Our Approach
to Healing
We believe that everybody is seeking love, connection, and personal fulfillment. Our licensed clinicians seek to help uncover what thoughts, experiences, or behaviors are standing in the way of achieving your true potential. Because addiction involves mental, biological, social, and environmental factors, our therapeutic approach seeks to address all of these areas as well.
All members of Alpha 180 are paired with a primary therapist that they will work with one-on-one for the duration of their stay. Therapy is individualized for the unique needs of each student and may adapt as needs change throughout the course of your stay.
Our experience shows that treating trauma is pivotal to achieving long-term recovery. ‘Trauma’ can refer to any experience, big or small, that made you feel unsafe in the world. When left untreated, individuals will continue to use anything they can to get that sense of safety, regularly turning back to alcohol and drugs. When it is an appropriate fit for the client, we offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is researched-based psychotherapy designed to alleviate distress caused by traumatic memories.
Many individuals that have experienced addiction struggle with feelings of shame. Our therapeutic approach is designed to help you uncover and utilize your unique strengths. As you navigate and overcome the challenges of early recovery, you and your therapist will work together to integrate these successes into your identity. The result is a feeling of confidence, gratitude, and excitement for the journey ahead!
Alpha is set apart by the Launch Program. Each client works one on one with our Case Manager to develop an individualized success plan, whether vocational or academic. We then pair clients with specialists based on their unique goals, ranging from nutritionists and fitness trainers to executive function coaches and tutors.
Young adulthood is all about building a happy, healthy, independent life. This begins with identifying a vision for your future and some first steps you are excited about. For most clients, these may be enrolling in some classes, getting a job to save money, or learning a new skill.
Alpha Launch provides parents the peace of mind that their loved one is pursuing purposeful goals while giving young adults the earned independence they deserve. The Alpha mission is driven by our belief that anyone should have any opportunity they seek!
