Far too many people have a narrow view of addiction treatment. Group therapy and one-on-one sessions have their benefits, and they’ve helped many people find their way back into a life of recovery and stability. But some don’t see the appeal in talk therapy一at least, not at first. For those individuals, Virtues Behavioral Health offers an experiential therapy program as part of our addiction therapy program with alternative ways to a better future and a long-lasting recovery.

We’re only a call away. All you need to do is contact Virtues Behavioral Health directly at 855.579.8599 and ask more about our experiential therapy program.

Experiential Therapy at Virtues Behavioral Health

Our experiential therapy program in Los Angeles is based on the practices of humanistic wellness. Experiential therapy (ET) is really an umbrella term covering a wide range of interventions that go beyond talk therapy. Our team running the experiential therapy program at Virtues Behavioral Health aim to guide you toward an emotional breakthrough using experiences instead of a conversation.

One example of ET is Virtues Behavioral Health’s guided meditation courses. But experiential therapy could also be any activity that allows our clients the opportunity to understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Experiential Therapy Techniques

Our addiction specialists use a wide range of techniques depending on the individual. Your experiential therapy plan could involve:

• Art therapy
• Yoga
• Meditation

These are all things that seem, at first, unrelated to conventional treatment. That’s because some of them are—at Virtues Behavior Health, we understand that some clients deal with unconventional problems that need innovative solutions.

Benefits of an Experiential Therapy Program

When it comes to treating a substance use disorder, experiential therapy shows incredible promise. The research reveals that experiential methods can develop insight and encourage a positive outlook on treatment. And the mindfulness practices Virtues Behavioral Health offers are invaluable.

Meditation for addiction is more than an excuse to sit quietly for a while. It’s been proven that meditation is vital in creating new neural networks that encourage mental stability beyond substance use.

Regular yoga practice can increase energy and self-confidence, so we incorporate this practice into our addiction treatment plans to reduce cravings and withdrawal systems. Plus, when our clients build a yoga workout routine, they create an outlet to turn to when stressed or triggered.

Our expert team will instill confidence and self-control in you during your sessions, helping you be fully present for the rest of your treatment.
