain activity to teach you how to self-regulate your own brain function. This modality can help you gain control over cravings and reduce withdrawal symptoms, improving your ability to maintain sobriety. Some studies suggest that neurofeedback is an effective complementary tool in addiction treatment, promoting abstinence and preventing relapse.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a creative approach to substance abuse treatment, encouraging you to engage in activities that help you express feelings and emotions. Types of experiential therapies include art therapy, music therapy, equine therapy, and adventure therapy. These activities provide an opportunity to gain insights, develop self-awareness, and practice new coping skills in a supportive environment.

Relapse Prevention

Relapse prevention is a crucial part of the recovery process, as it focuses on providing you with the skills and resources necessary to maintain long-term sobriety. This includes recognizing triggers, developing healthy coping techniques, and creating a strong support network. Techniques such as CBT, contingency management, and motivational interviewing are frequently incorporated into relapse prevention strategies to support you in maintaining your sobriety.
