Psychological Treatment For Addiction

Evidence-Based Therapies: Our treatments are grounded in the latest evidence-based therapeutic techniques endorsed by the APS, including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Helps individuals identify and change harmful thought patterns and behaviours associated with addiction.

• Motivational Interviewing (MI): A client-centered approach that enhances motivation to change and overcome substance abuse.

• Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP): Combines mindfulness practices with cognitive-behavioural strategies to prevent relapse and maintain sobriety.

• Personalised Treatment Plans: We believe in a personalised approach to therapy. Our psychologists work closely with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals, following the APS's recommended guidelines for addiction treatment. 

• Initial Assessment: Your journey with us begins with a comprehensive initial assessment to understand your specific addiction issues and overall mental health. This assessment follows APS's best practice guidelines, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
